Comments Thread For: Spence Doesn't Know If Garcia Has Marquez's Grit, Determination

hmm you must be American or an American follower.
Khan gets battered nigh on every time because he’s ko fodder in ANY country.
Kell brook risked his “0” against someone who many (even in higher weight classes) avoided. He gave a very good account of himself in showing he wasn’t afraid and was not kod by Triple G in terms of being counted out.
Khan however, faced Canelo and got ktfo by a timed right cross that the ref waved off before the kunt hit the floor.
So, when you talk about kell brook, who did he get slaughtered by? Spence never slaughtered him and neither did triple g, wtf are you talking about yanky boy?

Meh

They both dared to go places they didn't belong. Might be the same fate for MG

I still say Garcia will win, I don’t consider a single solitary fight to tarnish the mans credibility in doing what many think he won’t.
Technically, he is sound and can put people on the floor whilst spence, the bigger man, taller, has ko power etc
Would be expected to win but why?
Spence has one single fight against a world level opponent (who many on here claim was rubbish because he’s british) in kell brook who was stopped by the referee and not spence. Yes, spence done damage but t the damage was already inflicted by the fearsome triple G, outside of that fight I see no world elite fighters on spences fight card. It looks like I dislike Errol spence but the truth is I do like Errol spence for all the above mentioned attributes but like I’ve said with people like Danny Garcia in the past (just after destroying khant) “ok he’s good but it’s still too early” and Danny Garcia went on to show everything he is, a world class operator.
Same there no with ward but he gave up leaving many wondering what could have been for him?
It’s all on spence here, man coming up to challenge him, physically smaller in every way, does Garcia carry punch power at full welter? Spence has to show better technical ability and all round just win which I don’t think he will do. if Spence beats Mikey Garcia it will not give him the credit as much it would if mikey were his size, his weight and been fighting at the weight. I won’t be surprised if spence drops Garcia but still say Garcia!!!!!!

Not giving Spence credit for stopping Brook is kind of lame, and laughable. The ref stopped it due to damage GGG did? Spence didn't bust the same eye socket, and has a much more violent and relentless body attack than GGG.

If Mikey loses like I think he will, it will be good for him to be knocked down a notch and put in his place. I think we will see when they fight what a mistake this was for him.

I'm guessing MG is using Spence as a barometer. If he can somehow handle him or do well even in losing, it will dictate what div he stays at.

Abraham did quit you moron(he told the doctor he didnt want to continue). But his injury was caused by a legal blow(punches) so he'd have lost by TKO if he didnt continue.

Fights get prematurely stopped by illegal blows and turned to the scorecards plenty. And only a complete e******o, like yourself, would think it's courageous to continue a fight after a guy breaks your nose with his head(and this is salido, a known dirty bastard who leads with his head), when you're given the opportunity to go to the scorecards in a fight you've dominated. If Mikey's nose was broken from a legal blow and he quit you'd have a point, but it wasn't. So what, if Garcia now cant breathe through his nose, fatigues and gets stopped late due to the broken nose, caused by an illegal blow, you'd be satisfied then? Dopey mother***er.

Has nothing to do with courage, continuing at that stage is just ******.

i was done after u said abraham quit....you out here spewing ***** like ur President....

Mikey is too slow, too frail, too small to even have a chance against Spence, this will be a route.

[Madison Boxing]

I dont know but the fact he took this fight shows mikey has more balls than spence.

I see this fight playing out like Mayweather/Marquez. One will have bitten off more than he can chew. It is one thing to fight a naturally bigger man, but it is a whole other thing to fight a natural bigger man with equal or greater skill sets.

[pillowfists98]

He already quit against Salido so no. Marquez would never quit in a fight, even if he was ahead.

Spence is no Mayweather. And Garcia has much better feet & rhythm than Marquez. If Spence can maintain his range for however long the fight last thatll be similar to Mayweather dominating Marquez BUT again Spence isnt Mayweather and Garcias footwork is better than Marquezs.

Im a Garcia fan but I am also a betting man so I wouldnt put $ on Mikey BUT his foot rhythm in my opinion makes it interesting considering Spence uses range to beat on his opponents.

I expect Mikey to come out in traditional Mexican boxing shoes with tassels.

Spence does not have a middleweight body attack.
It is American driven credits that give spence p4p rating but the same kranks who never really rated kell brook, we know it’s an English thing don’t we.
The point I make about a stoppage of brook is valid, he was never counted out in either fight having to pull himself off the floor (like Khan) and it is for this reason I would say that some of these fights are called in an unbalanced way if you like.
Similarly to head clashes, after four, they go to the score....why not include scenarios like brook vs spence?
I mean, damage was inflicted by spence yes but was a count called? Did one of the men get counted? If anything, there should have been a rematch and don’t say anything Bout that until you’ve seen the you tube video of spence stating he WOULD fight kell Brook at either weight.
Kell brook (for the way in which he lost) deserves the rematch. I had spence only ahead for the 10/8 round prior to the stoppage. He was fighting very well but we know it ain’t gonna happen and why? Because spence (understandably) will want to stay in America and draw PPV. The only reason people go to America is for money and this is purely because of the size of the country and not it’s ability to produce the elite.
