Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Confirms He Will Aim To Knock Mikey Garcia Out

[Ganondorf]

Once Spence gets hit with (Just ONE) solid Str8 right hand... Errol will get on his bike & turtle like Jeff Lacy did Vs. Calzaghe. Mark it down.

I can’t wait to hear what you geniuses have to say after the fight.

Well no ****. Errol isn't the better boxer of the two. He will win by imposing himself on Mikey and just hurting him to really make a statement. I'll be very surprised if this manages to go the distance. The size difference in the ring on fight night is going to be horrifying for those of us who like Garcia. I think this one shows itself to be a total mismatch EARLY. Mikey is the goods but he has never been hit the way Spence is going to hit him.

This is going to be a damn good fight.
I anticipate Mikey sticking and moving.
Spence will have to cut the ring off all while trying to not get hit while moving in.

When Pretty Boy Floyd fought Diego Corrales.
THATS the type of performance Mikey has to put on and I think he is capable of doing it.

If Mikey wins, it won't be a shocking upset to me.

PBF was on total God Mode in that fight. We may watch boxing for the next hundred years, and still may not see another boxer put on a performance the way that Floyd did in that fight. I do not believe Mikey is capable of replicating that performance as the main reason Floyd was able to beat bigger fighters throughout his career was because he was an exceptional defensive fighter. Unfortunately, Mikey is not a good defensive fighter. Mikey's best bet would be to avoid making the fight into a war. If the fight is boring, this plays into Mikey's hands.

I am looking forward to this fight, just to see how it plays out, maybe Mikey sees something that nobody else sees; however, am I the only who thinks this is a lose lose type of fight for Spence? If he KO's Mikey, he was the bigger guy so he should have, if he decisions Mikey, it's bad because he couldn't KO a guy two weight division lower than him and if he loses, well then that's really bad.

I have Spence winning by Mexicution.

TKO6

Errol just has to use his size to pressure and dont get of the gas, Mikey will want to counter and will want some distance I dont think he likes a crowded phone box, Errol just needs to stay on his chest like he always does and forget about being fancy just be relentless with a pit bull mindset.

Best of luck to both guys I cant wait.

I know Garcia took Maidana's hardest shots in sparring, but with probably 16oz gloves. 8oz gloves is a whole different world with no head gear. Body armor is what Mikey will wish he had.

What was Spence's plan before that?

The media tactics old trick in the book. Statements like this normally mean they will be dr king the opposite.

If he KO’s Mikey, it will look good for Spence. This fight is a miniature version of Duran/Leonard. Mikey is very talented and tough.

But, to your point, I think Spence should have cleaned up the WW division first, like Leonard did, before taking on a shrimpoid coming up. But I’m old school.
