Garcia will surprise the world
Let the exscuses begin

No excuses here. If Mikey finds a way to beat Spence (outside of an obvious robbery) he'll get the permanent respect he is after. But, he didn't really hurt Easter ... I just can't see him hurting Spence at all.

If Garcia wins he will surprise the world.

After Mikey called him out, Spence went to the Porter vs Garcia fight to confront and challenge the winner. He went into the ring and confronted Porter, and called him out to fight him next.

Every interview after that he said he would rather fight Porter coz Garcia is too small.

Not his fault Porter ducked him and hid behind the wbc, same wbc who slapped him on the mouth when the president said in an interview that they would grant Porter the unification fight with Spence if he made a formal request before the wbc convention, request which Porter obviously didn't make as after the convention Porter vs Ugas and Porter vs Thurman were ordered.

So tell us, who is this great welterweight that Spence was supposed to fight?

Spence and Porter don't "make these fights " Haymon does. Do I really need to tell you that? All the twitter beefs and instagram call-outs mean nothing when it comes to matchmaking against the elite level.

Bro, Mikey is not the better fighter, he's the better boxer. There's a distinction.

Fighters usually don't have or use a lot of boxing technique or defense, boxers do. Mikey has a little more boxing skills than Spence, and not by much either.

When I think of boxing fighters, I think of people like GGG, Maidana, Wilder, Spence, the Pacman (a mix), and the like. It doesn't mean they don't have any boxing skills but that's not their primary. They wanna decapitate you!

Boxers are people like Sergio Martinez, Floyd, Tyson Fury, Usyk, Crawford (a mix), Lomachenko. They are highly skilled and primarily depend on their boxing skills- defense, movement, and so on.

That's how I look at it.

Good post, tho.

Thanks; Yeah I get what you are saying. Just having an overall better skillset doesn't automatically qualifies one as a better fighter just the better boxer.

Likewise, just having more physical ability doesn't automatically qualifies one as the better boxer either; Just the better fighter because of the variables like: Size, power, reach, strength, height and weight advantages.

Garcia is going to get really hurt in this fight. Sad to say

I'm a better human being than Tom Brady. All he has is looks, Fame, Money, and a Rich Hot Wife.

Tom Brady is gay and kisses men on the lips.

I think Mikey has this, not because of his confidence but because of his boxing ability.

As I have said before, Brook was out boxing Spence before he started to slow down, then Spence was catching him more and more and took over.

Mikey has better footwork than Brook and I don't see him slowing down the same way

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!

It's hands down that Mikey Garcia is the better fighter. In addition, he is technically, scientifically and the more fundamentally sound one too.

What Spence has to do is to target Mikey's body and midsection; Which is his greatest attribute. It will not only help slow Garcia down but will disrupt his timing and rhythm in the process also.

If Spence can't handicap Garcia's legs by cutting off the ring, then he will probably lose not just on points but also possibly by knockout. So what Erroll needs to do is to target the body in hopes of hurting Mikey and wearing him down.

When that happens the fight would occur in a virtual phone booth where Spence imposes his size, strength and will on the much smaller man.

Then it will be a wash; However, if not then Mikey wins by a blowout because he is naturally lighter, faster, quicker and the overall better fighter than Erroll Spence.

I need whatever it is you are smoking. Lmao!!

Spence is good but not that good. Brooke was still taxing his ass for 7 rounds before GGGs damage kicked in.

GGG damage didn't kick it...it was the accumulation of blows from Spence. Yall dudes will make up anything lol!!

I am tired of these mismatches. Boxing is about height and weight, it is about weight classes. How difficult is it to understand?

[j.razor]

If Garcia comes in the fight with great conditioning I would give him a great shot to pull it off.
He’s going to have to be mentally strong to keep moving and not get caught in a trap.
He has the edge in footwork and experience. Spence is a good fighter that could end the fight with a big shot.

Doubt Mikey will bring his power to 147..
