        Spence doesn’t have the best head movement and does stick his chin in the air at times.
        I can see him being outboxed if he was hesitant at letting his hands go against a fighter with great speed timing and power.

        That’s what I think they “see”
        I think it’s a lot to ask for Garcia imo

          He squares up when going to the body. Everytime he did it Brook caught him with something.

          I haven't watched the Peterson fight to see if he did it a lot but that's when Mikey said he saw something.

          Mikey is a killer when fighters square up but I don't know if he has the power to hurt Spence.

          Brook didn't hurt him enough to deter him.

          Peterson hit him with some vicious shots and he just smiled so...

                Slow feet and not elite level defense is what I think he see's.Thing is he don't have an elite enough defense or the fast feet to beat him.I do think Mikey will give him some probs early and more I thought about it the longer he goes. Fighting little quick and shorter guys can take a bit to get used too and then we got Mikey's skills.But I just cant see him doing it for whole fight and think Robert will pull him once he starts getting touched up.Lippenets was hitting Mikey and Mikey was feeling them shots Spence is a WHOLE DIFFERENT animal then Lipps.

                  He does keep his head on line and his feet are a bit slow and does not have elite level defense BUT he inside game is FAR from weak.He has a great body attact and good uppercut.Also no "long wide punches".Mikey will give him some probs early(little short quick guys takes a bit to get used too)but once Spence starts touching him up Robert will get him the he ll outta there.If Lippenets could hit him and make him FEEL his power how does he deal with Spence for 12??Just cant see it.

                      I think Mikey is going to try to land the right uppercut as Spence steps in with his right jab. Spence is open for it quite often but executing it is a different animal.
