    IM comparing Spence to Mikey in this sense, Spence is not gonna want to be on the inside with mikey this fight. And from teh outside spence punches are long wide open shots that leave himself wide open for.

      Team Garcia is just banking on Spence having big difficulties making weight. That's all... Spence is a HUGE welterweight...

        I have no idea but I think Spence will dominate and destroy Mikey from round 1 and KO him in 6 rounds or less. Spence's mistery flaw won't matter then. MIKEY DOWN!

          Mikey wanted to take the least career hurting loss. He seen that Loma was at 135lbs., the other 140lbers were better than Lipinets, and an L at 147lbs. wouldn't be that bad. War Mikey will disappear to the next overrated Mexican after Mikey gets beat down.

            Don't agree at all about Spence throwing "wide open shots from outside"but i i think your right about Spence not wanting to fight Mikey on inside EARLY.Mikey im not sure is faster one punch for one punch but with punch 3-4 yea with his shorter arms and smaller size period he should be able to get of compo's quicker and obv with his reach he will want to be inside.But i think this ends with Spence ****ing his body and hurting him to head with uppercuts on the INSIDE.I know your a HUGE Mikey fan man your in a no lose situation if Spence wins he should he is in 1st div and Mikey in 5th.And if he somehow pulls it off its up there man.Name how many guys have beat Bigger,Younger great fighters??Duran beat an Bigger,stronger,faster PFP all time fighter vs SRL.But he is in VERY small company if he pulls this off.

              I really do think he see's something(that gives him chance) and im pretty sure its Spence's less then elite defense and slower feet but he don't have the elite defense and fast feet to pull this off imo.But i really do think that a pretty big part of this is he is in a NO LOSE situation.And the Lippenets fight showed he was toped out he was feeling them shots and he can be hit.Funny thing is he should have stayed at 35 because as great as Loma is he is toped out at 35 some guys just DONT HAVE THE BODY to MOVE UP.And their no problem with that moving up weight div cherry picking titles is the MOST OVERATED thing about boxing these days.Christ look at Broner its much more impressive to dominate even a weaker div for years and beat all comers(and styles).I mean does Hagler get ANY STICK for just being Middle champ for 7yrs and not fighting Spinks??I wish Loma would move back down to 130 and uni div and beat all them feathers waiting to move up and anyone else that comes along(Haney,Gacia,Stevenson ect).

                He says it was the Peterson fight, I hear Robert say some from Brook

                After a while, and during the times he was hurt, Peterson tried to adjust and was trying to counter Spence's left hand by staying put and timing a right hand, he landed one that looked worse than it was, Spence smiled at it and kept coming....but there were others he just missed most of them where Spence looked exposed to it. Peterson has his hunch and to he pulls his right hand along with his body, and it shortens it up so he was missing. A different angle and it would have been landing...different kind of right hand that Brook was throwing. But Peterson has been in his share of dogfights, he was composed trying to find that.

                Yeah, I think Mikey has the kind of footwork and timing to find that kind of opening and land, but he must be expecting that Spence will crumble after that and will stop throwing body shots ...what happens if his punches get 0 respect? Tough night in store

                  For all the talent that Errol Spence Jr has, he still loves to fight and bulldog people. Tight guard, tuck the chin, fight through a touch of fire, and start busting windows on the inside.

                  Mikey sees this, knows the talent/skills that he has, and earnestly believes that he can play the proverbial matador to Spence's bull.

                    Those saying that Spence don't want to be inside with Mikey, when has Mikey been an in fighter? Infighting isn't something you learn overnight, it takes years of development and I don't think Mikey will all of sudden be a great infighter much like I'm not sure his body will hold up after years of not doing sit-ups lol.

                      Yes but who would have more endurance now, Mikey or Lara going 12? Hurd bull rushed Lara all night and it was because of Lara’s accuracy and chin that him battle test life and death with Hurd. Also Hurd is significantly bigger than Lara.
