Comments Thread For: Spence Aims For 'Spectacular Performance' Against Mikey Garcia

No, that was at 140. So as the Lipinets fight. And Spence is a massive welterweight.

Spence is basically fmj height.(fmj was bigger than most fans claim,he was the same height maybe a tiny bit bigger than Canelo when they were face to face @ the weigh in. Fmj could've easily campaigned at 154 but he knew speed was his biggest asset & at ww he was bigger than most his opponents heightwise/reach.

You absolute legend, watched pac broner on itv4 wasnt sure about this one forgot Hayman was involved. Gonna be a late one but worth it thanks mate

Looks like ITV are spending a bit of money on boxing recently. Let's hope they get some decent viewing figures. Long may it continue.

I just can't see myself paying for this fight. Horrible undercard and predictable fight going to UD

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

Floyd is 5'8" Spence is 5'9 1/2"

Floyd and Canelo are the same height

Floyd could have made 140 without too much trouble. Definitely not a 154lber.

There are so many people out there that automatically equate height differences to one guy being "bigger", while it is only one measure of it. If that was true, Robert Easter is "bigger" than Spence.

Ive posted countless pictures before of canelo vs mayweather to prove my point mayweather was very muscular & Canelos height but he CHOSE to stay at ww because he lacked power at 154& didn't benefit from balooning up after weigh ins because speed is his best asset. nothing more. fans/media assign someone supposed true size based off fanboiness instead of objectively considering wingspan,height then the other factors,not just because that fighter says so. wingspan/height are the 2 most decisive factors in a fighters true weightclass thats what BMI is based on,& although an imperfect science its not my opinion its simple physics.

Gerbasi exaggerating from 135-147. Mikey dropped the 140 strap. I’m more than sure this is all being masterminded by Haymon. Should Mikey lose, how much will Arum offer Mikey for the 135 Green Strap?

Both Mikey and Loma will have 1 loss, and oddly enough Loma lost to Mikey’s Salido.

People should be seeing this as any 140 guy moving up. Mikey is a small Welterweight, that’s all.

Cut the bias and the lies, Mikey started at 126 and never was a normal 140 pounders.

Mikey still weighed 135 in his last fight, so he's jumping 2 division from his last weight, fight. Period

Exactly. Posters twist things to fit their arguments. Knowledgeable fans know what's up. Mikey was the best fighter at 140 and a champ. He has a chance.

Didn't he fight Broner at welter (144 or something)? Can't remember.

You are actually the one twisting things here, Mikey fought his last fight at 135, started at 126, he is not a true 140 nor moving up only one weight class as a matter of a fact since his last fight was at 135. So 135 to 147 period

He also never claimed the throne at 140. You said was the "best at 140".

Lies, lies and lies, this is getting worse, disappointing

Why do you assume boxers are the same physique as they age? Human law shows metabolism slowing down, harder to burn fat as you age, and you naturally get bigger. 126-147 is 21lbs. Quit playing.

Lol at Spence fanboys trying to pimp Mikey as a 140 pounder moving up one weight class, Mikey is not even a big 135 pounder as we saw in his last fight, he was a 130 pounder like what 5 fights ago?

I mean they would distort any kind of reality for their hero.

Social media brought up fanboyism to a new level.

You are the one playing, Mikey weighed 135 in his last fight, so he's moving up 12 pounds for Spence.

He's moving up 2 weight class.

Mikey is a lightweight since he can make 135, and not a big one by the way.

I didn't say he never gained some weight.

Mikey is just challenging himself Vs bigger guys...unlike Spence who does the opposite
