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

[Thuglife Nelo]

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

Lipinets nor Broner hurt Garcia past 140lbs. Just because Mikey has been draining to make 135 is not even an option with the new muscle mass he has gained for 147. His physique now is even bigger than his fights against Broner or Lipinets.

As we said, Mikey is now a small Welterweight.

Crawford weighed 153lbs on fight night when he was at 135.

i have a feeling spence might be hitting air like ggg against nelo... but then again, mikey doesnt have the upper body movements like canelo. this is why i cant see mikey winning. he's not fast, no head movements, etc. all he has is timing but it's average at best. mikey just does the basic very well, but it's nothing spectacular.

So according to some IDIOTS, we have the people picking Spence as "fanboys." Lol.... Can't pull for a fighter without becoming a "fanboy." My, the sport has picked up a lot of ******s as fans.

As for the fight, do not expect Mikey to be as fast or have the snap that he did at 135. At 140 he fought Boner and was dominating as expected but was losing steam towards the end against a guy with ZERO movement and low output I would pick Pac Man to beat Garcia at this point.

I'm going with Spence for the UD. If Garcia puls this off he is indeed one of the greatest P4P in boxing.

As we said, who? The Spence cheerleaders?

Garcia only fought twice at 135, he never was drained to make 135.

... in short: Mickey gets little (if any) chances in there vs Spence!...


(of course, Spence might get a shoulder dislocated at some point, might get badly injured by a "clash of heads went wrong", a.s.o.
... but nothing else... )

The past doesn’t matter. We know for a fact Mikey has gained muscle mass that’s almost irreversible. How do you not know this? Mikey here forward will be drained at 135. Depending how comfortable Mikey feels at 147 might change his course even holding the 135 strap. When Cotto gained muscle it was almost impossible for him to even consider 147 let alone 140.

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.

I am sure before you were born and definitely before you were a "fight fan" (and believe me fight fans don't call other fight fans "fan boys" just because they like one fighters odds more than anothers) there wasn't 8 million weight classes with 2000 belts at stake. There were 8 weight classes. Mikey going to 147 from 140 is 1/2 (one half) a REAL weight class. From 135 to 147 it's one REAL weight class jump. And 5 fights spanned from 7/30/2016 to now. Almost 3 full years. Thats a lot of time there, Mr Boxing Encyclopedia. But you aren't a casual so you would know that wouldn't you, smart ass?

Mikey is much smaller than Spence period

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

He fought Broner, a welter, and Lipinets, a champ, at 140. Who of the 140 pounders at the time would have beaten Mikey? Ok, I forgot his last fight against Easter.

Mikey is a 140 pounder just as Loma is a lightweight. Do you consider Loma a lightweight or is he still a superfeather?

You still sound emotional.

This is about Mikey not fighting at 135. Spence isn’t the only 147 fighter.
