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

[BillyBoxing]

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. But you aren't a casual so you would know that wouldn't you, smart ass?

I call fanboys people trying to pimp Mikey has a non smaller guy moving up just one weight class which is quite dishonest, and this in order to pimp Errol's resume.

I know about former weight classes but who cares? We are in 2019 and rules changed.

So now, it's Mikey moving up one "former weight class" hahaha
How many mental tricks will I have to read on this board?


What about Errol moving up.one weight class to fight the nelo Vs Jacobs winner huh?

Errol and his fans talking a good game...

[BillyBoxing]

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.

Mikey last fight was at 135, just like Loma, Loma last fight was not at 130, apple and oranges...
As usual.

As a GGG fanboy, did you crap on GGG when he fought Brook? That's a real two weight class. Brook never had a fight at 154 at the time. Should I check your post history to see your defense of GGG?

Am I crapping on Spence?

Both are size mismatches as far as I'm concerned.

Even worse for Mikey since Mikey his fighting in a 5th division....

But hey, both brook and Mikey asked for it.

Have fun with my post history.

Garcia whored himself out to Al Haymon for money. Now Haymon's blue chip fighter is going to collect his pound of flesh on Saturday.

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.

OMG this bullshieeet again! I've seen Floyd standing next to Spence. Floyd is clearly shorter.

[Sledgeweather17]

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.

Nonsense! We've seen fight night tale of the tape for many Floyd fights, Floyd is not a 154lber.

He weighed 146 ON FIGHT NIGHT when he fought Baldomir, 149 when he fought Judah, 150lbs when he fought Ortiz, 150lbs when he fought Canelo, and 148lbs when he fought Maidana.

That is not the weight of a 154lber, rehydrating by 2 to 4 lbs from 146lbs (at one day weigh in) does not make you a 154lber.

Scale >>>>> your opinion.

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.

Even if Mikey could move like Canelo Spence aint no head hunter, he's the body snatcher of his generation.

ggg was also known for his nasty body shots prior to facing canelo. and then what happen? no body shots thrown at all. but i just cant see mikey fighting like canelo so maybe spence will have success.

Gee was afraid of counters. He was used to fighting bums so when he got hit with that elite power by Jacobs and Canelo he abandoned the body attack for fear of hard counters to the face.

But we saw how Spence handled that shieet against Brook. Spence stuck to the game plan no matter what was happening. He aint afraid of being hit he just keeps coming until you fold.

Also, GGG incorporated good body shots to his style, but his style was not based on body snatching. Spence's MO on the other hand is the body attack.

He is a body snatcher, while Gee is a guy who happens to throw a hard body shot.
