Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas: I Like Mikey Garcia's Chances To Shock Errol Spence

[AdonisCreed]

This is one of those fights where I wouldn't be shocked if Spence steamrolled Mikey and i also wouldn't be shocked if Mikey pulled of an upset. The only thing that would surprise me is Mikey winning by KO.

You have to admire Mikey Garcia, he's picked a fight that will test his body to the maximum, his reflexes and movement are going to have to be so on point offensively and defensively. A true challenge that we haven't seen in a long time and will not see again. I have no idea how this fight plays out other than Spence will test Mikey's chin a few times so whether that is early or late this is a true challenge, hopefully Mikey does it but Spence is so big, a true salute from this boxing fan

Is there a chance that Mikey will really faint before throwing his punches? Guess that would be a short fight.

Mikey will K.O Spence, brutally.

When was the last time Mike KO'd anybody, let alone a brutal ko?

No, he just took a big payday. Nothing more.

They said the same **** about Duran moving up to fight Leonard almost 40yrs ago.Spence is a excellent fighter but that fight with the feather fisted Peterson is where Mikey got his balls.

Part of me wonders if Spence is considering doing a Hagler on Garcia and just exploding on him from the start (as Hagler did with Hearns). If it goes to war from the getgo, Spences size and strength come into play immediately and any plan Garcia has would go out the window (like Hearn's did).

I guess we see what gameplan Spence has soon.

That's exactly what I'm thinking will happen.

I'll be honest, I will be absolutely shocked if Mikey wins, or even finishes the fight. I think he will have his moments, win a few rounds, possibly even catch and hurt Spence a little with his new found Victor Conte strength. It won't matter though, Spence will break him down and stop him.

Mikey does have a shot. It will all come down to keeping a cool head under pressure. Spence is young and strong, but dare I say predictable? If Mikey does not have the legs to stay mobile though he will get in trouble. Carrying the extra pounds will tire him out more though. I see this fight as a 60-40 for Spence. If Mikey was fighting Crawford, it would be 90-10 in Crawford's favor.

In before Erroll Spence was weight drained @147lbs is the popular thing to say on Sun. Morning.
