Comments Thread For: Malignaggi, Shields Baffled on Garcia Seeing Flaws in Spence

Either Spence dominates or Mikey makes it look relatively easy. An intiguing fight.

I am not. This fight is a cherrypick for Mikey Garcia because he believes sees something in Spence that he can exploit in order to win. After all, he is the more scientific, skilled and fundamentally sound of the two fighters.

On the hand, While Spence has more overall, physical ability than Mikey Garcia; Yet at the same time, he is still green, not as developed and lacks both the seasoning and experience of a Mikey Garcia.

Mikey knows what he is doing and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if he does win this fight on Saturday night.

To me this fight is indeed a 50/50 toss up.

easy fight for spence, to big, to good. Spence has had better sparing than mikey has had actual opponents. the little man has be great at something (speed, defense, superior IQ...) and mikey is not.

Yes indeed; This fight is so fascinating that I had to purchase it for the $75 price tag through Fox Sports. This fight has had more build up than the Tyson Fury vs the Deontay Wilder bout to the point where I was sold on it.

spences defense isnt that good...when hes offensive he isnt prepared for the counter....lamont had success so did brook and others...this plus his lack of overall pro experience and minimal adversity make for a very entertaining fight.

If one had purchased the Broner vs Pacquiao fight well that was for dumb motherfuckers. At least the Fury vs Wilder bout and this Spence vs Garcia bout is a battle between two undefeateds

The thing shields sees in Spence that the rest of you don't is his sheer physical strength and the way his skills are geared to effectively using that strength. You would need to be a big welterweight and a murderous puncher plus have high level skills to keep this guy off of you.

I'll take that as a TYPO!!

Who has he beaten? How many notable opponents are on his resume? Mikey would be hands down the best fighter that Erroll Spence, Jr has ever fought no matter what size or how big he is.

I'd be with you but Mikey isn't a "slick" boxer who racks up points based on defense and super accurate shots. Further, Spence isn't a slugger/one punch KO guy that will be easily outboxed as he searches for the KO. I see Spence working his jab more than he has in any fight.
