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

[Divine Hammer]

errol spence is one dimensional with poor defense. without his steroid punches hes nothing. truth.

That's kinda the way I see it. I'm just not sure if Mikey can execute that strategy and not fade at the end.

Thats why he went to SNAC.

Jesus, worst breakdown ever.

Its like putting $5 on black and $5 on red hoping not to hit 0 lol

Thats why he went to SNAC.

Unless through PEDs, I don't think that SNAC will create the level of improvement in stamina needed. Not saying he had stamina issues, just emphasizing the level of effort it will take to stay out of range for 12.

Its all about the legs man. From what little I have seen about SNAC is they focus a lot on high altitude training and HIIT leg workouts. I think we are going to see the best Mikey we could see come fight night, if Errol TKOs/KOs Mikey, he deserves the respect that he wont get.

If Mikey was bigger I would have my money down on him. Why because Spence has flaws that someone his size can explore.

This is exactly what's keeping me from picking Mikey. I think Mikey is the better and more complete boxer, but size means something and will always mean something. Too many question marks (can Mikey gain Errol's respect with his punching power, can Mikey take a punch from a full fledge WW for 12 rounds, etc.)

That said, would I be shocked if Mikey won? No. But I'm predicting a Spence win

[Clubber Pac]

The flaw is DEFENSE, he can be touched, he has never fought a boxer as sophisticated as Mikey.

That said, if Mikey can't hurt him, this fight is over within 5 rounds.

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.

Blows my mind, over here we are getting it for free and it's finally one worth paying for but they charged us for bloody Eubank Degale lol.

Shields calls himself a trainer and doesn't see, or refuses to admit, some of the glaring defensive flaws that Spence has. Smh.

Now whether or not those flaws can be exposed by the smaller fighter remains to be seen, but they are there. Maybe Garcia can not take advantage of them because he's too small but they would be exposed maybe by someone of Spence's size like Hurd, Lara, Munguia. Like Shields says, Spence is a big WW but I disagree that he is "flawless".

Spence's announced weight on fight night for his last fight was 156 pounds. Lara and Hurd weighed 168 each on fight night when they fought each other and Munguia weighed a huge 176 pounds on fight night when he won the title. I am not making these weights up. They were announced and put up on the screen for all to see. Do the math. On fight night Lara and Hurd are 12 pounds heavier than Spence and Munguia is 20 pounds heavier than Spence. They are not Spence's size. They are much heavier. Spence is just a normal size welterweight wit no weight making problems. Try to write facts and not fiction. Spence has knocked out his last 11 welterweight opponents in a row.

Yeah, that's the way to do it.
