Spence booed in his hometown? What gives??

[Sledgeweather17]

true boxing fans know this is a very risky fight for garcia. win or lose garcia gets huge support and credit for taking on this challenge. spence and his handlers would never go up two weight classes to challenge someone like garcia.

Spence already said he would move up two weight classes to fight Canelo.

Wow...an undefeated, humble fighter fighting on the big stage in his hometown gets heavily booed? Some of these so called boxing fans are a disgrace.

I was laughing when people called this a hometown fight for Spence.The Mexican fan base is huge in Texas and Cali and others.Maybe people that talk about an American bias will start to get it.Any promoter/manager would take a Mexican,PR,or even Irish or Polish fighter over an American esp African American fighter.We don't follow our fighters like UK or other places we more split up.Yea crowd will be for Mikey tomorrow and yea I know he is American but its the fact he is Mexican that will get him cheers.And a Mexican would get more fans in Texas then a Mexican American its always been that way.Mexican Nationals draw more.

There is so many Mexicans in America that no matter where this fight is held Garcia is the home fighter.

That happens when you take part in a mismatch instead of facing real threats, most people root for the underdog.

Also Garcia has way more support than Spence, even in Spences backyard which is telling.

Spence needs to fight Crawford next.

americans dont even root for their own at times when going up against a fighter from a different country! so wtf are you crying about? these are mexicans and mexican americans fans so of course they're gonna root for one of their own.

I was at a party that was 99.9 percent black. We were watching the Bradley vs Marquez fight, EVERYONE was rooting marquez except me. These were super casuals too, they didnt know either fighter. I dont know if its a good thing, or were they coons..
Thats how divided blacks are as a race

Nobody asked Mikey to call out Spence. It sounds like tears.

Texas is full of mexicans, i think Spence had to know what was going to happen. This shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. It didnt matter if it was Spence, Floyd, Broner, Porter, Thurman etc

Anyone is getting bood vs a mexican boxer than isnt mexican

No hard feelings. If boxing had a bigger black fan base it would be a different story..

I went to the paul williams margarito fight in carson, me and my buddy were nearly killed

Naturally no one believes you till you do it! No one believed Mikey so why the hell would we believe Spense specially since he perceived only as a bully willing to fight a guy 15 lbs lighter than him

I believed Mikey. You can check my post history and you'll see.

Mikey knows what he's doing, he knew going to Dallas wouldn't be going into hostile territory, but it still is Errol's hometown, so he can't really complain about not getting home advantage.
