Comments Thread For: Mikey Garcia is a Winner Regardless of Result Against Spence

[ShoulderRoll]

All praise and credit to Mikey for taking a risk.

His attitude is much better and more preferable than the "let it marinate" crew.

Dont think so. Was khan or brook a winner? ,all it likely does if he loses is end his career. Not the win win people say it is. He still has to perform.

This is what I've been saying a lot. Mikey ducked Loma in 135 and Bud in 140, both fights would have had more sense due to the size. But in both he would look bad and there wouldnt be excuses. Now he jumps on huge Spence, takes big paycheck and expects respect no matter what from him fanbase and some others. Take what it takes Mikey and crawl away a beaten dog. That's what I say.

He didn't "duck Loma." Stop repeating falsehoods.

Lomachenko has clearly said that he wasn't ready for Mikey Garcia coming off his surgery and preferred to face a Pedraza-level opponent instead.

This is the first example that sprang to mind. I don't recall many folk calling Kell a 'winner' to comfort him while he waited for his face to be rebuilt.

... but maybe now they plan a "fix" of some sort -- with Spence not going for the actual demolition...

Mmmm. Well, we'll see... that it's even something that we might consider is already an sad indictment of the sport. Let's hope such questions aren't necessary.

... both fighters will get the payday or their career so far... they may provide a "gentlemen fight" (I've seen this before)...

Well he wont be a winner if he gets pummeled.

The fight is free to air on ITV in the U.K. which is a nice bonus.

Looking forward to getting up at silly o’clock in the morning - hope it’s not a short blowout for Spence!

I said something similar a week or so ago. I think this fight is designed to make both Spence and Mikey look good in the end. I doubt we'll get the fight as it should be tonight.
