    A good big man will always beat a good little man.

    The size difference between Mikey Garcia and Earl Spence is horrendous. Almost makes me feel like Garcia has no business being in there with Spence. A fight between a man who probably walks around no more than the Welterweight limit when not in competition. Versus a man who boils down from about Light Heavyweight. Spence looked like a POW at the weigh-in, could see all the bones in his face. He still massively dwarfed Garcia, who looked fleshy. This could be ugly folks, and I'm not sure whether it will be good or bad for Spence's legacy, to brutally bludgeon a man half his size.

          Not always, but yeah most of the time. I've been saying that Garcia's only chance is if Spence has got too tight at the weight and his punch resistance and stamina suffer, otherwise the size + skill combination will take over after 3-4 rounds

            Some examples of a little guy who loses to a lesser bigger fighter due to the size?

                  It really isnt... the bookies had spence 1/8 favourite for a reason when it was first announced. Weight matters, a lot. Otherwise spence would be chasing a canelo payday at middleweight

                    It could end very early although spence might string it out for a bit. I wouldnt be shocked if the first solid shot rocks him.
