Comments Thread For: Spence: I Don't Believe Anybody Has the Power To Knock Me Out!

[Citizen Koba]

That's exactly the kind of thinking that gets you knocked out. The quicker Spence stops his opponents, the more he reduces his chances of getting stopped himself. So in some ways a brutal offense can protect you if it lessens the amount of punches you have to absorb. If Spence really believes that Mikey can't knock him out then we should expect him to come out guns blazing from the very start of round one, without any respect for Garcia's power. Let's see if that is what happens....

Ha ha that's almost exactly what I was gonna say... I would suggest to Errol that he probably doesn't want to test the limits of that belief.

In general though there's a lot of the GGG in Spence, he's cautious and methodical and in many ways quite a conservative fighter relying on pressure and consistently landing heavy punches without really aiming for the highlight reel or taking his eye off the incoming. What that means is that you rarely see him over-commit, which is the thing that usually gets the heavy handed dudes get countered and stopped. It's a low risk high success strategy for a heavy handed dude with good fundamentals and it should take him a long way... his kryptonite is likely to be excellent counter punches and skilled movers... but then they give everyone a hard time.

Stand flat footed with ur chin out long enough and someone will sleep you.

At 147, Spence might be right. And I don’t think Garcia, who started at 126, can do it. Robert is doing what everyone does, building up his fighter, but Mikey isn’t knocking down walls at welterweight. I see a Spence KO tonight, or a relatively easy decision for the bigger man.

That's asking for it bro lol haha you should never say it even though you feel that way lol.... All it takes is one well placed shot and it's a done deal lol

[AdonisCreed]

Besides all those punches you take start adding up over time. The longer you're in the fight game the more your body gets more wear and tear. The only way to hold it off is to fight once every two years like Gary Russell Jr does lol haha

Yeah, Spence does his business pretty carefully and consistently. I agree, he does have those similarities with Golovkin.

Mikey will K.O you this night

Mark my words

Garcia probably wont ko him, but can and will win on points.

[Butch.McRae]

He hasnt a faced a big punching welter yet so the jury is still out on his chin

What current fighter is a "big punching WW"? Lol None of them are hitting BIG but him. Brook is pretty damn strong and caught him flush more than a few times.

So Spence says this and no one calls him arrogant. But if it were canelo or Mikey, t
They are arrogant af. Double standards
