[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Errol Spence Jr. and Shawn Porter kicked off their press tour Tuesday just outside of the Staples Center on a sweltering day, and although most of the proceedings were respectful and civil, Spence Jr. threw a verbal jab at his adversary.

There's only 3 ways this fight will end. 1. Spence stops Porter by the 8th round. 2. Porter quits on the stool from the beating or 3. His father throws in the towel to save his son from ruining his boxing career.

Everybody got a gameplan until they get headbutted in the face.

I don't know Errol, you shown to be a little soft when it comes to the roughhouse aspect of boxing. You didn't stop Mickey either so maybe 'Showtime' Porter kicks your ass.

Errol wanted to outbox Mikey Garcia to prove a point. He could have gone in there and just blasted him with power shots but that wasn't what he wanted to show the world that night.

Errol Spence wanted to stink-up his first PPV against a overrated lightweight. Money well spent!

Funny how that's the perception of Mikey AFTER he got schooled! Somehow we forget that he won a title @ 140 just one year before fighting Spence! This is how Mikey was viewed BEFORE Errol got in that azz:

March 15, 2019:

So when Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs), to the shock of many, called out Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) even before Garcia unified lightweight belts against Robert Easter Jr. in July, Spence answered the call. Of course he would accept the challenge from a smaller man he is heavily favored to defeat.

But there is intrigue. Boy, is there intrigue, because it's not too often that two elite fighters, both undefeated world titleholders on the pound-for-pound list and with crowd-pleasing styles, are willing to fight each other...

There is little question that Spence, who will be making his third title defense, and Garcia, who has won world titles at featherweight, junior lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight, rank among the elite fighters in the world.

According to the ESPN poll, Garcia ranks No. 5 and Spence ranks No. 6. That alone makes their fight extremely significant. Both fighters believe that a win over the other, given their stature, should vault them to No. 1.

It remains to be seen whether that would be the case, especially if Spence wins because, well, he's supposed to...

Garcia is facing his third undefeated titleholder in a row in a third weight class. Last March, he moved up to junior welterweight and outpointed Sergey Lipinets to take his belt. In July, he returned to lightweight and cruised past Easter to unify two titles. Now he's going up two divisions to fight Spence...

"Size always matters, but when you get in there, at the end of the day, it's about skills and intelligence. I'm not going to rely on size," Spence said. "I'm going to focus on my talent. If I can roll through him, then I'll show my killer instinct and try to get him out of there. I'm going to use my ability to break him down."

Said Derrick James, Spence's trainer: "This fight is all about the skill set, not the size. Size will come into play a little bit, but we're going to show the skill set that we have to beat this guy. That's what Errol is going to show."

Spence Jr. did exactly what his trainer said he was going to do! Job well done!

You dont do that on PPV. You make a loud statement, especially vs a SMALLER guy. Had he blasted out Mikey, it wouldve been a better ending to that glorified sparring match! The whole card was weak af.
