I saw Porter's body attack wear Garcia out in their fight, but Porter tried to do too many different things in that fight, if he'd just stuck to the strategy that works he would have stopped Garcia.
Spence on the other hand never abandons the game plan when it's working. Porter was worn out by Spence's body attack but barely managed to survive even with his ridiculous stamina, not sure how Garcia will cope with the brutal pace and body attack that Spence has. He has a tough chin but his body ain't the same as Porter's and he certainly ain't got anywhere near the stamina Porter has, definitely no where near Spence's engine.
But it all depends what approach Spence brings. Will he box cute like he did against Mikey Garcia or brawl like he did with Brook and Porter?
Nevertheless, I don't see Garcia winning by KO.
I think the only way to KO Spence is to catch him cold, but Spence always boxes outside and use his jab in the first two rounds and then and slowly makes his way on the inside. By then he is already warmed up so you can't catch him cold with an early KO.
You're definitely not wearing him down over the stretch because no one is tougher or has more stamina than he does, and he is the one landing the meaner body shots in a much higher volume.
I really don't know what Garcia can do to actually win the fight. He can compete maybe for the first six rounds but it will be a steamroll after that.
Garcia and Thurman were not able to knock down Porter but Spence did. Porter was unable to knockout lo Greco but Spence did, no one had been able to outbox Mikey but Spence cleaned him out 12-0. Thurman was unable to stop Bundu but Spence did. Garcia and Thurman were unable to hurt Porter and put him down, but Spence did.
He does what other top fighters are unable to do. I suspect he will be able to drop Garcia like neither of the other elites were able to do, and possibly stop him late.
It will be a very good, intrigueing fight while it lasts though. I expect Garcia to give us a few surprises and show his elite talent, but he will lose ultimately.
