    Danny Garcia is very dangerous for Spence coming back from a serious accident but respect to both fighters, it is a good fight to roll out after this pandemic. The winner of this deserves Pacquiao for sure!

      I was among those expecting a relatively easy or uneventful fight vs Danny before the accident when Errol was looking like Errol has been looking & Danny seemed motivated 99% by money over legacy & dedication to excellence. Things are different now when we don't know what Errol is still capable of or not & I'm not entirely confident Errol or his team are either so much as they are whistling through the graveyard hoping nothing has changed. And maybe nothing or little has, but I don't feel very secure saying that after the type of accident Errol survived.
      Yup he’s right under Bud and Spence and the thing is i don’t think the tiers are separated by much as we’ve seen. Spence and Porter took each other to the limit, and Crawford was dropped by damn MM. The gap between them is closer than the hype would have you believe, in my opinion anyway. This has 12 round decision written all over it and Spences punch resistance has a big question mark on it.

        Yeah the over under is going to be 11.5.

        12 round fight for sure

          This is how I feel too.

          I know he said he wanted no tune ups but I think by modern day boxing standards he deserves respect for hopping right back in with Danny (even though the layoff was Spence's own fault).

          I’m excited for this one

            100% with you on the bolded.

            I've never understood why either Errol's or Bud's more reasonable fans have been so confident on either guy vs the other as many are. They have both shown some beatability in them vs seemingly lesser guys than each other. Could go either way or fook one or both could get upset before they even fight each other which is exactly what happened to AJ vs Wilder. I have leaned Errol in the past but have copped to it being 50/50ish.

            And the punch resistance question on Errol has me less inclined to think this is a virtual lock for 12 rounds. I trust Danny to be able to hang 12 more often than not vs Errol. And while I'm more likely to think Errol would win that 12 round decision I'm aware of the fact he might have some unknown til fight night issues that alter Errol's ability in the ring so sharply it could drastically alter his career path from here out. It probably sounds like fear mongering to the fanboys or haters but in reality it's just about being prudent about the unknown implications this accident COULD (the key word) have had on Errol's body & physical abilities.

              This allows Pacquiao vs Mikey to happen and then hopefully Crawford vs someone like Ugas.

              Lol this is absolutely a tuneup.

              Danny is done at the top level and never really was a true elite 147 pounder.

              Spence should be targeting Crawford and vice versa.

He's obviously not the same fighter but has a name at least. I don't know, but Crawford's run at WW has been kind of depressing. I want to see him get the shot to battle it out against the top dogs...Hoping he gets the opportunity to show his elite skills and potential greatness against Spence early 2021....It may end up being at 154 and not at 147 though.
                I’d pick Abdukakhorov to stop Brook tbh man. I think he’s finished.

                  Absolutelyyyy NOT. This is a dangerous fight for spence off of a serious car wreck.

                  Danny has NEVER been dominated nor stopped in a fight. He has 2 losses vs porter and thurman and both fights were very close fights so i have no clue how you can call him a tune up.

                  A tune up would be some old welterweight journeyman with a string of losses or some obscure fighter with a padded record of nobodies.

                    I don't see that happening. But anyways I'm thinking he fights Lipinets next like he was supposed to before the pandemic.

                      I'll support 2 of my favorite fighters and buy this. I would attend if it was allowed.
