Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Spence Doesn't Have More Skills, More Power Than Me

[Silver Spear]

Some of my thoughts too - Danny is a counter-puncher, and Spence being longer, what happens if Spence keeps it long ? Danny isn't a go forward fighter, and in this fight Spence doesn't need to be, so Danny will have to try force the action against a counter-puncher, else he'll just be watching the rounds tick away to Spence. Can't see how Danny is going to win this one unless Spence has lost a step.

Personally I like Danny more than Spence but I agree. I find it hard to see how Danny pulls this one off. Like you said, unless Spence has lost a step and if he has then did Danny beat the real Spence? Do people give him credit if he wins?

What is this garbage?! Burgos never hurt Mikey for real. That's ridiculous. And getting dropped by Martinez was just a good punch during a punch. Mikey proceeded to knock both those dudes out in no time, and build himself a hall of fame career that still has more to come. Some of y'all just say things out loud to hear yourself talk, even when it don't make sense

I always found Mikey to be easy to hit in the early rounds where he looked sloppy and careless with his defense. He may have changed that strategy now that he is in a division with people that can hit harder than he is used to.

Exactly this, Spence wins simply by being more active. Danny isn’t at Broner levels of not letting his hands go but he doesn’t do himself any favours.
I had money on porter when they fought, who I believe is less skilled and has less power than Garcia, but guessed he’d just out work him. There’s no excuse for losing like that.
And Thurman didn’t run after he built up an easy lead, he coasted. Had his pipe and slippers out in his comfort zone second half of fight.

One poster mentioned picking up a loss can be a learning experience, which can be true. But Danny doesn’t learn from them, he doesn’t leave it all in there, gets out worked and then complains the judges got it wrong.

exactly!! Danny has a good chin also....just won’t take the risk and lay it all it all on the line to b great!

The car wreck has no effect on Spence’s boxing capabilities.

People really need to stop making excuses at every chance they get.

Danny Jacobs literally beat cancer and continued his awesome career.
Gtfoh.

That said, Danny has a big punch. Spence is the better technical boxer. But it’s combat sports...anything can happen.

I’m rooting for Swift to get the upset KO/TKO.

True a wreck should not affect your boxing skills but abilities? What if the wreck did permanent damage to certain muscles and Spence no longer has the same legs to generate power or the speed (what little he had) to connect? What if he is broken mentally from the crash?

Yes he does, Danny

well, he did get dropped by martinez and by the way he fell he was hurt. burgos hurt him too, in the first round and mickey didn't stop him, actually it was a pretty boring fight.

EDIT: i correct myself, it was in the second round vs burgos were got hurt

Spence is the more skilled fighter and Danny Garcia’s power doesn’t translate to 147.

Garcia could easily have 2 more loses on his record

[JonDP]

Garcia is abit of a one trick pony and has been outboxed numerous times. That being said, if he times you with that looping left hook you're in trouble.

[Roadblock]

I think Spence has a little more of everything over Danny.
