    I know how damaged people look and speak and Spence shows all those traits.
    I predict he will be better than ever and beat garcia easily. don't think he is punchy or that the car crash weakened his ability to take a punch. He does slur his words sometimes but he did that from the first time I ever heard him talk many years ago. He is a solid betting favorite so the guys who handicap fighters for a living don't think he is damaged goods. If he does lose to Garcia I would have to think he is damaged goods as you say. Meanwhile my money is on Spence to beat Garcia by many points.

      Spence - 30 words per minute maximum.

      Malignaggi - 300 words per minute maximum.

        It's that Southern accent lol.

        But his new teeth make it worse.

          I knew just by hearing about the type of accident he was in that it would be very hard to be unaffected. Stuff like that usually takes a couple of years. As I understand it he broke alot of teeth and required alot of oral surgery not to mention his head was like a walnut in a blender.
          We will know, just like Kell Brook, by how well he takes a solid power punch. If he shrugs it off well. Garcia is in for a long night. Im thinking it will go 12 rounds. Garcia will just try to survive once he feels Spence’s power.

            He lost A LOT of his teeth. When he smiles, you see pretty much see the replacement teeth.

            Literally no one knows how he will react to heavy shots until he takes them against Danny. That's why the fight is so hard to predict. Spence can fall apart from the first clean shot like Brook did against Crawford or maybe he really is the same fighter and does what he does every fight and ends up overwhelming Danny.

              He always sounds that way. Add in his new teeth and he sounds slightly off.

                Yeah I do hear a difference but it is likely just the Dental Implants but hey we find out in a Couple Of Weeks

                When Danny Garcia land one of those Hooks then we shall see if he is OK

                It is some fans who are just hoping the worst for the guy but again I go back to Vinny Paz breaking his Neck and Edwin Valero Fracturing his Skull and needing Brain Surgery for a Blood Clot. Both was Back in the Ring A year later. Lucky for Spence Jr he did not suffer injuries anything close to what those guys suffered! Just have to wait and see, he looks in Phenomenal Shape!

                  Spence has always had a slow, almost sleepy way of speaking. Guess we find out in a few weeks.

                    I rewatched the fight camp with Porter just to make sure. He sounds almost the same. I think both the new teeth and also the more somber mood of the camp plays a big role.

                    Either way this just makes the fight more interesting to watch.

                    December 5th is going to be a movie.

                      This.

                      Haven't watched this side programming thing yet so can't 100% say I'm not hearing anything different, but he's definitely got that TX accent with a slow twang on it under normal circumstances.
