Comments Thread For: Photos: Errol Spence, Danny Garcia - Face-Off at Final Presser

[Ray*]

Errol Spence has alway had a slow deliberate way of talking, but now it's more so than before. No one is reading to much into this, Spence dose look fit. Yet he looks leaner than ever before, as if he has no body fat at all. That is why some on this platform are saying that he looks sickly. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong but he does look a bit ill. We all know what he used to look, and sound like. There is a noticeable change in him, those who are picking Spence to win are expecting the version that they knew before the car crash. The Spence that will be showing up, will be the version after the car crash. This is his first fight back, no one knows how he will react to any, and all aspects within a fight. To make this an even more concerning issue he is going into this fight against a top 5 world ranked welterweight, and possibly the hardest hitter in the division. I can't think of many other instances that have been more reckless than allowing Spence to fight Garcia in his first fight back. This isn't a brave, or courages decision, it is a reckless, and dangerous decision in my opinion. If Garcia loses this fight, he's going to criticized to no end I believe.

The only intrigue in this fight is the car accident, for me Garcia hasn't proven much at 147, every time he steps it up he loses (Porter and Thurman) nor does he hit hard at 147...He hasn't proven that he is the hardest puncher at that weight class.

Stopping Thurman or Porter would prove that, and he didn't. Sorry but knocking out Rio doesn't do much and we all know why (Not trying to dissect Rio's resume).

The room must of been pitch dark when Garcia got dressed, he accidently took his sisters tracksuit and shoes.

Garcia couldn't even stop Redkach a sorry journeyman who has been stopped at lower weights before.

frantic fighter is right on point, in regards to Garcia staying busy, and not gassing out. Danny Garcia has to throw combinations to blind, confuse, and catch Errol Spence. Giving away the first few rounds, and counter punching isn't going to win this fight for him. He has to be active without being reckless, and better bring a full tank of gas to carry him through the contest. I do believe that Danny can win a hotly contested fight with Spence, before Spence starts to break down, and gets knocked out. If he's able to win Garcia will have begun to redeem his career, and Crawford, Porter, Thurman, await next. Now that's a murders row for you, but it's not beyond his reach, and capabilities. That's a way to close out a career, and leave a lasting legacy.

... Boricua, dear... unless Spence is badly shot by the accident, your boy is going to lose this one... too...

Danny has to do what Pac did to Thurman.

Crack his ass early.

We don't know how Spence will take a REAL punch from a hungry WW.

I don't know how this plays out.

Fan of both.

Rooting for Danny but nay the best man win

You don't know too much boxing, right?

Spence should bring a Floyd kinda defense to survive and protect that all screwed up chin all night. I had this fight 60/40 Spence before the accident, now it's more like the opposite, or 70/30.

Errol will never be the same.

... before the accident, I had Spence at 100%... Now I have him 60-40%...

The only intrigue of the car crash happens to be the biggest factor in this particular fight. Just to be clear this wasn't your regular minor car accident. This was a horrific car crash in which the car was totaled, and the driver flew out of the car like a projectile. He landed on his face, and in a photo taken in the hospital he had a whole careers worth of damage to his face. Unfortunately Spence made a bad decision like we all do, but his decision has impacted his life to an extent that we don't know yet. Don't misunderstand what I'm saying here, Errol Spence is one of the most respectful, and talented fighters in boxing. That doesn't change the fact that he's been left with lingering effects from the car crash. Many on this platform have noticed it, and have commented on it. As for Danny's power Keith Thurman stated that no one's hit him hared than Danny, and I thought that Danny out pointed Shawn Porter. Look at the end of their fight, no one was more surprised than Shawn when he announced the winner in that fight. As far as Rios is concerned, he had only been stopped once before (a body shot), Danny was the first to stop him with a shot to the head. He also was the first to stop Adrian Granados, also I didn't say definitively that he was the hardest puncher at 147. What I said was he is quite possibly the hardest hitter in the division. Keith Thurman had to get surgery on his right elbow after his fight with Danny. He didn't return to the ring for two years due to the injury, and subsequent surgery. Danny, and Errol's fight will take place tomorrow, with all due respect we can continue the discussion afterward. I wish them both luck, and pray for their continued health after the fight.

Yes, Danny will have to be on his A game and be consistently more active however long the fight lasts... but as we all know, sparring and the actual fight are two different avenues entirely... so Spence could be in for more than he every expected. True, no one knows how he performs in a battle like this after nearly dying in a wreck... but what if one or two of the aspects of his game are off? I think Swift has a solid chance to take out Spence mid to late rounds... IF he can just stay busy and time Spence properly. This will indeed be one of the most intriguing fights we see this year.



Danny isn't out-thrown by every fighter he faces, but outside of that you've made some good points. I just happen to give Swift a better chance at a W here than you do. He just has to bring it. And stay as active as he was in his best fights. That's all. Then he gives himself the best possible chance of beating odds.

I don’t think that Danny has no shot at all, I just think that it’s an easy game plan for Spence. I give Danny a legit shot in this fight.
