Comments Thread For: Spence: There Were Times I Wanted To Quit, But I Didn't Wanna Let My Kids Down

I think Garcia will pull out the upset, I won't be surprised if Spence wins, I think his technique, inside fighting, and athleticism are still there, but I think his resistance is damaged, his timing and reflexes won't be the same, I didn't like the sound of him at the press conference, he should be able to make weight given he's been training for longer than usual, but the process of cutting weight might take more of a toll than it would have done before the accident, because the brain might not react as well to the dehydration.

For me the only 'Gift' Garcia receive it was maybe in Lamont Peterson fight. But in my eyes both losses on Garcia's record was really close and easily could have gone either way. Garcia was never really beaten and above all he was never outclassed

I'm talking scorecards. It's like Carnelo - there's always one suspect scorecard when Swift fights. Happened with Thurman, happened with Porter....

And you don't think Herrera was a gift? Really?

Not for me. Yes it was a pretty close stuff. Unfortunately Herrera has zero pop, so all this punches he throw have no effect and don't catches judges eyes in my opinion. 116-112 it's a fair card in this case

I don’t know, every time Danny gets in the ring with someone on his level, he is competitive but loses. I love Danny, imagine what his career would be if he got the decisions against Thurman & Porter. I see this fight playing out the same way, Danny being very competitive but losing another close decision again.

Great article.
Right after I graduated I was involved in a collision with an 18 wheeler.
10 months of therapy, chiropractor, and pain management but I did get my license (equivalent of a world title) close to 20 months after I graduated.
I never root against Danny but I would love to see Spence come back from this

That’s awesome. Glad to hear that. That takes a lot of willpower.

Upset is in the air

I have to agree....while everyone is crying "mismatch" or "cherry pick" I think an upset may be on the horizon.

... "while battling back from injuries sustained during his car accident"... but he used to say that he's OK, no serious injuries... well it seems it wasn't just like that...

That's exactly what I was talking about

I've just recently come to this conclusion as well....Danny rocked the crap outta Thurman and he may have been robbed vs porter...he landed the better and cleaner shots while Shawn was just flailing.....Danny can DEFINITELY win this fight and its gonna shock everyone but me....another cherry pick gone wrong....this is the year of the cherry picks gone wrong lol
