Can Danny Garcia Handle Spence Stalking Him Down For 12 rounds?

[Jayseen]

Are you all forgetting how Porter couldn’t bully Danny as easy as some people thought?? Danny can hold on the inside also to work Danny inside you’ll probably to take a few counters to do so which is not a good gameplan for Spence. I envision Spence doing something similar to what he did with Mikey but without the size advantage and without Danny getting broken down. This will be a much closer and competitive fight.

Danny would fold, he's going to have to show more than he's ever to have a chance in this fight. If Spence is 100 percent he's going to methodically stalk and walk Danny down. Danny was being walked down by light punchers Herrera and Peterson at 140 and looked lost, I can see Spence boxing smart and applying intelligent pressure.

Can y'all inform me. How does Danny Garcia do fighting off of his back foot, getting stalked, or is he the one who usually stalks his opponents. How will his mental handle a bigger "possibly stronger" man walking him down for 12 rounds? This is of course assuming that Spence's chin can hold up to Danny Garcia's punches.

Well to answer your question, let's take a look back at Danny Garcia's toughest moments:

1. The first Morales fight: Morales boxed primarily but Danny eventually wore down the faded legend

2. Mauricio Herrera: Herrera boxed effectively and probably should have been given the nod in a close fight

3. Lamont Peterson: Peterson gave Garcia fits with his movement, but by over-moving he gave up too many early rounds and Peterson's late rally fell just short. I thought this fight could have been a draw

4. Lucas Matthyse tried to do what you described and Garcia withstood the pressure and actually knocked him down to seal the upset. This is Danny's best win so far

5. The first few rounds of the Amir Khan fight: Khan got off to a blazing start like usual and he was boxing beautifully, picking Danny apart in Angel Garcia's words. Unfortunately Amir got too brave and Danny caught him in an exchange. We all know what happened after that

6. Keith Thurman: Thurman primary boxed and he was just a tad quicker throughout the fight

7. Shawn Porter: Porter was surprisingly able to box better than expected and "counter the counter puncher" vs just charging in to apply pressure

I share all that to show that Garcia hasn't really lost due to pressure and he's actually caught guys who tried to steamroll him.

The guys who troubled or beat Danny Garcia primarily did it with boxing. Garcia has slow feet and his toughest opponents got in and out to avoid getting caught with the big left hook in exchanges

I don't think should "Stalk" he is the Campion. Let Danny come to him and try to get around his Jab and also Keep Danny moving his Feet and most importantly don't exchange too often with him to the point in which you're unable to see one of those big Hooks coming around

Spence Showed more versatility vs Mikey, he should fight like that vs Danny and especially after that accident

It's not a direct comparison, but it sounds like you're describing how Canelo gradually advanced against Sergey Kovalev.

The difference is I think Garcia has much more left than Kovalev did so it will be interesting.

[mxtali]

Danny is similar to canelo, though obviously not as good. He likes for the opponent to come to him so he can plant his feet and throw hard counters. He doesn’t like having to chase but with hard pressure he can be out worked.

[Willy Wanker]

Yeah, Garcia has proven to be tough and durable many times. He can box and has a lot of power to keep Spence guessing.

[IceTrayDaGang]

he didnt seem to have any problems when thurman did it....

[ELPacman]

I actually think that is what is going to make for a fun fight. Usually the guys that move a bit give Garcia more problems. Spence coming forward should somewhat play into Garcia's hands because he can be a real solid counter puncher. The more Spence throws, the better Garcia's chance to land something wicked (no look hook).

I hope we see a fun matchup because after last weekend's farce, I forgot the hype around watching high level boxing from quality fighters.

[Hustle]

Why should Spence be so cautious and careful when he is the harder puncher? He won't be. He will attack Garcia and throw many more punches than Garcia round after round and he will win round after round. This will be a good win for Spence not some miraculous no look left hook kO win for Danny. Just my opinion and the opinion of pro oddsmakers who have Spence a 4 to 1 betting favorite to win.

Since when is boxing from the outside cautious?

Its called his best option for a easy victory.
