    It means he has cut a lot of weight for this fight. He is been inactive for 14 months. He was probably weighing close to 200 lbs before he started to get back in shape again. Also, it could means that he is outgrowing the weight division too. I can see him moving up in weight within the next 18 months or so.

        I think he is very lean and made weight more by losing fat than by losing water weight.He looks healthy and ready to beat up Garcia,

          Given that he looks healthy and shredded rather than emaciated it's probably an indicator of a more gradual long term weight refinement in the months leading up to this fight rather than a torturous water dump (if you take Spence at his word he's been grinding away in the gym since early this year it makes sense), i.e. favorable for Spence

              Yes could be a fight of two half's, Spence Junior has always had good endurance 'But maybe if Garcia has a chance, it is to set a incredible tough pace'.

              If there are any nuts and bolts slightly loose within Spence Junior's engine, a tough intense pace will expose them etc

                Agreed! Also, when you factor in his age (30) and that this has been his only weight class since turning professional in 2012; It makes all the sense in the world that he is probably outgrown the division by struggling to make the weight. He appears gaunt, starched and emaciated at this weight now.

                  He cut a lot of weight in a short time. Looks lean, muscular. No testing for this fight. Maybe it means something maybe it doesn’t.

                    Gotta give spenceweather credit here he looks in great shape, compared to those first gym photos after the accident, he looked terrible. just wish he had the confidence and al gaymon had the confidence to make the Crawford fight in early 2021. But unfortunatey they don't.
