3/16 SHO PPV: Errol Spence vs. Mikey Garcia fight is ON! (IBF Welterweight Title)

[Knicksman20]

Cause your whole love for Spence came from his giving Floyd a black eye lol.

You can say Spence spars heavyweights, but it’s a fact (unlike mostly conjecture which you posted) but he started at 154 and dropped down. Anyways Mikey IS there to be hit. He is also always in position to evade punches, even in the the pocket. Errol’s whole style is coming forward applying pressure. So what happens when you got a dude with crude footwork, circling to his left? You run him into your left hand, make him reset pop him with the right and get out. Eventually Spence is going to get tired of pushing himself into right hands and resetting. That’s when Mikey will have his best chances, because Errol isn’t capable of making adjustments on the same level as Garcia. Garcia just needs to keep Spence’s feet moving and he’ll be okay.

I might take some heat for this but Spence in a lot of ways reminds me of Tito Trinidad but a little more athletic. He's robotic in a sense like a seek & destroy fighter that fights pretty much one way & tough to beat. Maybe he has more tricks in his bag because no one has made him do it but sooner or later (could be this fight) someone will either expose him & his obvious flaws or make him show his greatness

I might have to order this at home. I usually see it at the Regal, but for some reason, they don't have it playing at the regular theater I visit. The fight is playing at other Regal Theaters further away. I guess this theater only focuses on well-known fighters.

Its a known fact Erroll Spars Heavyweights they fact you think I'm making it up proves you don't follow the sport, listen to his trainer dunce, you so busy trying to throw jabs to win some imaginary argument because you have no facts



Also Mikey GETS HIT ALL THE TIME, he is not evasive, he takes clean shots every single fights he in lmao, he's not some puzzle you have to figure out he is straight up down, Spence has better foot work than Mikey you have no clue what you are talking about, the right hand isn't the punch Mikey is trying to land on Spence it is The Left Hook ,

Well you said one thing I agree with, and typed a bunch of opinions. A hero to look up to? It’s an entertainment sport, I’m not looking for an idol. The rest of the stuff except Mikey gets hit is your opinion breh. So stick to facts, not opinions next time you reply to me.

Spence is a BEAST!!!! No doubt about it. But, unbeatable? Not even close.

 

[KamikazePilot]

The question is can Mikey Garcia take the beating? How will his body feel after 5-7 rounds?

If Spence really goes out there and tries to steam roll Mikey that will be a grave error.

Errol’s best bet is to keep a consistent pace and avoid taking body shots in the first four rounds. Everyone knows Errol got a problem when he’s in the high guard. If he doesn’t fight intelligently the first four rounds he will be dropping his jab hand to protect against the liver shot, and will be in a bad place. Max Kellerman said Mikey is like a killer robot. He will make adjustments every four rounds and Spence has a deficiency for every round, especially if your Big G and Robert Garcia. That being said if Errol does score a KO it will be late as Mikey is slightly more prone to make mistakes in the later rounds. Again Spence is a beast and I think he’s gonna win. But this is not a Triple G vs Kell Brook. Errol definitely isn’t Triplle G and Kell isn’t even in the same tier as Mikey.

Robert throwing in the towel in the fifth, this narrative people have mikey being some great boxer is just false, this fight is purely for monetary reasons because he not working with bob so he will never fight loma or crawford, he really got nowhere else to go so he cashing out
If he was serious about campaigning at welterweight he would take on matthysee or somebody like that first
I mean damn even Floyd took a tune up fight when he first went at 147 before fighting Judah for the IBF belt
In that Salido fight after dropping Salido all those times he couldn't get him out and salido was actually was coming back the last couple rounds the before the fight was stopped, he was getting to mikey body at will, imagine the devastation spence is going to unfold on this boy, the ass whooping will be glorious
Lipnets was eating those left hooks from mikey flush, spence walking through his punches

people talking about mikey skills like he crawford or something, I don't see it, he would struggle against Peterson, and would lose to Danny, he has zero chance against spence, but I respect the promotional skills of the Garcia Family both robert and their dad wanted no smoke, they knew what time it was, then completely flip the script because they realize they could get the bag with that big ass stadium and the back end ppv, talking that got people actually believing Spence can be out classed and hurt by Mikey its unbelievable lmao

Lucas is retired.

He reminds me of a less chinny Terry Norris. There's more layers to Spence's game than you're giving him credit for. His attack is varied and he only gets hit cause he has more faith in his pressure/power than fear of what's coming back in return. Spence is beatable, but Mikey just isn't the one. The best Mikey can hope for is being the one that exposes Spence in a valiant effort, and leave it to a natural 147 lb fighter (or 154 when Spence eventually makes the jump) to actually complete the mission. The Garcia vs Broner fight tells me everything I need to know about this fight. Garcia could not keep up the pace for a full 12 rounds against a guy that doesn't even let his hands go for real. And to piggyback off of that, Broner stayed the course and actually fought back in the last 1/3 of the fight, which suggests that Garcia really never hit Broner with something to really discourage him from throwing. I just don't see how Garcia will be able to handle the pressure defensively and remain active to fight Spence off of him for every second of every round. He'll mentally fatigue before his skill set fails him though, cause he's a masterful boxer. But constantly being under pressure for every second of every round while knowing you have to be perfect to avoid getting slept is a hard thing to do.

I said he reminded me of Norris 2 years ago (who's probably my favorite fighter all time). He reminds me of him in that he's mean in the ring & has a mean streak. Other than that they're very different fighters. Terry had better legs, faster hands & could easily outbox you from the outside if he wanted. If there are more layers to Spence's game we're yet to see them. That's a fact because no one's brought it out of him yet. He fights one way & he's very good at it like Tito.

And about the AB/Garcia fight, I'm not sure we saw the same things. For 90% of the fight AB kept his hands in his pockets; that's a fact. Why? Because he didn't like the firepower or return fire Mikey had & AB has a great chin. Because if we go by what you said about that fight then there would've been no reason for AB to get washed like that. He had competitive fights against Granados & Jesse Vargas because he knew they couldn't hurt him like that.

And Spence could very well clip Mikey & end his night early or wear him down. But to me this fight might be more difficult than he expected because of Mikey's skills but I favor Spence still

 

[R=G]

Why don't anyone want to give Spence credit for his chin...lol.

Anyhow...buying the tickets today.

That's why I said the last 1/3 of the fight. Coming down the stretch AB let his hands go and even hurt Mikey to the body. If someone was beating you all night with thunderous blows AND you have a reputation for shelling up, then him throwing the way he did in the last 1/3 of the fight suggests that maybe, just maybe, he didn't fear what was coming back. I give Mikey props and I think it'll be a better fight than most think. However, the only times a real small man beat a really big guy when their offensive attributes are on par with each other, is when they have superb defense. Mikey is there to hit. Again, I think he shows well in the fight, but being perfect on defense while trying to halt Spence's offensive onslaught is a tall task for someone who isn't a defensive stalwart.
