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

should have been

mikey vs loma

spence vs all the pbc welters that fight once a year

I get the feeling after the Linares fight that Loma team have realised the ceiling on his weight ascension. He's too small at 135.

He needs competition..there is nothing to look forward to when his name is mentioned.

I don't disagree at all. I just feel like he's at his absolute peak weight at 135. Sure he needs competition but he's so susceptible at that weight.

You have to accept the fact that inactivity is part of the boxing game and it isn't going anywhere.

Meanwhile tevin farmer is trying get on the Canelo undercard which would be his 3rd fight in 5 months
Don’t know how the Dazn deals are structured but it seems like it incentives fighter to fight more, even canelo is fighting with a short rest period

On the brightside for Mikey, Spence being 3 inches taller may effect his patented body work

All the Welterweights are straight up p*ssy for ducking Spence

In all, they announced 14 bouts through April that will air on either Fox in prime time or on cable network Fox Sports 1. But the biggest fight made official was the much-discussed showdown between welterweight world titlist Errol Spence Jr. and lightweight titlist Mikey Garcia, who will move up two weight divisions to go for a world title in a fifth division in a meeting between two of boxing's elite pound-for-pound best in the world.

The fight will headline the first Fox PPV card and will take place at AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboys, in Arlington, Texas, on March 16. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is a big boxing fan and has wanted to host another major fight at his stadium, which has played host to three previous boxing events, two headlined by Manny Pacquiao and one by Canelo Alvarez.

"I wanted to get the biggest fight available and make the biggest splash and what better way than to do it on a Fox pay-per-view," Garcia said. "That's why I'm taking it, because it's such a big challenge and that's what I'm about. I want the biggest fight, the biggest challenges. There's no one else out there right now that I can compete with at that level and Spence is the guy, so that's why I'm after him."

Garcia (39-0, 39 KOs) began calling Spence (24-0, 21 KOs) out before he unified lightweight belts in a lopsided win over Robert Easter Jr. in July.

Now, for the first time in his career, Garcia will be an underdog and looking to turn the conventional wisdom of a great big man always beating a great little man on its head.

"That's a common saying but every once in a while you get these exceptions where the smaller man beats the bigger guy and that's what I'm after and what I'm looking forward to," Garcia said. "I really believe in myself. I have great skills that most everybody still hasn't seen. I think Errol Spence will be the one to bring those out of me and allow me to perform at the best of my abilities. I think it's going to be a great fight and this is one of those occasions where the little guy beats the bigger man."

Spence looking kinda bloated must be going hard on them Texas briskets.

Was just watching Spence on live on IG, him and his boys were talking about what kind of women they prefer. Someone in his crew said they don’t like “darkies”. Lot of people were getting at him in the comments.
