Rounds 1-4 pump the jab and left hook to the body
Rounds 5-12 the hands drop to protect the body and then it’s tee off time. Mikey needs to move a lot though. Who has Spence steam rolled that’s not a jobber? Dudes used to jump from 135 to 147

Lol
I just rewatched the Spence v Peterson fight. Spence got a chin brehs. Only chance Mikey got is to get lucky or some judges fukkery and im not trolling. Errol is going to beat the Shyt out of Garcia i hope he in top shape
Care to counter with actual boxing talk? What do you think the plan for Spence will be? Unlike many I got no problem in manning up and admitting I’m wrong. So what exactly is Spence going to do besides apply pressure and body shots? What do you think his game plan is? You’ve quoted me multiple times in this thread, but never with analysis. So let’s see what ya got playaTee off time? For Mikey? On Spence? Ok
Bro I mean with the most offense possoble.
You said multiple times Spence would have a shot at, and could beat Canelo. So just as I asked @Champ_KW care to use actual boxing talk? Like how do you think the 9 months off will affect Spence? Or his last 5 wins go by the names of; Brook (good win), Ocampo, washed Lamont Peterson, Bundu, and Algieri. Or, the fact Mikey stay in the gym and has been training with Conte, and his dad for 7 months? Why don’t y’all use boxing talk? Ironically the only who has is @Master Teacher who also correctly identified the Garcia punch will be the left hook. Anyway drop some boxing talk with me or don’t respond.
I want Mikey to prove he hurt Spence..how about that? Spence got a good chin but what is Mikey gonna do during the exchanges? Spence is relentless ..he cuts the ring off..Mikey is good at everything but he's not gonna be hitting that 1-2 special on Spence consistently like he did with Easter and Lipinets..if Lipnets had him kind of frowning up from body shots, how will he react to Spence then? This fight is about Mikey proving he can stop a very motivated Spence that has adapted over and over again and who has 11 str8 Knockouts.
And be careful with that slick shyt..because I'll school everyday or even every hour on your favorite fighters. I dont Cate what anyone Claims is boxing talk..the results are what matters. Technically, Mikey better show he can take punishment.
I’ve never seen you drop knowledge like that so you must be hiding it breh
Mikey’s gonna go the body with the left hook during the exchanges, pivot out to the left then hit an uppercut or straight right. Spence does cut off the ring but he shuffles his feet unless he’s punching, which will leave him open to losing footwork games. Also, body punchers don’t like body punches. Mikey isn’t traditional Mexican body puncher but he has power in both hands and the ability to put massive torque on his shots from short distance. So, when Spence gets him against the ropes, be assured Mikey will be setting up a counter in between Spence’s punches. Also, Spence doesn’t combo punch until he knows nothing is coming back, then he adds the straight punch, and then eventually the hook. If Mikey can stick the jab effectively early it will throw Errol’s timing all off. At the end of the day it’s an amazing smaller fighter, vs a good bigger fight. Skills pay the bills
Your mindset is that his skills and traps will work on Spence. I dont think Spence has showed his whole hand yet. He has a style that has worked so far..sometimes he takes to give back in exchanges. Even at that point, I think Mikey will be in trouble. If Mikey had reach and more speed? Sure..he could humilate Spence but he doesnt.I’ve never seen you drop knowledge like that so you must be hiding it breh

Mikey sticking the jab on Spence to keep him at bay? Gotta see it to believe it. Sounds good in theory but this guys spars heavyweights. Lol. Pivot from that 1-2 but he likely eats a body shot for that. Skills pay the Bills but Mikey might just be a teardrop in the ocean.
Do you know how overmatched/overwhelmed someone has to be to get "tee'd off" on? And you called it starting in the 5th round too. That's some Floyd Mayweather type shyt. You honestly think Mikey, being 5'6" with a 68" reach, is gonna neutralize Spence within 4 rounds with a jab
? You think Mikey is gonna strip Spence of all his options by the 5th round and have Spence stuck in mud getting "tee'd off" on 
?? His best bet is to try and time Spence's jab and shoot a straight right. That's the only punch in his arsenal that would have success over and over again. But thinking he is gonna pump the jab and bewilder Spence with just that is foolish. You also have to get close and be brave to work the body. And regardless of how skilled you think Mikey is, he's gonna have to eat something in return to even get close to the body to do work. I'm on record here numerous times saying the fight will be more competitive than most think. But the "tee off time" starting in the 5th just sounds like either uneducated fan talk, or simply Stan talk. If you think using over exaggerated foot work and pivoting will work, then you really are more clueless than you lead on. The one thing we haven't found out about Spence is if he can fight going backwards. His high guard and just covering up when flurried on leads me to believe he has issues fighting backing up. So unless Mikey, at 152lbs fight night, plans on pushing Spence around and backing him up, then he really has no shot. All that extra dancing and running you described Mikey doing that will cause Spence to "lose footwork games" gone eventually get Mikey killed. All you have to do is watch the Algieri fight and see that exaggerated footwork and pivoting strategy only works for so long before you have to sit down and actually fight this dude off of you. You want/expect Mikey to run his own gas tank empty AND absorb the punishment from Spence on his way to a 12 round decision where he started "tee'ing off" on Spence in the 5th round? You're clearly rooting for Mikey, which is cool, but no amount of educated boxing talk will get you to look at this fight objectively.

You can tell the fight is coming close because emotions are running high in here 
This fight officially has both sides on edge. When the fight was made most people just accepted that spence was gonna destroy mikey. Now people are starting to have doubts
......not just stans but legit boxing people.
I think the whole boxing world knows this is a special matchup. It's almost not even worth debating cause none of their previous fights can compare to this shyt. They're both gonna be in uncharted territories. Mikey dealing with a huge terminator type muthafukker that never stops. And spence dealing with a boxing mastermind. fukk all the size talk. This is a legit matchup. The perfect yin yang. And Errol Spence deserves full credit if he knocks mikey the fukk out. Cause mikey is good enough to not let that happen. If Spence gets the knockout he's gonna have to earn it. There's not a single outcome that'll shock me in this one. Even a mikey KO. Or a spence 12 round boxing domination. Cause both of these guys are that good. Anything can happen.

I appreciate the honest response. But I said Mikey would gain Errol’s respect with the hook to the body, and use the jab. When I say tee off time, I mean that if things go how I expect, Errol will drop out of the high guard leaving his hands low, thus leaving him more open to left hooks to the head, followed by a straight right. All that being said, yes Mikey will have to take punishment, and there’s a better chance Spence wins the fight. However, Mikeys been a pro boxer for what 10 years? We’ve seen all his flaws....and all we have for Spence is that he cuts off the ring with good body shots. Spence has never been in with the caliber of fighter as Mikey, nobody remotely close. Algieri may have used footwork against Spence....but he’s a Chris Algieri. An ESPN boxer that got a shot against Manny and somehow got all these fights. Mikey is top 6 p4p at worst, and has dealt with almost every style in the ring. It should be a great fight.Do you know how overmatched/overwhelmed someone has to be to get "tee'd off" on?

The reach and size difference is too great for Mikey to play back foot boxer and win on the outside. If he was a Loma/Pac type of boxer that had crazy footwork and can dart in an out with all types of angles, then yeah that strategy would have potential. Mikey don't fight like that and will be clipped in transition if he tried that.
His best bet is to stay close within mid range so he can get off his shots and work the inside when Spence tries to muscle him. Play matador with the pivots and movement, but no Freitas/Cotto type of moving cuz that will just burn you out.
Damn I can't wait for this fight.

I fully expect Mikey to do this where he keeps turning Spence. Spence needs his feet set to get his shots (power shots) off & if Mikey pivots & turns him he can offset some of his offense while landing his own shots

i dont know why..this fight ain't it to me
i see a GGG-Brook situation happening..they both could be fighting comp in their own division and the undercard is terrible
for me i guess its good to have a card that im not invested it..ill be at theater faded doing my thing
