Man listen
When a fighter moves up, because they "see" something and have a high skill level, I tend to take them seriously. Garcia targeted Spence for a specific reason and really thought it out for well over a year. However, despite the flaws that Mikey sees in Spence's game`, I still think Spence should take care of business here.
I expect a really predictable outcome. I'm seeing a lot of people liking Mikey's chances as the fight got closer, but when the fight ends, the consensus is going to be like "it went like we expected." These fans that picked Mikey will disappear and then when this same fight is talked about years later, it will be as if no one thought Mikey would win.
This is a really big platform here for Spence to showcase his talent. If he wins impressively, it will take him to another level. He lives in Dallas, which is a very big market. He has the fight style. He looks the part of a champion. If he does what he's suppose to do, he becomes the number 2 draw in the WW division behind Pacquaio imo.

I wanna believe Mikey can do something here, but his arms too short to box with God.
Spence gonna pull out the MPC and make some beautiful beats.
Peterson is imo one of the toughest fighters of the last 25 years. He made him mince meat.

Tough is relative but Spence went 7 with Peterson...Lucas did what he did in only 3 rounds.
That was at 140, Peterson is huge at 147 can take more shots not to mention spence was going easy on them because they are friends
I mean Danny pieced up matthysee at 140 and got a gift decision against peterson at 147
Breh, you're probably the last capo of the Matthysse Mafia. Everybody else left

I still can't get that hyped for this, the hype seems very forced to me. Like, many people who first thought Spence gonna win because his size and etc... slowly convinced themselves that Mikey has a good chance of an upset mostly because that's what they want to see and it's easier to believe what you want to believe. No problem with that though it's just that I'm not effected by the hype, I still think what I first thought. After some competitive early rounds Spence will stop Mikey by round 7-9.
As for who I'm rooting for I'm neutral here.

Bread's official breakdown of the fight:
My breakdown is both guys will come out probing with their lead hands. I think both will try to establish jabs but the jabs could offset each other’s. I am curious as to how Mikey will overcome Errol’s jab. Errol has one of the 5 best jabs in boxing. It’s a sledgehammer and it’s accurate and disruptive.
Mikey will look for a counter right hand. If Mikey lands this shot within the first 2 rounds Spence’s night will be tougher. The reason being is when elite boxer punchers can land a power counter shot early, it usually allows them to catch their rhythm. Look for Mikey to try to land a clean counter early.
I believe Mikey will compete on even terms in the 1st half of the fight as far as points are concerned. The issue is attrition. Errol is a SOB when it comes down to attrition. He never stops digging brutal body shots in. Mikey has short arms that don’t come down over his trunk line so look for Spence to get through to that body.
Mikey will have to really make Errol pay when he goes to the body. If he doesn’t he’s in trouble. Errol shovels his left hand through the inside of the guard and it hits either the liver or solar plexus. Then he brings the right hook around to the flank which really sucks the wind out of you. The gift that Errol has is you can’t rest with him. Mikey has to keep the fight in the center of the ring and really crack Errol to stop the bulldozing.
I think Mikey will visibly buzz Errol and the more Errol lays back and boxes the more Mikey will get off. But at some point Errol will start to try to be the savage he really is. And he will attack Mikey. I think Mikey will raise his game and give Errol all he wants but there is a huge physicality difference in the two.
At some point I think Mikey’s nose will start to show serious damage. See the Salido and Broner fights. Errol will keep going, keep digging and keep chopping away. In a brutal slugfest I think Mikey will finally capitulate between rounds 9-11. I think we will see a tremendous fight. Both of these dudes have that look in their eye. Expect blood, lumps, bruises, knockdowns and high drama. Let’s hope the officials and announcers get everything right also. This fight sells itself and boxing doesn’t need any more bad calls or false narratives.

I don’t get your point? You saying Lucas tougher than Peterson or you saying Spence is a bully?
Either way I believe Mikey is gonna get rocked early. Body. Heard it here first.
Will Spence knock him out or what and by what round??
