RAUL MARQUEZ (FORMER WORLD CHAMPION/COMMENTATOR): SPENCE UD
“Very curious to see how Spence is going to come back after a life-threatening car accident plus over one-year layoff. Spence is an intelligent pressure fighter, one of the game’s best inside fighters, brutally attacks the body and is a combination puncher that can sit in the pocket and go toe to toe with you. His trainer Derrick [James] tells me his looking great, but we won’t know until he gets hit on the chin. First four rounds will tell us a lot. Garcia has the experience, a lot of championship rounds with high-caliber boxers. His natural instincts are to be a counterpuncher. He’s a sneaky underdog and always finds a way to win in past fights. If Spence is at 50-percent of what he was prior to the car accident I still pick him to win by unanimous decision.”
SERGIO MORA (FORMER WORLD CHAMPION/COMMENTATOR): SPENCE PTS
“We don’t know how Spence is going to react when he gets hit, but Garcia is not an active pressure-puncher, he’s more a power counterpuncher. I see Spence fighting disciplined behind the jab and putting rounds in bank. Spence by decision. ”
