Comments Thread For: Garcia: I'm A Better Fighter; All Spence Has Is Height, Weight!

[Lopez_Boxing]

I think Mikey has this, not because of his confidence but because of his boxing ability.

As I have said before, Brook was out boxing Spence before he started to slow down, then Spence was catching him more and more and took over.

Mikey has better footwork than Brook and I don't see him slowing down the same way

so are you saying Mikey is going to run the whole time? you don't think he will tire or slow with the extra weight?

It's hands down that Mikey Garcia is the better fighter. In addition, he is technically, scientifically and the more fundamentally sound one too.

What Spence has to do is to target Mikey's body and midsection; Which is his greatest attribute. It will not only help slow Garcia down but will disrupt his timing and rhythm in the process also.

If Spence can't handicap Garcia's legs by cutting off the ring, then he will probably lose not just on points but also possibly by knockout. So what Erroll needs to do is to target the body in hopes of hurting Mikey and wearing him down.

When that happens the fight would occur in a virtual phone booth where Spence imposes his size, strength and will on the much smaller man.

Then it will be a wash; However, if not then Mikey wins by a blowout because he is naturally lighter, faster, quicker and the overall better fighter than Erroll Spence.

Brook started slowing down because of the early body work that Spence was putting in. I like Mikey a lot and he could possibly surprise me, but I just don't see him being able to withstand that constant pressure and body work from a bigger, stronger guy and let's not forget the sparring sessions with Mayweather who is definitely faster and quicker than Mikey who Spence was able to put hands on as well.

This just happens one in a long while !! Better pay attention because if Mikey pulls this off and you miss it then ......

Nope, not run I think he will be in and out of the pocket. He wont be backing up the whole time. Mikey has a good gauge of distance.

He will tire like any other fighter but he wont be nearly as static as Brook was for example.

Part of the reason but not the only one, as you know Brook finds making weight notoriously difficult and I think the weight cut drained him, he's also known for taking rounds off (he doesnt have the best engine).

Spence was sparring an old Mayweather and I wouldn't put much thought into those sparring sessions.

Mikey is aiming to be FOTD. He should learn to ride his bike very well. Remember Pacman v Margarito at 150 pounds catch weight in 2010. That's the only time Pacman rode a bike in a boxing ring.

Respect to mikey for daring to be great. He's putting all those pbc welterweights to shame.
But Spence is gonna get him down the stretch.
