    I commend Mikey for calling out Spence but Spence is just too much. Spence has way too much dog in him and Mikey just isn't big enough. Mikey is an excellent counter puncher but Spence is an animal.

    Mikey was getting outjabbed by a bigger fighter who was just good

    Spence is a great fighter who is bigger and a southpaw.

    I commend Mikey's bravery but Spence should be favored in this bout

    Spence will probably be a 3-1 favorite.

    lol...no it won't. No handicapper would handicap that fight like that. They want people to bet.

    Easter is rangier than Spence. He was getting outjabbed but once he got Easter's rhythm he found ways inside and took over the fight.

    Nah, there's been a lot of fighters without a six pack who could take a good body punchh. This isn't body building this is boxing. Size is the only thing going against him in that potential fight.

    I promise you, Spence is going to destroy him to the body. It will be a body shot KO.

    If Spence was a 50-1 favorite going into the fight, who is going to bet on that nonsense, knowing what we know? If you think Mikey is going to win this fight you are high as a kite.

    At 50-1 odds I'd take that risk. Why wouldn't I? Mikey is a p4p fighter in his prime and has the goods. Youre high if you think Mikey has no chance.

    That's wide but wouldn't surprise me. I see a competitive UD for Spence

    But there's a big power differential and Spence has a much more varied attack.

    It's easier to time your opponent's jab... when that's all he's throwing.
