    Salido was breaking Mikey down, imagine what Spence would do.

    Mikey can outbox Spence for a few rounds as he’s the better boxer
    Mikey fought well at 140 vs Lipinets who is a good fighter
    Spence size power and pressure will overcome the skill gap
    Spence TKO8

    Even featherweight Mikey would be the 2nd hardest puncher Errol Spence has ever fought. Let that sink in

    Garcia can win a fixed fight with Spence.

    The law of averages would suggest so given how common glass mandibles are across the pond

    I think Garcia can pull it off but he has to not lose focus for even a single moment in the fight. I actually think Loma is a more difficult style for Mikey than Spence but Errol has the proverbial eraser.

    I'll go out on a limb and say the fight goes the distance with a competitive decision going to Spence Jr.

    See Monzon vs Napoles. (Angie Dundee thought Napoles had everything to beat Monzon, until Monzon's beatdown of Jose began).

    Spence is a southpaw, very big WW, who will be a big JrMW at fight-time. Mikey is a Jr. WW at best.

    Spence 5' 9-1/2", 70" reach
    MGarcia 5' 6", 68" reach

    I've always been super high on Errol. Called him the best WW long before he proved it in the ring and picked him over Brook who I am also high on. That said, Mikey has a much, much better chance here than given credit for (I think only Crawford fares better at 147). Style wise, Errol's footwork is his downfall, he will plod forward and collapse the distance, but Mikey is great at mid range and can jab , right hand and pivot to the side. Style wise, it's a good match up for Mikey and if they were the same size I'd definitely pick him to win (He's more skilled than Errol p4p). I think Mikey vs Crawford is a horrible match up for Mikey, though.
