    What happens when Mikey's adversary is willing to walk through fire to land his own punches- a dogfight ?

    Will he retreat or stand his ground ?

    Or will he just fold under pressure and quit once the first hard punches find his chin ?

    Mickey...Román? I think he can handle a dogfight with Ramiro Blanco should it come down to it.

    Why would Mickey Román challenge Thurman? :thinking: He's a super featherweight.

    Roy (aka Roid) was always up for one.

    Mikey never struck me as the kind of fighter relishing a firefight.

    I have serious doubts about him overcoming heavy incoming fire.

    He won't have to be, Spence will never get close enough to turn it into a dogfight.

    Spence will put pressure on him from the outside, like he does for all his opponents, and if Mikey tries to get inside and overcome his smaller reach, he will be met with punches.

    Pressure doesn't mean **** if you can't land a clean punch.

    Spence will always find Garcia's body.

    I think you guys are confused. Mickey Román isn't fighting Errol Spence, he's fighting Ramiro Blanco.

    edit: okay, got you to fix it, good. :sisi1

    but you are aware that spences whole fighting style relies on inside body punching, right. that if he was to look for a fight on the outside, it would be his first time doing it and uncharacteristic of his fighting style, right? why would spence change his boxing style for the biggest fight of his career?

    Spence fights tall.
    His power is at the end of his shots: he doesn't need to get inside to break people down.
    That's why it's such a bad match-up for Mikey.
