Predictions For Spence vs Garcia ??

I agree
I personally feel loma and linares chose the easier opponent.

 

I’ll take Mikey over anybody at welter other then Crawford, Spence, and pac. If Mikey beats Spence then clearly he and Crawford are the best two welters in my opinion.

 

Garcia will win, I reckon by decision.

 

Garcia turned down the Linares fight in search of other options. Mikey has been wanting to make a statement win and at first he was after a Cotto fight (which he got offered and then Robert Garcia vetoed), and now he got the Spence fight.

Garcia vs Lomachenko has never been seriously discussed yet due to promotional difficulties. In theory Garcia still has this fight anyway even if he loses to Spence, and thus it makes sense to try that first. Besides Mikey is probably thinking that a win over Lomachenmo would look less impressive than going up two divisions and beating Spence; and he actually thinks he can win (although I think Spence is too good and too big) .

 

I won't count Mikey out. I'll let the ref do that.

 

I want Mikey Garcia vs Terence Crawford. That's the fight I've wanted for a long time for Garcia.

A fight against Lomachenko would've been nice as well, but it was clear Garcia would be moving up at some point prior to that match-up becoming a reality. With Bud, there's no such weight discrepancy hindering the fight being made.

 

My honest feel for this interesting fight is Mikey will be competitive first half of the fight, but in the second half gets worn down by Errol's size and body work, and gets beat up to lose a UD. Think about Garcia's fight with Sergei Lipinets. A southpaw who tagged Mikey thru out the fight and marked Mikey up pretty good. Now move up a whole weight class and fight arguably the best welter today. Mikey has a huge mountain to climb March 16

 

You guys are kidding yourselves.

You'll all be quite disappointed. This is purely about avoiding an embarassing boxing lesson from a smaller man in Vasily Lomachenko. They are whitewashing this with "street cred" of fighting a bad ass in Spence.

This will not be a fight, it will be a sacrifice.

Robert Garcia fed Margarito to the dogs and let the man lose an eye. No such bloodletting will happen here. Robert is throwing in the towel at the first hint of the beating commencing.

Towel will be in before the 5th round. Very disappointing fight.

 

You really DKSAB, bro. If you did, you'd have seen how Lipinets (an unheralded fighter) managed to rearrange Mikey's nose and have him looking like he survived a car crash. You don't think Spence does better than Lipinets?

 

I absolutely agree. And I can totally see Mikey leading the cards for 6 or 7 rounds. But I just don't think he can manage that extra weight long enough and I think that somewhere around Rds 8-12 - Spence Jr is going to be able to bomb him out of there.

I'd be happy if Mikey proves me wrong.

 

That's a bit of an exaggeration - Mikey was bleeding from the nose - but Lipinets didn't break it.

But, yeah, 140 was a stretch for Mikey and 147 is too far.

He probably did. Mikey's nose shifted 5 inches to the left.
