I give credit to Garcia for stepping up and having the balls to take this fight like a man, kudos. The hell I predict Spence will put him through, is a different story. It won't be a walk in the park for Garcia and better have done some ab work for the body-punch treatment Spence will treat him through...
Crawford asked for the Spence fight. Tim Shaw and Derrick James said Spence isn't ready, will try to age Crawford out of his prime. There is always someone at weight willing to fight. Gamboa/Crawford, Khan/Canelo, Rigo/Loma and Brook/GGGimmick have already moved up 2 weight classes. Mikey isn't doing anything we haven't seen. No way in hell with his resume Mikey is the 2nd coming of FMW Jr or Roberto Duran (BTW he had several 147 fights before he fought Leonard) moving from 135-147
Robert Garica will need that white towel to clean Mikey's rear end from the body shots.
I like both guys and think Garcia is the better schooled boxer. That said, Mikey’s ideal weight is probably 135, while Spence is a big WW and probably ideal at 154. I don’t see how Mikey overcomes the reach advantage Spence has. Spence is also a vicious body puncher and will hit Mikey far harder than he’s ever been hit. I think Garcia does well early, but Spence breaks him down and stops him in the later rounds.
Spence is slightly smaller than Lara, Trout and Lubin who are considered small 154s when compared to Charlos, Hurd, Harrison, etc. It's not his fault this generation of welterweights are all 5'7 and under.
