Comments Thread For: Spence's Trainer: This Fight is 'Going To Be Hell' For Mikey Garcia

[Dasmius Shinobi]

I know it ain't grammar class I just cringe when ppl still call him mickey. Ok I mean I think spence will be beaten at some point when he moves up in competition. I mean a guy with a broken face moving down 2 weight classes was neck n neck with him until the inevitable happened. I think crawford schools him. I think Thuman beats him, I think Porter can beat him. But I just don't think Garcia comes close because I think about Garcia as about the same level skill wise and talent wise as Spence. So anyway...what are the exploitable holes that YOU see?

Coming forward in straight line, practically not movement of upper body and head, the use of angles are average, average foot work, poor movement in legs, he get hit to much and don't try to block or avoid the shots (poor defense). He is only big with great power and good speed. Also we don't know how Spence react when adversity come, he still not demonstrated how to adjust in his most difficult fight with Kell Brook. Mikey know how to adjust and adapt. He have a chance If he neutralize the power of Spence, limit his punch output, also If he have enough power to make think and reset Spence and use the in and out approach with movement of his upper body and head and thrown his punches in different angles and out point Spence, then he have a chance to win a decision. The problem is Mikey have to fight the perfect fight without little room to error or no error, because Spence can overwhelm and hurt Mikey to finish the fight anytime and prompt Robert Garcia to thrown the towel and stop the fight.

So with Mikey not going to the body against a bigger Easter, you think he will lower his hands for a body attack against a way bigger Spence?

That is depending If Mikey access quickly a opening to thrown a body shot, but I have the feel he not going lower his hands too much. I believe Mikey is going to look for counters shots and maybe in one of those counter shots he thrown a body shot.
