I don't think that Mikey Garcia though could get a win here. He is not a natural 147 lbs and Spence is on a different league. I'm expecting Spence to win a UD and give Garcia his first career loss. Please take note that Spence name has been throw as well in the Manny sweepstakes so it's gonna be exciting to see this fight as well.

What are your thoughts about the fight?

I think increasing the weight isn't the reason for the losing of the fighter it's depend of their Dedications and capabilities with big brave heart How to get victory. I will watch this exciting event this march.

Well I really think Mikey Garcia is getting a big break of a fight over Errol Spence and I think after getting a hop in the division he is already pursuing big and would really giving his fans a fight of a lifetime Maybe Errol Spence can be an odd to him because of the experience and a career that he has surely had the determination in not losing this fight and Spence had a long reach over Mikey Garcia that is why this will be a complicated fight for Garcia, But we can not say for sure on what can be the outcome on the bout,

That is why my Bet will be on Spence Because he got a big advantage over Garcia.

Yes, however, if you're talking about Manny Pacquiao, well he has rose in ranks and fight bigger guys, but Manny is a freak of nature. Just look at Nonito Donaire, he try to emulate Manny, move up in weight and challenge Walters, for the featherweight title and lost.

@YuginKadoya - yes, definitely Garcia has a shot of winning, but Errol Spence is the natural 147 lbs so it means he has more power against Garcia who's going to really push his body to meet the required limit, although he doesn't need to drain his body, but most of the time, fighters who are moving up in weight will have a lot of disadvantage.

Garcia is just an over hype fighter for me. Don't get me wrong, but some of this fights, I'm not totally sold on him.

Spence will be too much for Mikey, and Errol is already peaking at this point, so it will be a difficult task for Mikey to even touch him. I'm not seeing the fight going to distance, probably 10 rounds and that's it. Sorry for all Mikey Garcia fans out there.

I think a fight is equal to an exam , it takes preparation , training and dedication. The one fighter which takes the fight more seriously should be a favourite.

I think though that in a boxing match the stamina, the resistence is also a key point to decide the winner. Who can resist more without KO he can fight back and win the game.

At the end of the day, it still boils down as to who really wanted to win, and the fighter who has a big heart usually takes it. Here's a video of greatest hits of Errol Spence,

He is also a good body puncher as well.

Pacquiao is really a good example of moving up in weight. I believe it is his pure dedication and rigid training that made him successful in those fights.

It is exciting to watch these 2. We will see what their training and willpower will be inside the ring.

They are both great fighters, no doubt about that. But since Mikey is the one who adapt on Errol's world (welterweight divison) then this might be a major disadvantage for him. But well, I'm sure that Mikey's team will not come up into moving up weight class if they knew that he is not comfortable with it in the first place so I don't worry too much. I just wish that he can make the required preparation for this because if a small weight increase can already affect your speed and stamina, what more if you change yout weight class.

To be honest, this is an exciting fight ;D.  They both have a clean record but one will be tarnished after their fight. This time, I'll go for Spence Jr. because for me he is a very aggressive fighter which is very obvious in his record (24 W - 21 KOs)

Betting line here from Nitrogen sports and Sportbets.io - I would go for Garcia, I like the odds, looking for an upset in this fight.

Oh thanks. Yeah, probably would love to go with Garcia because of the good odds.  ;D

@Twinkledoe - Yes, as I have said, Manny Pacquiao shows us how can someone moved up in weight and be successful, but not everyone can do it.

For me, Mikey's best weight is around 130 lbs - 140 lbs, he is like a ballooned in 147 lbs that might affect his performance in the latter round.

@NavI_027 - Someone's 0 will be gone, that's for sure. ;D

We have better odds at Nitrogenspors.eu

cheer!

Notable wins for Garcia are, Broner, Roman Martinez, Juan Ma Lopez. Tough Oscar Salido was a technical draw.

While for Spence, Kell Brook, Lamont Peterson and Chris Algieri.

So in paper this looks like a equal fight, however, Spence is the champion and has the tougher resume in my opinion. So I think I favored Spence here, Garcia will be having trouble with Spence's reach and if he decided to go inside because that's how he fight, Spence will counter his all day.

You have to watch Garcia vs Broner. If I'm not mistaken, it was the first time the Mikey went up in weight (140 lbs). If you will look closely, his shots against Broner doesn't have that popped, maybe because of Broner tough chin or perhaps fighters going up in weight usually loses the strength of their fist. Broner did hurt Garcia multiple times in that fight, but the problem is that he didn't throw enough punches, (like what he did against Pacquiao), but imagine if that is Spence, a natural 147 lbs, he can really knock down Garcia with that kind of punches.

Judging from the betting lines from the sport betting providers looks like it Errol Spence is the big favourite but I think you can't trust that much the odds here as no one of us knows the real physical condition of the boxers the day.

I have also have some bad experiences with the 1.2 odd so I will bet on some handicap lines if these are available in a boxing event.

It is indeed that Mikey Garcia is a great fighter with an undefeated record but jumping into two weight division will take a toll in his performance. I think it would be a Spence UD win over Garcia this time because of the preparation difference between the two fighters. Garcia will go through a hell of a training to get the fight he used to while Spence will just do the conditioning and maintaining his weight until the fight night.

Here's a few video to spice up the fight.

Who's pumped for this fight? Less than two weeks from now we will gonna see who is the best. There was also a video that Spence is looking to face Manny after this fight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iQkbdO7lig).

There's no way that Mikey can upset Spence here. Yes, he is a great champ but I would say that he is that not on the same level as Spence. The only advantage that Mikey has is that he has a good trainer in his brother we really guided his career up to this point. But this is a bad matchup for him and yes Spence with a UD or even a KO.

Ok, so as expected, Errol Spence won the fight and it was a one sided decision.

But what's intriguing is Pacquiao is there to watch the fight and even went inside the ring and have something to say  ;D


Are we expecting for a Pacquiao-Spence fight next? Will it be the changing of the guards? Spence is now regarding as #1 pound for pound and we all know that Pacquiao used to hold that 'titles' year ago. What do you guys think?

Both move to slow compared to Manny Pacquiao, Pacquiao on his prime will easily beat these two guys, but Manny can still beat Spence at this point of time I don't see anything special on Spence so if they face it will be a win for Manny Pacquiao.

The only advantage Spence got from Pacquiao is speed and reach advantage, However, we know Pacquiao fought bigger guys in his prime so I think he will not have a problem dealing with that disadvantage. It will be a good match, and I'm seeing Pacquiao able to squeeze in and get a win if ever he fight Spence in the future.

Boring fight, I watched it and I must say that Garcia does not belong to that division, he is too small, and too freaking slow and he should go down to 135-140 lbs. It was a mismatch actually, reminds me of Floyd vs Marquez, wherein Floyd just pot-shoting Marquez.

In this case, jab-jab and then those looping right left, sort of a left hook and then jab on the body. And when he goes inside to cut the length, Errol did more than damage. Mickey has a good round in round 5, but not enough though as Spence is too slick and too intelligent. Robert should have stopped it around round 10, imho as this is a boxing clinic showed by Spence.

Yes, it would be intriguing to see Pacquiao vs Spence, next.

I do not like to watch boxing very much mostly because I like more so UFC but I found a link for this fight and it was a good one indeed.

If you look at Pacquiao's last two fights you can see that he can outlast these young and fresh fighters so if the fight push through Pacquiao can push Spence to the limit, I just hope he will not do Horn's kind of fighting.

Talking about Pacquiao against Spence, I would still bet on the old and reliable fighter which demolished young and aspiring fighters. I know Spence is a good fighter but he is still not capable of defeating the Pacman.

I beg to disagree with the speed advantage. Pacquaio still possesses the quick hands and feet that we all know of it. So I gave Pacquiao the advantage on that category. But I agree that Spence being tall, his record shows 5-9 (some put him 5-10), but as you have said Pacquaio has so much experience fighting taller guys that height is not a problem, case in point Margarito and Oscar dela Hoya or Algieri.


I agree that it was somewhat boring and that Robert Garcia should has stepped up and call the fight to a stop in round 10, he is right, his little brother is taking so much punishment, no need to go to another two rounds because at that point, he already loss the fight. Mikey should really go down and try to clean the division on 135 lbs, that alone could be a accomplishment. No need to go up in weight, those guys are really big at 147 and punches too hard also.

@coin-investor, Ranly123 - Yes, Pacquaio has a chance of beating Spence even if he is old. One advantage is experience for Manny, at 40 he can still go and brawl with those young champions we have at 147 lbs division.

You said it right, Pacquiao type of fighting can still defeat younger champs, maturity and flexibility will do the job done much better, if this fight will
materialized, it's another exciting game for Pacquiao to watch out, though we are still waiting for Floyd vs Manny  rematch but this one is also good
and entertaining to watch out.

It was a disaster for Pacquiao to fight Horn. I mean he really won that fight, but it was a home town decision. Yes, as I have said, Pacquiao will able to pull through specially if the fight goes to distance if ever the two faces this year. Spence might be having a hard time making 147 lbs again as he is really too big for that weight limit.

Pacman can still pull that trigger bro and IMO, Spence is far behind Pacman during his peak years. Even now that Pacquiao is 40 years old, he still quicker than ordinary boxers and can knock out opponents with that left straight. If Pacman vs  Spence will push through, my money will be on the veteran fighter from the Philippines bro.

Prior before the fight, I watched some of Mikey's past fights and I am impressed but was surprised that he fell very short on everyone's expectations Spence schooled him, there was no answer on Spence attack, but not yet the end of Mikey's career, he is still one of the best Mexican boxers in this era.

Yes, it will be a good fight if Pacquaio's schedule will allow him to fight this year again, Spence said he is willing to do so, most probably just a matter of time and money in the table for this two fighters, one a legend and the other a upcoming star, so it will be entertaining. However, Pacquaio's priority is still Floyd Mayweather Jr. But what Floyd see during the Broner fight, he may not give Pacquaio the rematch.

It's not a question whether Pacquiao can pull the trigger, because he can still put a hurt on those young boxers we have right now. The question is whether their chin can hold when Pacquiao hits them.

Spence chin hasn't been tested because his previous opponents hasn't hit him that hard. But if ever he fights Pacquiao if will different, he hasn't fought anything like Manny, the experience, the footwork and of course those quick hands. So I'm sure Manny will be the betting favorite again, if this fight push through.

Ofcourse the age also is advantage of spence from Manny Pacquiao

But just today Manny’s camp release a statement that still Mayweather is on the first on the list that Manny wanted to have in the ring

But there is spence or garcia that in the option whenever Mayweather declines the invitation

I also heard in the news that he really wanted Mayweather, Manny is not getting any younger he wants to make a grand exit and that is to beat Mayweather, he only has few fights left maybe 2 more fights and he can fight once or twice a year because of his being a Senator so let's hope it will happen.

Not because of being a Senator.

That 2 or let's say 3 more fights is the maximum numbers given by his team.

Back to Spence, I found it disrespectful calling a fight on a Big Name Legend that is closed to retirement while he is on peak.

He just let instead those "individuals" around him makes an attention to Manny for him to be the priority as the legend's next opponent.

I agree. Spence said that he will give Pacquaio the retirement money he needed, LOL. We all know what happened to guys who trash-talked Manny.  ;D. I'm sure 60%-70%, we will gonna see this fight next, it's more competitive and Spence will be on a rude awakening and will regret everything he says against Manny.
