Boxing: Mikey Garcia vs Errol Spence

[btc_angela]

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.

[harizen]

..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.  . 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.
