Smith has no chance in that fight.
He took a lot of clean/sick shots and his face was badly bruised by the end. But was not a totally one-sided beating.
Lol. You know who Lara is, don't you? He is fighting an up and coming Argentine who beat Spence in the amateurs.
Thought Cherry was gonna be on the card. But guess not.
I'll be watching. There are fights on DAZN too, apparently. But never heard of the guys. On the Showtime card, as you know, Ortiz is also fighting.
Didn't he fight once more after that? Against Calvo or something?
But without knowing it, it is hard to say it's a bad move. Presumably, it is much more than he could've made facing a guy he'd be favored to beat.
Do you know how much Garcia is making for this fight?
One thing is, if you watch Spence/Peterson, Spence does a really good job breaking through Peterson's tight guard.
Knocked down by Augie Sanchez. Pretty funny.
Who would win between Pedroza and Arguello?
I agree. And I think it was usually a pretty effective tactic. The interesting thing is, seemed like Barrera was wise to it.
Naseem was particularly devastating against fellow elves.
Does anyone think Hamed "pretended" to be hurt? And did so in order to lure his opponent in?
Lipinets was badly beaten up in that fight.
That's boxing. And as much as his stock could drop from losing to Spence, it would drop even more if he lost to a guy in his own division. And if...
Yes. But then he's one good win away from being back in the bunch. Thing is, it's not like the Loma et al fights are without risk.
I think the last part is the bottom line. Robert Garcia is not going to allow his brother to take the kind of beating that Brook did. Plus, Garcia...
Any matchups from history that are similar you think?
We'll see. He showed good power at 140. I wouldn't totally discount his ability to check that chin at 147.
First, he has a lot more to lose against guys like that. He loses to Spence - no big deal. He loses to Khan? Kind of a disaster. Second, anything...
No. More like, I want a super-fight worthy of PPV. But Loma is off the table. How about Spence?
Only thing is, Spence is no defensive wizard. And Garcia is a sharp-shooter.
It makes perfect sense if you consider the reasons he won't make the other fights and realize those reasons don't apply when it comes to Spence....
Anyone think of comparable matchups from the past? Was thinking Mayweather/JMM but that was even less compelling imo, give that JMM was a career...
Degale got that bogus draw against Jack and probably figured he could stink out another.
Wonder why wild at heart was not discussed in the interview.
Guy is not stable. Also, hasn't he had financial trouble despite all his earnings?

Adaptation was good.
