MIKEY GARCIA TO BE “GARNISHED” AS HE SEEKS AN ERRONEOUS SPIT ON ERROL SPENCE AT A NATURAL 147 POUND EPIC CLASH.
story by Dennis Moore, Editor,boxingghana.com.
Since the ambitious Mexican Mickey Garcia relinquished his IBF Lightweight leather, his immediate focal lense is stuck on American poster boy Errol ” The Truth” Spence, the current IBF Welterweight Champion of the World.
The writer seeks to draw the mental decisions of the outcome of this particular fight. And it is already perceived in anticipation that this fight will be a cliff hanger come next year.
MICKEY GARCIA:
A lot more research from boxingghana has gone into the ring records of this intrepid Mexican pugilist and he is fast injecting his ink plan into boxing hall of famers in the not too distant future especially if he is able to triumph over Spence.
He took an elaborate decision by discarding his IBF belt with no remorse. That is a cogent decision and a character of a boxer who means what he says. He cared less about Richard Commey. He is focused on his next target and that’s it. A brave decision that was and the gauntlet had been thrown into the stable of Errol “The Truth” Spence.
Boxingghana and celebrated pundits in the country played a pivotal role by inking their displeasure at the behaviour of the Mexican few days to the expiry of the contract that had fallen short of Garcia’s signature. Boxingghana maintained Garcia either signed or vacated that premises. And he acted on the latter.
Moving from 135 to 140 pound division is delicate. He knows it. What is his motivation then? Afterall he has accomplished his demolishing mission at lightweight. Of course he has.
He easily killed off the pride mission of Robert Easter with a devastating 12th round thriller. His 5th round knockout on Sergey Lipinet increased his voluminous desire to “erroneously” engage Errol Spence.
I think his move is solid. Life is about taking risks with positive cognitive thoughts. So why not? His move into 147 is all about money and fame. Period.
Garcia began his Pro carrier at 126.Spence has weighed as much as 156 before a fight.
As of May 2018 he is ranked the world’s 5th best pound for pound active boxer. The Ring magazine rates him ahead of Spence in 7th position,with the latter at 9th. ESPN rates him 4th with Spence 5th.
With flat victories over Orlando Solido in 2013, Juan Manuel Lopez via a TKO in 4 also in 2013, Roman Martinez in a brutal 8th round stoppage, Adrien Broner victory, Sergey Lipinet last March and a recent positive campaign victory on Robert Easter Jr, he feels he is riped for that shot on the “The Truth”.
ERROL SPENCE
The fast rising American has indisputably won the hearts of many Americans in the ring. He is a must see athlete- no questions about that. Pundits even rate him far above Terrence Crawford who many think has a boring effect in the ring.
Spence does little talking. His ring countenance is beaming. And he pretends there is no punishment in his gloves.
After impressing at the 2012 Olympics in the welterweights, he has fast risen to the ranks at 147. In fact he could even ascend to 156 soonest but insider sources reveal he is taking it one after the other.
I chanced on the fight he had with Samuel Vargas. And the result was vintage. He dismissed the Mexican inside 3 rounds flat.
Phil Le Greco took same distance punishment.
Chris Van Heerden and Alejandro Barrera suffered same knockout situations. It could be counted on and on.
But my major pick of the packs in his recent demolishing exercises were against then IBF British Welterweight champion of the World Kell Brook.
The world had discovered a pugilist whose character and fearlessness transcends beyond boarders. Spence accepted the purse challenge to travel to England to stop the ex champ in round 11 when the British talkative had to go on his knees to call off his engagement in the ring. And there was a new champion – Errol “The Truth Spence” 24-0-21KOs. Incredible!!!
His latest defenses against Lamont Peterson and Carlos Ocampo would not need any readable attention. He dispatched them off easily.
Boxingghana will be inserting that particular hostility against Kell Brook in this write up. It is a must watch.
Spence’s adoptable lifestyle in the ring is superior. An admirable southpaw who keeps coming and feels secured on the toe to toe.
I can clearly see the semblance of a Manny Pacquio, Miguel Cotto or a Sugar Ray Leonard in the 28 year American native.
He has knocked all his last 12 opponents with Carlos Ocampo as his 11th consecutive stoppage.
Errol “The Truth” Spence is the eye in the welterweight division now and it will take a magical spell to dispose him off at this material moment in time.
He has intimated his desire to harness the pieces of that very division and indirectly referring to the likes Shawn Potter and Danny Garcia. He relishes a close shave “assault” as well on fine boy Keith Thurman who is recovering from his shoulder injuries about a year ago.
EXPECTATIONS:
Well, Richard Commey might have gotten the last bite of the cherry to become a champion again against Isa Chaniev of Russia. But he needs to also stay glued to his television to witness this potential February PPV headliner between Garcia- Spence.
Many pundits including Sugar Ray, Timothy Bradley and Floyd May weather have cautioned the ambitious Mexican to hasten slowly.
Factual as it is, Spence is the bigger being here. He posseses the bigger shots. Garcia needs to visit a strength and conditioning centre to bulk up. Attempting to impress a CV with a 5th weight class title denotes extra tuition. Can he do it?
Boxingghana has firmed up on the virtual analysis of this impending “carbudo”.
Industry sources have pegged this cliff hanger at each man’s initial foray as a mega PPV headliner possibly at the Staples Centre in the Unites States of America next year February.
So after all, Garcia’s decision to relinquish the IBF strap was somehow legitimate. Fame,ambition and fortune are his core points now.
Is it an error or a truthful moment for the witty Mexican?
Boxingghana believes this fight will not see the full distance.
Errol “The Truth” Spence looks solidified and will surely protect his territory. Let the fight roll.
