I have never rated Danny Garcia since he got bashed up and landed that lucky shot against Amir Khan. Garcia has strategically fought his way up the rankings at welterweight and lost the big fights when he had his chance.
Spence should win this relatively easy, the real interest is seeing what the car accident has taken out of Errol if anything.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I just hope if both guys bring their A-game..... that whoever wins gets the credit they deserve. Spence wouldn't be coming back to face a Garcia if he didn't feel (and his team) that he was 100%.
This is a tough 1st fight back for Spence after his accident. If he is less than 100% back Garcia could spring an upset. Spence controls distance very well and I'm not sure Garcia has the speed to land his counters against Spence.
They live, We sleep
Errol Spence Jr is back in the ring next month against hard-hitting Danny Garcia with his world welterweight titles up for grabs.
Fighting out of Dallas, Texas, ‘The Truth’ will be fighting at the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
The 31-year-old survived a horrific car accident just over a year ago, incredibly walking away with minor injuries.
The accident occurred just weeks after arguably the biggest win of his career in a points victory over Shawn Porter, which ensured he unified the belts at 147 belts.
Now back in the ring, he takes on Danny Garcia, who previously knocked out Amir Khan, in a tough fight to set up the potential for mega fights in 2021 against Terence Crawford and Manny Pacquiao.
The fight is on Saturday, 5 December in Arlington, Texas at the Dallas Cowboys’ home, AT&T Stadium.
It will see around 11,000 fans in attendance with the Cowboys already showcasing their ability to welcome socially-distanced spectators during the NFL season.
The fight will start on 6 December in the UK, with ring walks expected after 4am and the fight to start 15-20 minutes following that.
