Who Will Win The Fight?
Going against Spence is tough for any fighter, let alone someone moving up in weight to do so and with clear disadvantages when it comes to reach and height. In boxing, it is not only size that matters, but skill can only take fighters so far. However, there have been some bettors who have taken a liking to Garcia as the odds have gone in his direction at most sportsbooks. Spence is an offensive juggernaut but does leave himself open to shots.
Garcia is one of the best fighters in the world right now when it comes to attacking from all different angles and mixing head and body shots. Spence is undoubtedly the safer play in this matchup, but I do think Garcia is worth a shot at +300. You have to give him all the credit in the world for taking this fight with many close to him against it. I still think he has a decent chance to win this fight and I am happy taking a shot with him at +300.
Pick: Mikey Garcia +305
