Mikey Garcia Believes Terence Crawford Defeats Errol Spence Jr. In Potential Fight

Mikey Garcia thinks Terence Crawford would defeat Errol Spence Jr. if the two end up fighting.

The two were linked to fighting one another and it seemed like it was going to happen. However, it fell through leaving tons of fans disappointed. Yet, it still remains one of the biggest fights in boxing to make and many hope it will happen in 2023.

If it does happen, Garcia – who lost a decision to Spence Jr. – believes Crawford will be too much and will take Spence Jr.’s 0.

“I think that’s going to be a great match-up. It’s 50-50,” Garcia told FightHype. “If I had to pick a side for at least what it is right now, I’m going to lean toward Crawford. I think he might be able to make adjustments on the spot, on the fly a little bit better, but not by a lot. Spence manages the distance really well and is able to control the distance with short little movements. It’s a tough one to call, but I’m thinking Crawford, maybe.

“Everybody has the power at that point. They’re at the highest level. The only difference is [Crawford and Spence] are too smart to knock each other out,” Garcia continued. “I think it’s going to be a very technical fight. All it takes is one punch, and [Spence] never landed that one punch that could have hurt me. He could land that against anybody else. That’s what makes a difference.  When I say I’m going to lean a little bit toward Crawford, it’s just an instinct, maybe. It’s not where I can pinpoint why. It’s a close fight.” 

As of right now, Terence Crawford is set to fight David Avanesyan on December 10 while Errol Spence Jr. does not have his next fight booked. Mikey Garcia, meanwhile, is 40-2 as a pro and coming off a majority decision loss to Sandor Martin in October.
