Errol Spence Wants To Massacre Danny Garcia Tonight
December 5, 2020-
IBF/WBC welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr isn’t playing around for his fight tonight against the always lethal Danny Garcia at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Fresh off his car accident from a year ago, Spence (26-0, 21 KOs) says his goal is to “massacre” Danny or “beat him up” in a one-sided 12 round decision.
It’s important in Spence’s mind to make sure he wins decisively against Garcia (36-2, 21 KOs) because he wants to show his critics that he’s still the same fighter he was before his car wreck in 2019.
It doesn’t help that many boxing fans say that Spence was given a gift decision against his opponent ‘Showtime’ Shawn Porter last year in September at the Staples Center in Los Angles, California.
Although Spence’s coach wanted him to box Porter from the outside, he opted to slug it out with him at close range, making the fight a lot harder than it should have been.
“I can’t say it’s the biggest fight of my career, but it’s definitely a huge fight,” said Spence to Morning Kombat. “I really can’t put anything on top of the Kell Brook fight, fighting in somebody else’s hometown in front of 30,000+ fans, his fans.
“But it [Garcia] is a huge fight. If not the first, it’s probably the second because I’m coming off of my accident, and I’m fighting at home in my return fight.
“Danny Garcia is a great fighter, and nobody has ever blown him out of the water,” said Errol.
Back when Spence fought Kell Brook in 2017, the British fighter was at the height of his popularity, still holding his IBF welterweight title, and coming off a fifth-round knockout win over a prime middleweight champion Gennadiy Golovkin.
When Spence fought Brook, it was in front of 30,000+ British fans in Sheffield, England. Brook was still in the prime of his career, unlike Garcia, who has beaten twice since 2017.
Tonight, Spence will be fighting in front of a much smaller crowd than that at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and the fans will be on his side, not Garcia’s.
Going into the UK and beating Brook in front of his own fans made it more meaningful for Spence.
Spence is not Worried About Danny’s Left Hook
“Of course, you have respect for a punch, but I don’t react to it,” Errol said when asked if he has respect for Danny’s no-look left hook. He can throw it all he wants, but he’s got to land it.
“He said he was going to win and upset me at home. I’m focused on what’s in front of me.
“I envision getting my hand raised,” Spence said when asked to predict an outcome for tonight’s clash with Danny ‘Swift’ Garcia.
It sounds like Spence is being a tad bit disingenuous by casting doubt about Garcia’s ability to land his big trademark left hook that he likes to throw.
Garcia will land his left hook tonight at some point, and it’s only a question of whether Spence will be able to take it without going down.
As many times that Spence was hit by Porter’s best shots in their fight in September 2019, you have to believe that Garcia will connect with his left hook a lot.
