Fight To Headline PBC On Fox PPV Event
Long thought to be a long shot, a huge contest between two of the best pound-for-pound fighters in boxing is official.
Mikey Garcia (39-0, 30 KOs) will move up two weight classes to take on Errol Spence Jr. (24-0, 21 KOs) for the IBF welterweight title next year.
The fight is scheduled to take place on March 16th in Dallas, Texas at the AT&T Center, home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Garcia, who last fought in July when he out-pointed Robert Easter Jr. by unanimous decision in a unification bout, has been highly interested in a fight with Errol Spence Jr.
Spence Jr. has mostly scoffed at Garcia wanting to fight him, expressing that it’s an easy fight if it happens but that he wouldn’t be opposed to fighting the much smaller Garcia.
In spite of the obvious size advantage coupled with Spence’s boxing skills and power, Garcia possesses boxing ability you can’t teach at this level.
He is an excellent counter puncher and sets up his shots without much effort, it’s a fight in which should test Spence’s mental as there could be times where Garcia appears to have a huge advantage in boxing technique and timing if Spence Jr. doesn’t make it a close quarters fight.
