Ryan Garcia recently made headlines by predicting an easy victory over former IBF/WBA/WBC welterweight champion Errol Spence. Garcia believes that a fight against Spence would be easier than his recent match against Devin Haney. He even went as far as to predict a knockout victory within three rounds, regardless of the weight class. However, Garcia hinted that Spence’s size might make it necessary for the fight to take place at 160 pounds. Spence has reportedly put on some weight since his last fight against Terence Crawford, where he suffered a ninth-round knockout defeat.
The 34-year-old Spence has remained relatively quiet since Garcia called him out on social media. In response to Garcia’s challenge, Spence dismissed him as a mere “tune-up” opponent and stated that he doesn’t take tune-up fights. Some fans speculate that Spence might be avoiding a high-profile fight with Garcia to protect his career after his loss to Crawford. They believe that Spence might opt for an easier opponent like Sebastian Fundora instead.
Despite the speculation and doubt from fans, Garcia remains confident in his abilities. He firmly stated that a fight against Spence would be easier than facing Haney and that he is willing to fight Spence at any weight class of his choosing. Garcia’s confidence might be intimidating to Spence, especially considering the pressure to bounce back from his previous defeat.
If Spence chooses to face Fundora in a lower-profile fight instead of accepting Garcia’s challenge, he risks missing out on a lucrative and high-profile bout that could resonate with the boxing public. Garcia’s bold prediction and unwavering confidence add fuel to the fire, making it difficult for Spence to ignore the potential matchup. Only time will tell if Spence will take on the challenge or opt for a safer option.
Ryan Garcia’s fearless attitude and confidence in his abilities have stirred up the boxing world with his challenge to Errol Spence. The potential match between these two talented fighters promises to be an exciting showdown for fans. However, the ball is now in Spence’s court to decide whether he will accept Garcia’s challenge and prove himself in the ring.
