Deontay Wilder Expresses Excitement for Errol Spence Jr. vs Danny Garcia
Follow Us
Former Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is excited about this weekend. Unified welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. will take on two-division champion Danny “Swift” Garcia in a 12 round contest on PPV. Errol Spence Jr. makes his way back into the right after suffering a horrific car crash where Spence was rushed to the ICU.
Errol Spence has great technique as a fighter, and Danny Garcia’s a great counter-puncher. Garcia is a small betting underdog for this match up. He only has two pro defeats as a professional- first to Keith Thurman in 2017 and then Porter in 2018, although some felt Garcia had done enough to win.
