Several boxing fans from all over the globe will tune in to watch the welterweight title clash between current champion (WBC & IBF) Errol Spence Jr. and former champion (WBC) Danny Garcia this weekend.

The high-voltage matchup might change the orthodox beliefs of the active roster as they believe Garcia could walk out with the belts. ‘Swift’ has all the chances of landing an upset and considering his in-ring experience, he is a legitimate threat for ‘The Truth’.

Errol Spence Jr. is still unbeaten and appears to be leading the odds in the bookie’s market. However, several boxers and analysts have already billed this fight as an extremely tough one to predict.

‘One Time’ connected with Behind The Gloves to shed light on the fight and pointed out some advantages for both- Spence Jr. and Garcia.

Keith Thurman said, “I expect Errol to bring in a lots of technique. I expect him to bring in his good defense. I like to see him try to control the ring with the jab. He was trying to do that against Shawn Porter, but it’s not going to work against Porter.”

He added, “Porter has that pendulum movement, this and that. Danny doesn’t do that. So, I think if he (Errol) wants to go back to that pin you down with a jab strategy. I think that might end up playing out well for him. He’s got to watch out for that big counters though.”

Thurman has previously faced Garcia and overcame the ‘Swift’ via decision. Thus, he knows the kind of trouble the 32-year-old can bring. So, he alarmed Errol Spence Jr. of it.

‘One Time’ continued, “Danny is very poised there, and he is going to be throwing Philly bricks. He will try to turn an arrow into a Philly cheesesteak sandwich. He is trying to clean his clock, you know. He is the hardest puncher that I have ever been in the ring with.”
