Errol Spence Jr vs. Mikey Garcia: A true ‘superfight’ or an ill-conceived mismatch?

This weekend’s biggest combat sports event will see IBF welterweight (147 lbs) champion Errol Spence Jr (24-0, 21 KOs) take on WBC lightweight (135 lbs) champion Mikey Garcia in the main event of a PBC on FOX pay-per-view at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX. It is indeed a champ vs. champ boxing “superfight,” at a time when MMA fans are all too familiar with the UFC’s sudden interest in frequently booking them in recent years.

Garcia has had his eyes on Spence dating back to last July, prior to his lightweight title unification win over Robert Easter Jr.
