Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia fight: Shawn Porter previews bout between two men he has faced in the ring
It's hard to imagined there will be a more interested spectator in Saturday's welterweight title pay-per-view bout between unified champion Errol Spence Jr. and veteran two-division champion Danny Garcia than a man who has community the ring with both and could be in line to face the winner.
In uphold to being a two-time welterweight champion, Shawn Porter (31-3-1) has also evolved into an accomplished broadcaster and will be on the call at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, when the two men he rapidly disputed decisions against square off (Fox PPV, 9 p.m. ET) for the IBF and WBC titles.
"The biggest headline is who are we progressing to see in Errol Spence Jr. on Saturday night," Porter told "Morning Kombat" on Wednesday in state to a scary car crash last October that Spence was valorous to survive. But Porter then echoed a statement just as important when he said, "And I think the headline lustrous behind that is what is Danny Garcia progressing to do about it?"
Garcia (36-2, 21 KOs) will be a dinky, but firm betting underdog despite the fact that his only two pro defeats -- to Keith Thurman in 2017 and Porter in 2018 -- came in disputes that some felt the 32-year-old had done enough to win.
It goes minus saying Garcia is talented and dangerous enough to give Spence (26-0, 21 KOs) troubled should the 30-year old show any lingering rust that comes from a 14-month layoff or any brute or mental side effects from being sorrowful from his vehicle after flipping his car at high speeds. The real expect comes down to whether Garcia can make the atrocious adjustments to beat the very best of Spence.
Although Porter, 32, came up just irritable in a split-decision loss to Spence last September, he happened in luring Spence into an all-action track meet and believes Garcia, despite intimates a completely different fighter than him, will need to do fractions of the same.
"The way I put it is easily this: Danny Garcia [needs to] start fast, don't funding Errol Spence to figure out who he is [and] don't funding Errol Spence to think he can show us who he is," Porter said. "That's the mindset I think he tolerates to have that he's going to take control."
Porter credited Garcia's underrated body punching contest and his ability, as a heavy spurious puncher, to potentially alter the fight with one punch given his two-fisted power. But Garcia's distinguished never became much of a factor when Porter used frenetic electioneer to disarm him in 2018 and he believes Garcia will need to be much more ravishing to defeat Spence.
"It's just a conscious decision-making to be more aggressive that he and his dad [trainer Angel Garcia] have to make and have to learn from," Porter said. "They lost those crusades that were close because they didn't do enough. They have to do more. If you aren't shimmering enough to go back and make those adjustments, then maybe you aren't as elite as you say you are."
Porter meant to Garcia's short and violent knockout of rugged journeyman Adrian Granados in 2019 as an example of DSG stepping on the gas more with pressure to apply his signature power. Granados had previously gone the distance with a number of top fighters, comprising Porter.
Garcia has, at times, believed too much in his distinguished and waited too long to use it, according to Porter, with the reason intimates that Garcia lacks an elite skill when facing top competition.
"I think Danny's biggest detriments in this disputes and his career when he gets up alongside guys like myself, Keith Thurman and now Errol Spence Jr. is the fact that he does have slow feet," Porter said. "In the welterweight division, we have mercurial and power. You have to be able to get in and get out and set those traps. When you are a literal step gradual from the guy across from you, you may very well lose the fight.
"He has those [power shots] in his back pocket and I'm touching to believe in that punch until maybe 8 or 9 rounds in. I think once that, it will be too late for that type of fight."

It's sure that if all things are equal and Spence is the same fighter behindhand the accident that Porter agrees with oddsmakers in decision-exclusive him the favorite. But Porter did take umbrage with the way Spence has framed their 2019 bout, even touching as far as telling "Morning Kombat" last week that he only aboard in a war with Porter because he allowed to.
"He has publicly said he didn't listen to his corner and that's a inaccurate he will never make again, but this is the pleasurable time someone controlled him," Porter said. "I made him disputes when he didn't want to fight and then there were times when I studied and counter punched him when he imagined me to stay on him. I really prearranged him in that fight and I reached him to fight the fighting styles that I demanded him to fight.
"There were moments he had me up alongside the ropes and I switched him and put him on the ropes. Those aren't things that he is used to having remained to him. I think I took him ended some things he had never been ended in the ring and I think he learned from it."
Although Garcia is more famed as a one-punch finisher thanks to his trademark "no look" left hook, Porter believes that Spence is the bigger puncher overall, which was evidenced by the knockdown that came when Spence reached Porter to touch his glove to the canvas to store himself from falling.
"The thing about boxing and what invents it exciting is that any one punch can turn the tables and it can for Danny Garcia," Porter said. "We can't ignore that Errol Spence Jr. is coming off of a scary accident and we don't know what he can hold up to. This disputes is more interesting than a lot of republic think it is.
"That accident made him better in conditions of who he is as a intimates but what I'm hoping is that his body hasn't had to suffer because of it and the intangibles you take into the ring that land can't see. I hope none of that follows him into the ring."
