When advised by a fan to take the Garcia fight, Spence was dismissive of his abilities.
“That ni**a is a tune up what has he done & who he beat without it being a problem lol.. I had to consistently ask his coach for weeks to train the lame,” he wrote.
Spence’s refusal to consider Garcia as a potential opponent could be seen as a combination of pride and perhaps a strategic decision based on his assessment of Garcia’s current standing in the sport. However, the financial incentives of a matchup with Garcia are hard to ignore, especially given Spence’s recent setbacks and the potential for a lucrative payday.
Ultimately, whether Spence’s pride will block him from accepting the fight or not depends on various factors, including his assessment of Garcia’s skills, his confidence in his own abilities, and his willingness to prioritize financial gain over potential risks to his reputation. It will be interesting to see if Spence reconsiders his stance and decides to pursue the fight with Garcia or if he remains steadfast in his decision.
