The IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. (24-0-0) made some interesting remarks abouth the physique of his future opponent – Mikey Garcia (39-0-0).
They will be meeting in two months, on March 16 for the IBF world welterweight title.
Since Garcia turned pro in 2006, he had never weighed more than 140 pounds, but now he has to put around 7 extra pounds to get in the welterweight division, and my God he did!
The normally skinny looking Garcia is looking pretty bulked right now, as you can see from the picture below.

“The Truth” didn’t hold his tounge back when he saw that picture and said that Garcia is on steroids:
“He ain’t going to get where I’m trying to be at and where I’m trying to go. In two weeks, he got swoll and look like Kangaroo Jack on steroids.”
In case you forgot who Kangaroo Jack is, he’s an animated character from a 2003 Warner Brother’s movie, and the main character was pretty muscular.

The shocking transfromation of Garcia’s body immediately reminded the boxing fans all over the world for Saul Alvarez, who also got unrecognisable bigger for his first fight with the former unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin back in 2017.
