By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Angel Garcia says unbeaten #1 IBF Errol Spence Jr. (21-0, 18 KOs) is making a big mistake by choosing to fight the more experienced IBF welterweight champion Kell “Special K” Brook (36-1, 25 KOs) in their fight on May 27 in Sheffield, UK. Angel, the father of WBC 147lb champion Danny Garcia, feels that the 27-year-old Spence should take his time and slowly build his career before he eventually challenges for a world title.
Angel thinks it’s too early for Spence to be fighting for a world title. However, Angel’s own son Danny Garcia captured a world title five years ago when he was just 23-years-old in 2012 in beating Erik Morales.
