Just out of curiosity, to maximize fairness, I wonder if both fighters will go through VADA testing?
Probably not but just wondering.
Speaking of which, Manny needs to get Ariza back in his corner. Those knocksouts will suddenly start coming back.
Got a feeling youth will prevail in this matchup. In fact, Spence will be more driven to close the show on Manny’s career since many analysts are giving Manny a chance to beat Spence. Manny is not the same Manny we saw years ago. Time takes a toll on all of us and Manny is no exception.
If Spence is the same as before the accident he should win.
I am not gonna count Pacquiao out. He took this fight because he sees openings and sees victory. Pacquiao wins this fight and shocks the world…
What the heck….I’m with you. Pac-Man shocks the world. Either way just enjoying every fight while we have him.
Pacquiao is without question the greatest and most exciting fighter so far in my lifetime. I really hope he pulls out this win and retires.
Respect to Manny for taking this fight. Manny doesn’t tend to do well against smart & slick boxers which is why he typically avoids them. His team should study the Shawn Porter fight. Manny best chances are applying the pressure and keep the fight close. Trying to outbox Spence from the outside is foolish.
If pacquioa beats spence then i think pacquioa will have a showdown with crawford if he beats crawford who knows maybe he can fight canelo, if he beats canelo, who knows maybe pacquioa can have a exhibition fight with Mayweather before he retires from boxing, exhibition is the only way pacquioa can put mayweather back into the ring.
Hope Pacquiao got one left against a much younger and stronger fighter. I’m not a fan of Spence and never will be until he’s fighting Crawford. This fight should’ve happen a few years ago (2 or 3). Spence is powerful but nothing special skillfull wise; Brooks would’ve beat him had they fought before kell was smashed by GGG.
