Spence fought Brook in the UK. Mikey & Swift in Texas and Porter in LA, Peterson in Brooklyn. He did fight on an undercard at the MGM ... that's all I remember. This is his first prime time fight in Vegas. Does that affect fighters? ...the bright lights, the moment, the crowd. Spence's demeanor tells me it won't matter much. But what do you think?
Nope!
EJ will be better than ever and knock Manny’s d1ck in the dirt and stop him.
im not going to be like most of you 10 year olds and pledge to leave this site (which I enjoy) forever if I’m wrong doe.
Instead I have made several bets with my friends.
Number 48’s brilliant career ends here. I give him credit. He’s a legend but Errol Spence right now will be way too much.
Spence by KO.
Almost like all you dummies who keep defending Donald Trump even after inciting an INSURRECTION against the US Govt.
About half of the US population is brainwashed and living in an alternate reality. I can’t speak for the number of brainwashed folks overseas.
Manny should really press the fight early and see how Spence reacts. If he seems solid, back off and go with the gameplan but if he appears even a bit nervous, he has to apply more pressure.
Sorta how Mayweather pressed Canelo early in the 1st round of their fight but once he saw Canelo was stable, it was business as usual
I think he's accustomed to huge crowds.. but being with a Legend is what will affect him more.. He knows he needs to respect Pac coming in. He will be cautious in the first few rounds trying to figure out Manny. He's also a slow starter. So I expect Manny to Blitz him in the first few rounds. The question here is, under the bright lights, can he handle that onslaught.. If he falters.. It's game over for him, if he is composed enough to weather the early storm. Then we have a fight that will be a classic.
Yea...1st 6 rounds is key. Pac's intensity will keep Spence guessing at the start. The place will be loud... This won't be a football stadium. The energy will be crazy high. Errol has the fundamentals. But 1 mistake by either fighter is all it takes.
You answered your own damn question! 27K in the UK with some of them throwing Brownies at him, Pacman has his fans but Vegas won't come close to that and he will have his share of Fans in the Crowd as well compared to that
Energy/Vibe is totally different IMO. However, I credit him in fighting in a hostile environment. He dug deep. Brook gave him some work in the 1st half of the fight, ..until Spence started dominating. I just want to see how Errol handles it. I think the energy at T Mobile + Pac's intensity in the ring will be something different. Let's see if Errol can settle in and make adjustments. Difference is, ..Pac is capable of making adjustments too.

No, it won’t effect him. He’s already accustomed to having big audiences watch him and he’s a very calm, relaxed guy. A big crowd would only serve to make Spence AND Pac more enthusiastic and zoned in.
I think it is a fair question and Floyd used to always mention this as well saying his opponent was now fighting under the bright lights. I think Spence will be just fine due to his overall demeanor but you won't really know until fight night.
Thurman referenced in his post fight with PAC...that the rounds seemed to fly by... He couldn't believe it was already round 6 or 7. It could possibly happen to Spence as well. Pac blitzes him and Spence might not adjust quick enough. In such a big fight, Spence might not settle in until later. We'll see.
