Comments Thread For: Spence Pursuit Will End Pacquiao's Career On a Painful Note

[Deleted]

I'm actually amazed at how many think Pac, a 43 year old fighter who hasn't fought in a year, is gonna win. He's gonna get hurt. Comparing Spence, probably the most brutal fighter at WW right now, to Thurman is also ******. The fight nothing alike. Spence likes to mix and match but he's a come forward body puncher who knows how to close off the ring. This is a fighter that Manny is going to struggle with for sure.

Same here and for the same reasons. Spence can't even match Thurman's hand speed, imagine the opportunities Manny will have based on Spence's style. I'm one of those who thinks the Crawford fight would have been dangerous but, this one is a 50/50 fight in my book.

Will Spence be able to land his dlow jab like on Mikey Garcia..possibly but, i'm not sold.

Not a good idea to say things like Manny will get stomped when that hasn't happened in like almost 20 years of world level fights

I expect Spence to win, as he should being the size of Roy Jones and fighting a 42 y/o 5'6" legend, but I do not expect it to be a cake walk

50/50 fight. Spence is more beatable and cheaper than Crawford.

Based on what exactly?

Ever since his millions of mindless fans and others started hating on Jeff Horn and excusing a rematch Packy has been fighting flawed opponents. Now he thinks that post car crash Spence has been damaged and is another flawed opponent right for a beating. Well I hope that Packy gets thrashed into retirement, he deserves it.

Lmao! Horn didn't beat Pacquio and almost got knocked out. Just stop it

Hi Lyle know your boxing. Here's 101 for you. Spence is too footed for Pacquiao, and as Pacquiao said after watching him fight Mickey Garcia, he's slow and don't have that much power as reported. Spence as seen with his fight with Porter was thrown off balance in several occasions when Porter attack switching angles. That was the reason Spence fight Porter in close quarter, he simply can't switch angles faster and fluidly with faster opponents switching angles while attacking and disengaging. Porter's pressure and fast attack in different angles is no match to Pacquiao. No less than Floyd Mayweather admitted in an interview that Pacquiao is the hardest opponent he faced, when asked why, he said it's because of the way he fight, awkward angles in attacking and disengaging. Spence like Thurman will lost that '0', believe me.

I'm expecting Spence to jab Manny's head off and control the fight, but I don't think he'll brutalize him and knock him out. The last time Manny fought a southpaw was almost 20 years ago so I'm interested in seeing the different look. Manny's counter left won't be there as usual.

TOTAL FAIL

First off, Manny is 42 and secondly, he hasn't fought in well over a year

That said, Manny is coming off an arguably harder fight against Keef Thurman

Thurman wasn't a consensus anything lol. He was prob at the tail end of the top 5. His showing before the Pac fight was also terrible. Thurman hadn't looked good in years going into that fight.

Ha ha ha. You’ve left me speechless. Name 4 fighters that were more accomplished than Keith Thurman at the time of that fight.

I’ll wait lmfao. Bruh, wow. Crazy. Hahaha.

Because you clearly wasn’t a fan of boxing at the time of the fight between pac and Keith I’ll help you out young one,

all that was left in the welterweight division was Keith’s leftovers, Errol defeated them and got all the high praise in the world. They’re wasn’t 4 fighters that were more accomplished than Keith Thurman. But nice try. You trolls are funny I’ll give you that. I think you’ll have the whole forum in giggles tbh, I’m gonna add you. You are a barrel of laughs!

So this idiot writer is ignoring the fact that a 40 yr old Manny beat the crap out of Thurman.

Biased ass dumbass writer doesn’t want to acknowledge that Manny’s win over Thurman is greater than any win Spence has.

Valdez, Josh Taylor, Canelo, they all dished out beatings. Manny didn't beat the crap out of Thurman. Manny outpointed him.
