Spence is not as good as some think

[GrandpaBernard]

I think Manny is going to look every day of his 43 years of age. A two year hiatus likely aged him beyond return. Last shirtless pic I saw of him a couple months back he looked really soft. Like a true warrior, he is going out on his shield though.

ring rust aged overnight?

I think he's better than he gets credit for he is one of the most fundamentally sound southpaws he does the basics extremely well combined with his front foot pressure style and conditioning he is a problem. I think he gets underrated because he isn't insanely explosive or ridiculously fast. The term educated pressure is so overused but Spence fits that term to a tee. Smart, educated pressure.

Manny looked dog tired to me vs Thurman in the second half of that fight. 2 years on with such inactivity.
This isn't going to end well.

I hope its a quick K.O because Spence punishes guys, this could be really hard to watch.
Its a fight you get excited for until it happens then you're just left feeling sad, watching a legend just getting busted up.

Most fighters seem to age overnight between their last good win and a lackluster defeat that shows their age as well as a career of wear and tear. A 40+ year old fighter taking two years off and then challenging the top guy at 147 is beyond ring rust.

If manny some how beats Spence, it’ll be like he had two one last great performances: Keef & Spence

i don’t like the guy but if he pulls it off it be an amazing feat

I see roach stopping things before it gets too bad if manny getting taxed in there

No one can say anything bad about manny if the fight ends with him on his stool in the corner

he already proven his heart countless times

he looked bad in the thurman fight.. I scored the fight 6-6. Manny won the first 5, and from rounds 6-12 only won 1 round. The knockdown gave him the win. At one point I thought he was gonna get stopped. he was taking some punishment. That 10th round body shot gave Manny the 10th. he faded badly

yeah, i don't want to see Manny or any fighter get seriously hurt during a fight.

[HewJohnson]

Manny looked great against Thurman.
Outclassed him, won 8-9 rounds total with a knockdown.

Should be competitive against Spence.

If Spence wins, I hope it isn’t because manny faded in the 2nd half due to age

that win wouldn’t look as good

I say the complete OPPOSITE!

I think Spence is BETTER than what he gets Credit for especially SKILL WISE! People THINK he is Flat Footed and Slow because with his style it is a catch and shoot style he is more stationary and he does a good job keeping his feet grounded to generate Power even behind that jab. Also far more versatile than people give him credit for and he has better DEFENSE than people want to give him credit for he has a excellent high guard. You rarely see Spence Jr really marked up or busted up badly after a fight besides the Porter Fight

I think people are Thinking all these things going into the fight but once they get in with him they see up close that he is NOT Slow or Flatfooted. Chris Algeiri spoke on this multiple times as someone who been in with him, Stating that Spence is much craftier in that Ring than he Looks

That being said, absolutely I give the LEGEND Pacman a great chance and a shot at beating Spence and no I don't think anybody is just going to walk through Pacman not even a 41-42 years old Pacman
