    Pac Spence southpaw style matchup

    PAC’s kryptonite has always been the straight right hand. It’s how Marquez KO’ed him and how Floyd neutralized him.

    against Spence a southpaw he doesn’t have to worry about the straight right. But he has to deal with Spence’s long constant jab.

    one thing Manny has over Spence is experience. Spence has only faced 2 southpaws and has only faced 3-4 world class opponents. Manny has been world level for 20 years and has destroyed every single southpaw he faced.

    Can Manny steal some rounds with his speed and experience and then survive Spence’s late surge?

    Manny can if a big IF he can maintain his stamina at least in par with the Thurman fight were in he almost depleted in the later rounds. If his stamina at 2 years older than his previous fight is lower. Pac won't have a chance of winning. So to me, it's based on what stamina Pac will be showing up on fight night.

    Pac still has the speed and power and the dynamic movement of his footwork. All that is only good if he can maintain his stamina anything less than the Manny in the Thurman fight will be bad for Manny.

    Regarding Manny, being good at southpaws. That's very true. Pac won't have to worry about the straight right. Manny will easily spot a straight left from Spence. And Manny's right hook and darting right jabs will neutralize Spence stiff jab.

    Very intriguing match-up.

      Spence jab will play an ever bigger role than usual

      southpaw jabs are easier to land on another lefty. Opens up additional angles

      manny hasn’t fought a southpaw in a long time. David Diaz was the last
