That's my call as well. My heart is with Pacquiao but if you're a betting man you have to take Spence and specifically a body shot. Spence works the body in close like no other current fighter. Pac needs to come in with a blend of his style he used on De La Hoya and Marquez 4. Yes he got knocked out but he was on the verge of his own knockout when he got clipped. He has to take a risk and be aggressive but do it smart. It he tries to plod around like he did with Mayweather or Marquez 3 he'll be dissected.
Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Pacquiao-Spence is 50-50 Fight, Won't Go The Distance

Hmm, think this is a case of a fighter being helpful in the build-up to an event and helping to sell it. Manny is an ATG legend, but I don't think Danny Garcia really thinks this is a 50/50 fight. Spence is a very different fighter to Thurman and in any case that fight was nearly 2 years ago.
In case anyone has forgotten, Manny will be 43 in December...Comment

Yea he holds some big time power in those hands for a welter, brook and Shawn Porter were both game and gave him a good go but ultimately both were worn down by those thunderous body shotsComment

Spence is a solid outside fighter, but I think Porter was able to give him trouble on the inside, as was Brook before the orbital injury. He hasn’t knocked anybody out in I can’t remember. I feel like Spence is lucky to be facing an old Pac instead of Crawford, and I don’t see it as a walk in the park like the two Garcias, who both ended their bouts on their feet.Comment

If Spence is elite, he should beat Pacquiao. Elite guys in their prime usually beat old elite fighters.
But that won`t happen, Pac wins.
