Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: Spence is a Very Difficult Fight, Perhaps The Most Difficult of My Career

[SceneBoxer]

This is really an intriguing and an amazing match up.... No one is sure if Spence has no after-crash negative side effects... Tho PAC's speed is not comparable to a Ferrari...

I believe this is the most difficult fight for Pac cause he's also fighting Duterte's corruption.

he aint fightin sh.t

Spence knocks him out and he loses the election.
The End.

This ain't a fairy tale.

Pullin for the OG, but father time is undefeated for a reason.

It would be difficult in PACs prime also as PAC is a former flyweight. PAC fights everyone, floyd at 37 years old fighting Berti couldn't claim what PAC is claiming. Not even close

I just rewatched the Spence Danny fight on YouTube last night. And what stood out to me was that it was a very slow paced, flat footed fight by both Danny and Spence. I really didn’t see either guy step on the gas, no fast combinations or any fast punches for that matter, no bounce in their steps. It was mostly Spence walking Danny down, throwing the jab and Danny countering with single shots. Danny landed some good counters but just like in the Porter and Thurman fight, he waits too long and doesn’t throw enough. He didn’t move his head much either cuz Spence was just throwing the jab straight out and landing it almost at will.

Spence is good at cutting off the ring and using his jab to put a guy where he wants them. (kinda reminds me of GGG) . And he throws more punches when he’s got a guy on the ropes. To the best of my knowledge he hasn’t fought any real fleetfooted fighters. Manny’s legs aren’t what they used to be but they’re leagues better than Danny’s.

another thing I noticed. Spences best work comes when guys shell up. If you don’t throw anything, he’ll keep throwing. Porter had success by stating busy. Spence was throwing a lot as well but was getting hit a lot. More than he normally does. Porter even managed to buzz him with a shot to the head/temple. Manny hits harder than Shawn without a doubt.

To win Spence has to be his best self. There are two things that trouble Manny, a constant moving target & a good jab. What he doesn’t have in movement he more than makes up for it in the jab department. If he can keep that jab in Manny’s face all night, manny’s output will be suffer. He won’t be able to get his offense going.

For Manny, He’s gotta pace himself. He can’t shoot his load early because Spence doesn’t get tired. If they get to grappling Spence is gonna win that battle everytime and zap manny’s energy. Manny can’t go 100mph for 12 rounds anymore. He’s gotta know when to step on it and when to cruise. Gassing late against Spence would be disastrous. Pac has to keep those legs moving, in and out and stay on his angles. He can’t lunge in but it’s Manny and he always lunges in lol so whatever. His best punch is gonna be the right hook. Manny’s right hook is far better than Spences & I think it’ll serve him well.

That all being said, my mind says Manny loses a close competitive fight to Spence. I think the height, reach, jab, youth, and power are just too much to overcome at this stage of his career. Not to mention punch resistance is not gonna be what it used to be at 42 years old. I just don’t see him being able to get off the punches that he’s gonna want to. He’s proven me wrong before but you gotta go with your brain and not your heart. Spence by decision.

I think Spence will be like his favorite boxer Terry Norris when he beat Sugar Ray Leonard into retirement.

I don’t know how he passes VADA.
I’ve said it time and time again that if he’s off them PEDS his body would’ve broken down by now especially at 42. And still no injuries from the side effects?
So he has to be on it still, right?

Or how about he was never on Peds. Have you ever considered that possibility? Over 25+ years in the sport and tested over 100xs and no su****ious blood levels (testosterone) , never caught with illegal IVs before any fight, never tested positive for anything, NOT ONCE. Was able sue Floyd for defamation, as Floyd couldn't prove anything. Actually Floyd settled and payed in that lawsuit bc they were going to start to investigate Floyd himself, Floyd said HELL NO, here's some cash Manny. Manny also made a deal with Floyd that if either one of them failed a drug test for their fight , they would be penalized 5mil!!! Floyd rejected that!!! Yet Manny till this day is still passing blood tests with flying colors and is still being accused. If you want to question if a person is on Peds, question Floyd Mayweather. You're not going to get anywhere doing it to Manny BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOTHING

Take it easy brotha…
I’m just showing how foolish these haters sound
whenever they down play Pacquiao’s accomplishments.
Pac’s just a FREAK

If you understand more than hype you will see through accomplishments to what they really mean at fight level, this is where fanboys are totally in dreamland.
