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

[pasawayako]

The Bookies had Manny a hot favorite over Thurman, they have Spence a red hot favorite over Manny, they know Thurman was a shadow of himself 2 yrs earlier and they know Spence is a totally different animal.

just like in a thurman fight pac is the underdog but come fight night he will be the favorite.

Could be on spence, but thurman wasn't that far removed from the top tier. There were a few bits in spence' last fight I thought he'd dropped a step since the car wreck that practically killed him. We'll see how it goes. Looking forward to quite an interesting fight.

I hope he does become favorite right now Spence is unbackable, Manny came in very little with Thurman and Kieth drifted a little in the odds, the swing between Spence and Manny is large, I cant see Manny coming in that far, the smart money won't bet until close to the fight, its all fan nickel and dime stuff now.

Spence is in for a rough night. He couldn’t drop Danny or Mikey, Pac is going to drop Spence.
Oh boy

It will be tough... but IMO Manny pulls out either a wide UD or a mid/late rounds stoppage. It will be interesting to see how spence reacts to Manny's speed and power. There is always a chance Manny gets caught, but I think he'll be safety first, while making an art out of picking the right spots to sneak in just the right jabs, body shots, power punches at the exact right time. We'll know soon enough if Manny is getting into the right comfortable rhythm. I feel like he will, nearly from the start.

Manny hasn't stopped any since Lucas Matthysse retired after their fight in 2018, and before that it was Miguel Cotto in 2009.
Spoken like a true casual. Keep that same energy after the fight is over.

You're the one who sounds like a casual, son. I've kept up with the sport since the 60s. We're just talking opinions here, and of course you can have yours and I'll have mine.

Pac has the mental edge, experience edge, speed edge. You can try your intimidation all you want, son. I don't bend to that teenager stuff. Pac will respond accordingly if spence tries to take him out... but if he has any sense he'll just try to win a UD. I'm not going back and forth with your taunts. So if you wanna keep talking, you'll talk to yourself.

Lmao. No taunts. If you think Manny wins a decision, fair play....

But saying he stops Spence in 6, seems like casual talk to me. We can move on though.
