Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao Must Start Quick, Spence Gets Tired in Later Rounds

They picked Spence for a reason.

I really don’t know any fighter that doesn’t get tired in the 2nd half of a fight. It’s how they’ve planned to reinvent their skill set under that type of duress that’s important. Imo, both Pac & Spence is something special in economizing what they do.

I told you guys Spence gets tired. I noticed it in the Mikey fight. He lost tons of steam off his punches and was gassed in a fight he didn't even get hit in.

He was noticeably tired in that fight as well as the Danny fight. Big time.

Lmao .... This must be a tactic.

Pacquiao the one who needs to worry about their stamina.

If anything Errol gets stronger as the fight goes on

this is ideal

im with you. Watching Errol vs Kell Brook I thought he started slow and was a bit uncomfortable on his feet. My brother assured me this was normal and that he will just keep coming on and on. He did. This seems to be his M.O. I know Manny starts fast and even with all the tape on him some people can still get shocked with his early speed and bounce in style. Manny will need to get the early rounds and his best case is to score a flash KD or something. Spence will come on at the point when Manny fades. Manny will have to weather these rounds and then try and take the late rounds. Not so easy. Spence might just win each round after he gets his groove. High guard and good jab. Doesn’t take big risks. Might not be too much leather thrown. Both fighters might land only single fights in quite a few rounds.

What he meant to say was:

Pacquiao must start quick!
Pacquiao gets tired in later rounds!

Both these guys fade around the same time, which is what makes this a good fight…Roach better don’t underestimate Spence…..Spence claims he didn’t prepare optimally for Porter….”if” that’s true, he did have enough in the tank to win that fight convincingly against a BEAST (not so much a skillful beast though).

He beat Garcia VERY convincingly as well (obviously he showed signs of gassing). So Roach better know what he’s talking’ bout before he gives his ‘past prime’ fighter this false sense of ‘legend’ security - only to then see his him getting tagged in the latter half of the fight to the body…Spence is no joke. I only hope he doesn’t overtrain due to the magnitude of this fight.

Maybe not this time though

manny is a headhunter

ErroL IS a prolific bodypuncher

if he breaks manny’s body down, adios manny stamina

A good big man will always defeat a good small man. Spence has the edge to win.

[Punch on Tap]

Mind games by Roach. Manny has said the key is speed and endurance. It’s that simple. Aside from the Danny fight, Spence gets stronger or at least maintains in the later rounds. He got the knockdown against Porter late and stopped Brook late. A welterweight capable of throwing over 1000 punches in a fight (ie Mikey fight) doesn’t have issues with stamina.
