How did Porter hit Spence so much??

[F l i c k e r]

Styles make fights. Porter would probably get stopped by Pac because of how wide he gets sometimes. Pac slips punches in fast and with unorthodox angles. Spence would’ve been able to box the brakes off Porter down the stretch but he wanted a dog fight…and that’s what he did.

Save this post. Against Pac, Spence will jab and box while trying to find his distance and rhythm in round 1-5. After a rough start, Spence will start closing the distance and backing Pac up with effective and intelligent pressure. After the 6-7th rounds, Spence will turn up the heat and start eating shots to get his off. By 8-10, he will either choose to pursue going after Pac or he will slowly pick him apart.

Down the stretch, Pacs punches won’t hurt nearly as much. Spence will have to make a big decision to cruise to a decision or run him over.

I already know.

I've been a Spence fan before he went pro. Saw him in the Olympics and already knew this dude was destined for greatness.

Spence retires Pacquiao in my opinion.

I just hope he doesn't fight Pacquiao's fight. Cause that's typically doesn't end well for anyone. What I expect though is Pacquiao to double hop into that left hand and go right to sleep.

PAC has the higher boxing IQ and much more experience. Spence will fall for his traps and PAC will score a KD in either 2nd or 3rd round.

I agree with having much more experience but that’s it. Pacs offense is designed around his athleticism and his foot and hand speed. He doesn’t ever have to make adjustments in the sense of IQ or traps. He simply keeps firing at different angles and uses his footwork to catch his opponent’s off guard.

As for a knockdown…I’m not convinced of that happening even if Spence is pulling straight back. Pac is going to come out hot and I’m sure the goal for Team Spence is to ease into the fight. Minimize engagement, probe, score, and be defensively responsible. As the rounds progress and Pac slows down…then turn the heat up and take 2-3 shots to land one and see who has the grit down the stretch. People will be surprised at how boring the first half the fight will be.

Love Pac and he’s surely too 5 ATG for even taking this fight. But I refuse to call him a thinking fighter or a chess player in the ring.

I can’t see a one punch knockout at all. All I can see if an accumulation of punches. Even so, he’s a vet and he’ll know how to fight safely while still looking productive. Errol will literally have to hunt him down

PAC already tore Porter up multiple times in sparring. Porter is easy work for Pac.

Wasn’t easy for Spence tho.

When did they spar? Wasn’t it when Porter was early in his career?

that's part of having good ring IQ.. if not then he would just be throwing to be throwing.

It’s already been reported that PAC used to rough Porter up in sparring every time. Porter is an easy fight for Pac, way too many openings to take advantage of and much slower than PAC.

For Spence, it was a different story.

You know sparring is not the fight, right?

[FLY TY]

You're not gonna be here 8/22

You'll be in mourning when grandpac destroys spence

Do i smell a wager?

sparring is not the actual fight.... BUT, it gives you an idea where a fighter is at... you think a fighter is purposely gonna take unnecessary punches, just because "it's sparring"???

Re watched the Porter and Spence fight and Porter tags him all 12 rounds with no problem. Porter is also slow as molasses and doesn’t look to have much umph in those punches due to lack of speed.

How did he manage to connect so much on Spence?

Is Spence defense a liability against PAC?

1 He's an excellent inside fighter and 2 Spence played his game.

PAC has incredible boxing IQ and so much experience it’s almost unfair to these current welters who’ve never been in wars such as he.

You will see the experience play a major role in this fight. Along with the speed.

PAC is the boxing game’s Tom Brady.
Even Bradley has said so.
