    7-5 max for Floyd. Could’ve been draw or 7-5 win for Pac. Much closer fight than media tried to portray. Just like political media sources, always pushing a narrative.


    Anyway, Spence will lose by UD to PAC.
    Too much experience Pac has, will exploit Spence’s holes and methodically out point him to victory.
    The experience and speed and punching power is in PAC’s side.

        Spence's jab will be key imo. If he is able to establish it hard and early, then work to the body off it, Roach will probably end up pulling Pacquiao out in the later rounds.
        I have said this before, he has to get through that accurate long jab that is closer to him. Before this he has faced like 28 orthodox opponents, now he is facing a southpaw and a good one. Gone is the counter right hook over the jab and he has to adjust his straight left. Hard to fall into a different habit when you have been doing almost the same thing for so long.

          Mayweather certainly did not decisively handle pacquiao over 12.
          That was an easy win for Floyd, boring fight means that Floyd won easy.

            Nah, Manny won 3 rounds tops, unless you subscribe to the SUPER S L O W M O T I O N theory (that's not how fights are watched or scored btw).

            If Spence controls distance like he did with Mikey, then UD for Spence. I don't see him starting his body attack until late in the fight (like the 8th or 9th round). Spence also has to be busy with that jab. Being a lefty means that he won't be at a big disadvantage throwing it like orthodox fighters are against Pac. Either way, good fight coming up.

              Spence is taylor made for pac, too slow. However, pac will not be pac for 12 rnds. If or when pac gets ko’d he’ll be ahead on the scorecards. He’ll tire half way into the fight due to old age.

                The media? You mean 85% of the boxing world.

                ​​​​lol Anyone who thinks Manny did enough to win that fight has an agenda. Yes it was closer than people acknowledge, but it wasn't close enough for damn draw

                Anywho, Manny has a championship mentality, even though he has stamina problems late rounds, he has speed, and experience which will come into play.

                ​​​​​​The second half of the fight is what he needs to be careful about, Thurman was getting in Pac ass during the second half of their fight winning most of the rounds outside of a late rally around the 11th.

                  I think Freddie Roach sees enough, and stops the fight somewhere between rounds 7-9! Father Time remains undefeated!

                    I will say 4 rounds Max.

                    And don't you feel like your in the twilight zone when people say Manny won or it was a draw? Lol what fight was you watching? As soon as I hear that BS, I hear the Xfiles theme playing in my head. Lol

                      what i have been saying!!!!

                      "I want to retire him but I do respect him for taking this fight and being a real fighter. He could've picked Joe Blow or somebody, or an MMA fighter just to get a huge paycheck. Instead, he took the biggest challenge in the division," Spence stated to Morning Kombat.
