Comments Thread For: Pacquiao vs. Ugas Set For August 21 - Spence Withdraws With Eye Injury

[champion4ever]

Let's be real here. Spence saw a 42 year old Pacquiao who looks like in his prime. Spence would rather fight the 43 year old version.

You should wait for the release of his medical records before making such a presumption. I know that everyone who saw that leaked sparring footage of him being worked over in training are now beginning to question both his integrity and sincerity.

However, I believe this injury is totally legitimate because he's out indefinitely and has never pulled out of a fight before. He never requested any extra time to prepare either. Unlike the Tyson Fury COVID hoax.

This is not a postponement it's a cancellation. Chances are that we may never see Erroll Spence back inside of a professional boxing ring again. This whole ordeal is such a huge tragedy.

Not only is boxing shady but it has terrible luck.... WTF

I don't know if it was bravery, desperation, or greed, but Spence was going to fight Pac with one eye, no teeth, and a head full of reconstructed bone. Pac wasn't going to miss all of that, he would blind Spence or fracture his jaw. This Spence, post rocket Spence.

Grand Pacroyd winner by default, bring on Crawfish next!

It's very possible that he could have sustained that detached retina in that car accident because as I can recall both of his eyes were blood shot red due to the trauma he sustained. He probably started experiencing some complications just recently because he appeared to be alright for the Danny Garcia fight back in December.

I call it BS Spence is not the same getting his but kicked in sparring so he uses the injury excuse to pull out . Floyd probably gave him a tip hey pull out protect that zero bro

Is it the left or right eye? At that first presser, I thought his left eyelid looked droopy and commented on it - was wondering if it was going to turn into a David Reid situation in this fight. The I saw him in pictures and it looked better, so I figured it was the lighting/shade. Wow definitely sucks

You are right it is the left.

I say it’s possible he had brain damage from that accident

That right there is the problem "get his belt back" he never should of lost it or shoulda been reinstated.
if thats the case why not just wait for spencer and move the date? The ppv is gonna bomb and people are returning their tickets because who tf is ugas.

Yeah I know it's a let down but the sport has to move on. And if Pac gets a good win he'll be sharper for the Spence fight which hopefully will make for a better fight. And your right. He never should of lost it.

Wait so they can just postpone indefinitely till Spence is better and Pacs career has to rot on the vine .. they can't just substitute someone else in for Plant sorry Spence............... that's the contract they wanted Canelo to sign ..
