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

[ShaneMosleySr]

Wow, the PBC shill thinks that PBC somehow ended up with a better fight even with Spence out?

I’m shocked!!!

I actually think this fight is a better fight even though it delays a new Ring champion. I know NSB disagrees but here's the thing.

Manny held up the division. He was right to be stripped. Period.

Keef was a dumb ass for ducking Ugas to get his belt back. Had he done that, he would have made a case for a Pacquiao rematch right now if he'd won, which then opens up the Spence fight he wanted.


Keef is the biggest loser here.


As for Spence...I remember his eye looking real bad at one point some months ago. Didn't think too much of it but to my knowledge this is the first time he's withdrawn due to an injury of any kind. I wonder if he fought Danny with the injury (just like Keef fought Danny injured).


It basically resets the division back to what it was before Manny started chasing a lightweight.

If Spence is not forced to vacate, it's a bigger fight and now, Manny will have earned the belt back rather than deal with it being handed to him or if Ugas pulls it out, it will force NSB to recognize him as an actual threat to the others. Especially Crawford.

[-MEGA-]

Damn. I woulda thought Crawford would have been the next choice. Highly disappointed, will not buy.

How do you go about get a refund? I might also cancel the trip.

I’m still trying to figure out my self.

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.

Spoken like a fanboy. Why risk his health with a torn retina? The **** you clowns say is mind boggling.

It’s been a year of cancellations for various reasons. You just never know of a proposed fight is going to happen even when it’s signed.

Yea don't listen to idiots like revelated , Oregonian, jab jab f@g , they're not real boxing fans, rather they have other feelings mixed with their feelings of the sport (like race) and they can't see it from a neutral standpoint...hence why they're always on Pacquiao articles trashing Pacquiao lol...don't get it twisted tho, if it was Pacquiao pulling out of the fight they would no doubt be singing a different tune...you can believe that

No, you can also think of it as Spence preserving his mythological "best welterweight" title. First real test of his career and he backed out. It is actually good for his career as when he gets back, he will still be recognized as the best and Manny would have already retired. Ducking this fight is a long term strategy and will keep his name at the top. If he loses to a 42 year old Grand Pac, his stocks will definitely plummet, so as the rest of the welterweights in his generation.

If Manny exposed him, like how he exposed Thurman at 40 years old, it just shows how weak as fk their generation is.

Grand Pacroyd and Grandpa Floyd Gayweather could whoop all this "Prime" young welterweights even at their current age. Looks bad for their generation but it is reality.

Except for the part about Floyd being able to whoop all these young guys you pretty much nailed it. This is what Floyd did his whole career either waited guys out and fought them with every advantage to preserve his record. He's advising Spence to do the same

Goddammit. I was looking forward to that fight.
