    Honestly if Ugas was too much for him, regardless of the last minute switch, then he never had any business fighting Spence anyway

      I swear on my life it's impossible for Pacquiao to lose without some weirdo coming up with some bizarre conspiracy theory as an excuse for it

        Well 11 days. Is that equivalent 2-3 months to you? Pac is not young anymore and needs a perfect plan for this kind of fight. You just a moron if you think this just an excuse.

          Rooting for Pac to win, he mentioned he didn't adjust to ugas style. yeah 11 days not enough. It seemed like he over trained too. He knows why he lost. Thurman threw that nail thou and said those were the t-rex arms I was talking about. Had to laugh.

            Preparing for a southpaw for months and then an orthodox fighter a couple of weeks out is definitely going to throw off your game big time. No doubt about it. But Ugas was prepared fully by the fact he was supposed to be on the undercard. He didn't just jump into camp 2-3 weeks ago. So there goes that conspiracy for that angle.

              Manny’s rise to greatness started as a replacement fighter against Ledbawa. Ledbawa was a heavy favorite. Manny won that fight with Ledbawa only having 2 weeks notice.

              Now it appears Manny’s last fight will be a loss in a title fight where he was the heavy favorite yet had to fight someone on 11 days notice.

              Karma is a funny thing.

                How is that karma? It's not like Pac was wrong for accepting and beating Ledbawa on short notice and should feel bad for it. Are you gonna say karma if Ugas loses his next fight? It's a coincidence, but not karma, wtf

                  An injury saved Pac's life. Pac couldn't dominate a guy with 12 KO's, Spence would have caught a body.

                    ''Short notice''....If you're a MFing #3 ATG, you are prepared for EVERYTHING !!!!
                    No guy with 12 KO's should have been hard to figure out

                      It's just that, at one point, an old engine - even if perfectly functional until that moment - starts chugging, and one day it stops.

                      That is what happened, for example, to Hopkins when he was soundly outboxed by Kovalev.

                      The rare "ageless champions" make us believe they're eternal. But they aren't.
