Pac Spence could be like the Brook Spence Fight

Yup. An old timer can look old overnight. This will test Pac's resolve and stamina. This is a hard fight for Pac, but winnable. As you can see how easy it is for Brook to hit Spence. Pac with his crazy footwork and angles will definitely get his shots in. The question is how durable Pac is against Spence. IF he is as durable. Pac will win this match up, if not, Spence wins it.Last edited by Spoon23; 08-06-2019, 11:13 PM.Comment

Spence fought that way because he had to keep the pressure in Brooks homeland. If Spence stayed on the outside and boxed the champ at home he would’ve lost for sure.
With PAC, he could let off the gas a little and make Pac miss, perry, or block more shots knowing for a fact Pac will slow down in the last third of the fight. I don’t think it’s a blow out, but I think it would be a passing of the torch for sure.Comment

a better, younger version of manny could have fought crawford when he was top rank, just like mikey garcia. neither wanted that fight. crawford switches and is long like fmw and knows how to use his 72'' reach. he would have done a demo job on manny. that's why Arum didn't make the fight along with the 20 mil ridiculous demand by manny to take a beating. remember the so called prime manny has been knocked out a couple of times by lesser fighters than crawford. look it up on boxrecComment

An off night? In fairness, Brook is the only top level guy Spence has fought that's his size.What Brook had was a tremendous amount of strength and straight hard accurate shots. That was difficult for an off-night Spence to deal with for a couple of rounds.
Pacquiao would get obliterated and stopped. As will Keith if they ever fought. Shawn might be tough enough to withstand the onslaught and make it to the cards.
Crawford is about as close to 50/50 as anyone will get against Spence.
Why would you say he had an off night?Comment

Manny probably just made 20 million fighting Thurman. Hows 20 for Crawford a ridiculous ask? He wanted to get paid for the risk apparently. They know how good Crawford and theyll want the same for a Spence fight or more .a better, younger version of manny could have fought crawford when he was top rank, just like mikey garcia. neither wanted that fight. crawford switches and is long like fmw and knows how to use his 72'' reach. he would have done a demo job on manny. that's why Arum didn't make the fight along with the 20 mil ridiculous demand by manny to take a beating. remember the so called prime manny has been knocked out a couple of times by lesser fighters than crawford. look it up on boxrecComment

The point is, like the Diaz, Horn and Benavidez fights, Crawford is a dog and will turn it up on any fighter he gets the upper hand on, so you better check out like Khan before the beating. Thurman mentally checked out of boxing years ago when Spence showed up. Safe fight for Manny, a lot of safe fights over at PBC to pay off Uncle Sam. Crawford gives Manny, an old man, a retirement fight vs. Haymon giving him bill-paying fights. Crawford will run the gauntlet on PBC's roster. That's why he can't get that 2nd undisputed crown, and they are trying to age him out of his prime to get Spence a real chance of beating him.Comment

His timing was visibly off, the usual accuracy wasn't there. He was too anxious to land his shots and was "forcing" things a bit too much. The long lay off as well as the pressure of his first title shot in his opponent's home turf in front of so many people probably had something to do with it. Let's also not discredit that it's Kell Brook who was much better then given credit for at the time.
Once he started to wear Brook down, it seemed like he found his groove later on in the fight. From the 6th round onward he was landing more cleanly.Comment
