Pacquiao Vs Spence 21st August

Post by joshj909 »

I guess not confirmed but it's being reported that Pac has signed his side.

I would love for Pac to win it but Spence is probably too much at his age.

Spence by late stoppage. Likely the corner or ref stop it. Pac-Man is a bonafide legend but age and form matter.

Credit to Manny taking another huge risk. Very respectable.

Is there proper VADA testing for this fight?

Understanding the answer to this question will help me predict the outcome of this fight

Are you calling into question the legitimacy of usada testing?

I will have you know they have busted several cheaters. Granted the fights went on anyways, but i cant let you besmirch usada and the advisors (not promoters) who demanded their usage.

FMJ never fought anyone as dangerous as Spence at welter weight, let alone at 42. But, hey, he is performing another clown show in a couple of weeks.

Spence will get the biggest win of his career at least on paper and in terms of name recognition. Maybe it'll help elevate his marketability. Not sure what beating Pacquiao is worth in 2021, but it's probably worth more than beating the Shawn Porter's and Danny Garcia's of the world still.

Surely is worth more in terms of Dollar$

Have any Betting odds been posted on this yet? I know they can change a lot between now and August, just wondering.

Even though, I think Spence could stop him. His win over Mikey was an odd one. It was kind of like he was happy to let him see out the fight. I imagine that would be a better outcome for 42 year-old Pacquiao.

I suspect Crawford would have been looking to stop Pacquiao. He often seems like a different animal once in the ring.

I think Spence could stop Pacquiao, but I think he would be okay with letting the legend see the end of the fight.

I might be completely wrong on that, as I don't really follow the WW div all that closely.

A bit too risky for pac. 42, and 2 years out of the ring. I just hope he comes out safe.

He'll be alright. Spence ain't no killer or nothing, just a competent boxer. It'll probably be a reasonably competitive bout that Spence wins by UD.

Excellent fight. If Manny wins then that just means that Spence is shit. If Spence wins then all that means is that he was better than an ancient former flyweight champion yay.

It'll be fun, if the old man wins. All this embarrassing Spence-Crawford situation will be ultimately ruined, promotors will be slapped for their neverending marinating sh!t. Unfortunately, that won't happen.

I think Pacquiao will be the one who dictates what type of fight it turns into. Will Pacquaio play it safe as we've seen more from him as he's gotten older, much like Mikey did. Or will Pacquiao be offensive and go out out on his shield. I feel Pacquaio loses regardless what he brings to the table, but I feel if Pacquaio tries to be too offensive, he may get stopped, if he's more defensive, I see him losing a competitive fight, but one with Spence being the clear winner.

Spence needs to put in a good performance probably stops Pacman with a body punch, or a Pacman quit on stool job.

Prediction:

Manny Pacquiao will be “officially” tested by the commission, with VADA only collecting samples rather than administering them.

We’ll only know for certain that Pacquiao will be tested immediately before and after the Spence Jr. fight.

No one will be able to precisely confirm when Manny had to undergo random unannounced blood-based testing during his training camp, with the names of those who administered the testing being withheld.

Win or lose, I expect Manny to deliver a physical performance that surpasses our expectations.

If you subsequently read any articles conveying the confusion/ambiguity surrounding the level of PED testing Manny had to undergo for the Spence Jr. fight, then please remember the prediction you’ve just read.
