Manny Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence - August 21, 2021 (OFF)

[Bandog]

WBA have decided they will not re-instate Pac as super champion.

Very surprising move by WBA

Wow this reinstating manny was both financially smart for wba, but kinda the right thing to do. Manny went inactive during the worst of covid, he is a senator, probably had shit to do. Now after covid has settled a touch he is fighting the top welterweight in the world. Should of give him his belt back.

Should never have stripped him.

Did Ugas fight during Covid?

I think all he would have had to do is let WBA know about confirmed plans for a title defense within 18 months. Not too much to ask really.

If either of these guys gets COVID might as well call it a year for boxing.

Thanks for sharing! Even as an old guy, I got goosebumps in different parts of it. Credit to both Porter and Thurman for giving props where due. (personally I think Thurman has a great future after boxing as a trainer) I still can't believe it is going down, but glad it is! Great for boxing.

the great fight that you continually say is a huge mismatch?

It depends on Spence. He foolishly made the Porter fight harder than it should have been. If he goes toe to toe he may get caught like Thurman but will still win due to his accuracy, skill, chin, and volume. He could box and nearly shut Pac out too. I hope we see some of both but no way Spence loses this one. It will be fun to watch.

[Bandog]

Odds will be close enough to make big bucks on Spence.

Sebastian Fundora vs Sergio Garcia to reportedly land on August 21st Spence-Pacquiao card

Back in May, Sampson Lewkowicz revealed that towering super welterweight Sebastian Fundora signed to fight former European champ Sergio Garcia on FOX, and now the fight appears to have a home. Spanish boxing site Espabox reports that the two will square off in a WBC eliminator on PBC’s August 21st Errol Spence Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao card.

Reliable Twitter poster Deuce revealed the arrangement earlier this afternoon. According to Espabox, this is the latest of many potential dates, as they’d previously targeted August 7th.

Fundora (17-0-1, 12 KO) is looking to graduate from prospect to contender against Garcia (33-0, 14 KO), who ran roughshod over Ted Cheeseman in his second of four European title defenses back in 2019. Though obviously talented, the Spaniard has been short on quality opposition lately, making this a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Plus, it should be plenty fun.

Whoever wins will likely have next crack at the WBC title after #1 contender Erickson Lubin. Should the winner of Jermell Charlo vs. Brian Castano this weekend elect to vacate, expect either #4 Fundora or #2 Garcia to face “The Hammer” for the title.

Mark Magsayo to face Julio Ceja on August 21st Pacquiao-Spence PPV

Ceja was last seen battling Brandon Figueroa to a draw in 2019

Manny Pacquiao won’t be the only Filipino slugger on PBC’s August 21st pay-per-view. Mike Coppinger, confirming an earlier report from Keith Idec, claims that unbeaten featherweight Mark Magsayo will meet former super bantamweight titlist Julio Ceja before Pacquiao’s clash with Errol Spence.

As Coppinger states, this is a considerable step up for the 26-year-old Magsayo (22-0, 15 KO). “Magnifico” had all sorts of trouble with Rigoberto Hermosillo last October, and while Ceja (32-4-1, 28 KO) is a career 122-pounder who hasn’t fought since a brutal November 2019 split draw against Brandon Figueroa due to COVID scrapping a planned eliminator against Eduardo Ramirez, he’s a proven scrapper with legitimate power.

Less than a month from fight night, there remain two open slots on the four-fight main card. Towering prospect Sebastian Fundora will reportedly face former European champion Sergio Garcia in a super welterweight eliminator, but we’ve yet to receive official confirmation.

I still can't find any official confirmation of VADA administering the random unannounced blood-based drug testing.

And nor can I find any official confirmation that the testing itself will be performed by VADA (according to their rules and standards).

This piece of information is valuable to determine Pacquiao’s potential competitiveness against Spence Jr.

It’s possible that Pacquiao has been training hard and taking all sorts of PED’s over the last two (without any out-of-competition drug testing being performed), whilst not having to undergo particularly stringent drug testing for the Spence Jr. fight.

I’m not being funny, but the VADA drug testing is the massive elephant in the room that’s not being discussed by fight fans nor the media.

An upset is entirely feasible if Pacquiao has exploited the lack of PED testing, but if the Filipino is clean, then he could end up losing a one-sided fight.

Stop the fascination with peds. They nearly all love it!
Peds or no peds, if pacquiao makes this competitive it’s even more credit to an incredible career in boxing. The career of an all time great career.

he's 42 not 60.

he didn't go duran fat or abused his body binging on alcohol or other drugs.

he definitely kept in shape out of camp.

he always was, still is and most probably will be for quite some time a wiry, shredded little motherfvucker.

that said, if there was no testing, what's the point?

all one can say bout it, is 'pac might possibly have been juicing in his time out of the ring".

who would make such accusations without proof?

can anyone possibly proof it?

i don't think so.

it is what it is.

he will definitely come in tip top shape.

he definitely won't be that stupid to get caught red handed on fight night.

so there is the reason why nobody talks about this topic.

There's something to be said for what Victor Conte mentioned a few years ago. (About if you get caught with peds) He said it is more of an IQ test of a boxer and his team than anything. Only unannounced year round random tests will catch the smart ones.

ya, it's the idiots like luis ortiz who get caught for multiple fights

It's still fair because Spence can take all sorts of PEDs he needs also. Remember, he probably still had ailements from the accident.

manny hasnt failed any more tests than spence has, im sure if there's not strict testing they'll both be juiced to them gillz

I suspect Manny has taken far fewer tests than Spence Jr. has over the last five years or so. And the Filipino probably gets tested less frequently than Errol does per bout.

No proof of that.. Just pure suspecting.

The list is quite long of boxers, former and current that failed the IQ test.

There is a reason I'm sure why the first leg of his training is done in his home country. Floyd finally exposed team Pac by wanting random testing....with their phony excuses. "Prime" Pac never had random testing. Since then, one KO? No testing for Thurman fight? Pac looks "Prime" again. Go figure. Smart team?
