[Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs Errol Spence Jr - August 21

[goaldigger]

I watch some vlogs on this fight and one of the vlogs I watched says Manny will win against Spence, and these are the factors that will make him win.

1- speed
2-experience
3-ring IQ (technique)...

The only thing that Spence backer says that he will win because he has a young body and he is hungry, they did not think how many championship fights Manny had and his experience is something that will make him outsmart his opponent.

They both have the speed, experience and a good technique on the court so I doubt on this area but again, I’ll still go for Manny on a unanimous decision because Spence is not an ordinary boxer, he has a pretty good record and he’ll do everything to protect it, same thing with Manny so this can be an exciting match to watch for and I’d hope that no more changes on the date for this match.

Manny has done what other boxers have not done before fighting top champions at the age of 40 I don't want to doubts but I'm realistic about his chances, the fight could go either way, both boxers have a chance if Manny can get that shape he has shown on the Cotto and Thurman fight again he has a good chance, it's a battle of everything you've got for both fighters.
I don't think Spence is hungrier than Pacquiao, it's Pacquiao that is hungrier he could retire after this fight because of his political ambition, and he wants to retire as a champion and still as great as he is.

Neither he lost or win this fight he would be still a Champion but it would really be much better if he would really retire with have the last winning on his career.

When it comes to shape then i dont doubt that even they had been stopped for a while or doesnt have a fight been set due to common or obvious reason which is on pandemic.

For chances of winning then i dont underestimate Errol Spence on this one and i wont be surprised if there would be some unexpected turn of events.

@LFC_Bitcoin - might be better if you add a poll on this thread? So that we can see how many are going to vote for either fighter?

I reckon that Manny will win in the vote because of the Filipino community support on their fighting Senator. But it doesn't mean that it will automatically translate to a victory. I myself are going to vote for Manny and then put a bet on him to win by UD if the odds will be available in favorite crypto bookies.

This is what I love about Pacquiao. He's a true warrior and want to be remembered really as one of the greats. He doesn't duck anyone, takes those chance and willing to fight current elite boxers. About the fight, I think it's not going to be totally easy for both of them.

Errol Spence is very talented and smart. Pacquiao despite his age still look solid against Thurman. It's going to be interesting. Win or lose, Spence is going to be in a dog fight like never before. Got to respect and appreciate both fighters for this fight happening. Who are you betting into heading to this fight? Man, its going to be tight.

[Lorence.xD]

Finally there's a set fight for Manny after 2 years. Errol Spence is a decade younger to him and undefeated, I didnt watch his previous fights but being undefeated means you are a good boxer. While Manny is older, but just like what the saying said age is just a number. He's still fit and capable to fight younger boxers and having many experience is his edge to win this fight.

Anyway just 3 months left before this happen, I hope they give us a good fight.

This will be a good fight, there's a reason why Pacquiao is a People's Champ, he knows how to make a show and I think that it is to be expected. I think the experience is going to play a really big role in this match up, let's just see what happens in this fight.

This has the making of the fight of the year, it has made possible because the Joshua - Fury did not push through and they can pick a good date for the fight that will have the boxing community focus on the fight, I'm sure the ticket will be sold out and the PPV will be a blockbuster, I hope the fight will live up to our expectation.

True but i will not be voting Manny to win in the poll. I'm a big Manny Pacquiao fan but i will put my money opposite him this time around. Many said that Manny still has it to defeat boxers of Errol Spence caliber by i don't think the same. May be Manny can compete until the last round but i just saw Spence winning here as he has the youth factor that is a very important factor in a boxing match.

I think this decision of him fighting Spence is related to politics. This fight will be the talk of the whole Philippines thus rekindle his popularity amongst the Filipino people and at the same time earning some substantial amount of money as many boxing fans will buy PPV to see him fight for the last time.

Hitting two birds with one stone  , what do you think?

You mean Pacquiao needs this fight to be relevant again in Philippine politics? I thought he is still well love there, has there been some change though because of his political stance?

But yes, money is needed by Manny so I guess why he pursue this fight against Mikey Garcia.
Manny for sure will earn a lot of money and help him pursue his political ambitions for higher office.

He is still relevant in Philippine politics, don't get me wrong. If he decide to run again for senator, for sure he will win. For vice-president, he might win but for the Presidency of the Philippines, he will not win if the election will be held tomorrow or next month as he is not popular for that position.

Nothing to lose (considering no damage to his health) for him if he loses this fight and if he wins then the boxing world will be all praises for the Mighty Manny lol.

Did you guys know that  Manny will only get $5 million as a guaranteed purse on his fight?

https://businessmirror.com.ph/2021/05/22/pacquiao-to-get-5m-in-fight-vs-spence-in-august/

Pacquiao’s guaranteed purse is $5 million, a measly sum compared to what he banked during his prime some five to 10 years ago but looked ideal during the pandemic.

This is very small given his legendary status and it proved that he is not after of the money, but a great fight or competition, and with that, I salute him.

That's too small but he has a heart so he fights the best of the best. He earns bigger than that in his last two fights if my memory still serves me right. Yes, big respect for him for accepting the fight despite lower than his usual purse, but a win here could certainly give him a bigger purse in the next fight as he will in the top 1 of that division.

Footing experience, this fight should be an easy win for Manny.

I'm for Manny on this fight I wouldn't just ignore the professional record of Spence because he doesn't have a loss and he's got enough experience as well. I wouldn't say that this will be an easy win for Manny but this could also be the same as other matches that he's got before. I'm taking the note that Spence isn't an easy opponent IMHO.

I don't doubt Spence's experience but we compare his experience with Manny not to even talk of how he has taken down well-experienced young fighters with good boxing records. In spite that it has been a long time since Manny fight in the ring, still expect this fight to be an easy win for him.

I just don't want to be too much confident with his win. He's got a lot of focus today and he's no longer the same as before. Despite his professional record, his opponent also got it and still has no loss. Which means that he has proven himself to be a good boxer too. We can say that the age difference will be favoring for both of them. Manny for the experience while Spence for the age of being younger that's giving him more prowess. Still, I wish Manny to win that much but I just don't to say that it's an easy win.

You are right about the both fighter and I understand your point of view but I believe this will be an easy win for Manny because he always make good use of every advantage he get and I presume about this fight is the same thing that that happened when he fought Thurman replicating itself.

I think we can conclude that Spence Jr. is going to be the favorite on this fight in the sportsbook.
It's our chance to bet on the Manny as an underdog, that 11/4 odds is converted to 2.75, it's a nice odds.

He maybe the crowd favorite for now since many knows that Pacquaio is old already and maybe that can affect his stamina in the fight as well there's so many distraction on him at that time so I will not be surprise to see if many people will be in favor to bet on Spence Jr.

But I will still place my bet on Pacquaio since I want to support him win or lose.

No crypto sportsbooks has listed this yet as they just confirmed this fight. We all thought Mikey Garcia will be the first in line for Pacquiao this year, but it didn't push thru. Will be betting on Pacquiao here and 2.75 odds will be nice. Though Spence is the favorite, but Manny's experience can't be ignored here.

I wouldn't take Spence at his odds of 1.25.. I don't like that to be the value of my money, so yes, Pacman odds is very attractive and that is easy for the bettors to decide which fighter to bet on. I heard on yahoo survey, it's Manny who are in the lead, so this is what happen, people vote for Manny but experts vote for Spence.

I also saw this post on Facebook yesterday, and this fight is exciting. Manny Pacquiao always stay fit for him to box anytime even though he said that he is going to retire at boxing soon. Like always, of course I will bet on Manny Pacquiao to win this fight, age doesn't matter, I mean it's Manny Pacquiao, come on. For sure if his opponents gets cocky and underestimate him, he will pay the price in the ring like what happened to Keith Turman.

Some people say that Pacquiao should have taken an easy opponent for tune-up has he has not fought for 2 years, they say he might come out rusty. However, a boxer Teofimo Lopez says it's good for Pacquiao as he can relax his body and he will be fully conditioned in this fight.

We don't know who is right, but we can find out after this big fight.

If you'll ask me, this fight should be bigger than Mayweather vs Pacquiao, as this is a real war.
