    You're going to find another "sport" where no one gets injured". Golf, maybe?

    I know Ugas is on a big disadvantage here, but isn't Pac's training against a southpaw also down the drain?
    I mean he ain't going to suddenly spar hard with orthodox fighters this close in a fight?

    "Unified Welterweight Champion Errol Spence, Jr. was forced to withdraw from his blockbuster FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View showdown with eight-division and former welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, August 21 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas due to a retinal tear in his left eye."

    Well, this isn't a Fury type injury. It's a real issue.

    As far as I am aware just like Pacquiao I am not aware of Marquez failing any drugs test. The only thing in his system is that he drinks his own pee. Disgusting sure but not a banned drug or substance. Nothing lucky about the punch as he was looking for the counter right all night. Don’t forget he floored Pacquiao twice in that fight. The first time heavily in round 3 and the final time he put his lights out hardly lucky. The truth is every time they fought he had Manny’s number stylistically which confirmed to me Floyd would kick his ass because Floyd does everything Marquez does just much better.

    Relieved?

    **** no.

    I'm angry.

    I'd be relieved if it was Crawford, TBH.

    Spence discovered that he had a torn retina during a pre-fight medical examination by the Nevada State Athletic Commission in Las Vegas on Monday. He flew back home to Dallas, Texas on Tuesday and will have surgery to repair the tear on Wednesday. Spence is expected to make a full recovery and return to the ring.

    Well in football, your team plays every other week, injured players or not.

    In boxing, we wait for 2 years whilst being taken through a rollercoaster of opponents from Mcgregor to Mikey to spence to Ryan to Crawford back to Spence. Only for it to be cancelled and then you get the fight that literally, out of 8 billion people on the planet, 0 have asked for - Pac-Ugas.

    honestly would be more interest in Pac-khan, Pac-tank, loma, charlos, Floyd rematch, Logan fkn Paul, Mcgregor on a wheelchair, whoever, not fkin Ugas.

    I may have just given myself a detached retina by smacking my own forehead.

    :facepalm:

    I cant stand Spence but the logic behind this duck talk is ridiculous

    This was his passing of the torch type fight, why avoid it when it benefits him so much and pays so well?

    Guys injured, i cant see anymore to it

    I agree with a lot of what you say however while he was training as hard as he could etc I felt he would get desperate in the fight which would lead to him getting caught. Manny is a great fighter but this guy Spence is the wrong opponent at the wrong time for him. Peak Pacquiao I would still pick Spence the most physically dominant Welterweight since another favourite Felix “Tito”Trinidad.

    I get it.
    Spence finally got the advice from Floyd.
    Duck him until he's old enough for you to beat easily.

    you don’t hire a PED expert and then try to conceal his identity, then turn up on fight night with bacne and suddenly knocking Pac out with same shots u landed 3 fights previously. Use some common sense.

    Floyd ran from Pac for 13 rounds. Only ass kicked was his when Pac hurt him twice and his dad told him to stop running.

    you don’t do that much hugging and running and “kick someone’s ass”. Ruiz never kicked anyone’s ass despite his wins.

    people actually thought Floyd would stop Pac because “counter right hand counter right hand” lol. Only one who got countered hard was him.

    Floyd could not miss Pacquiao with his right kept making him miss and made him pay. Floyd is Pacquiao’s boss inside and outside the ring as he promotes him.
