    I could see it being somewhat competitive the first 2-3 rounds but then it’s game over. Spence is too much for this version of pacquiao who will be 43 when this happens. Hopefully he doesn’t get sparked out.
    Spence will get his money no doubt as will Pac-Man but in terms of a competitive fight this is not it.

    Expect spence to be a 5-1 favourite

    I just hope Manny doesn't get hurt bad. I think his age is going to show in this fight and Spence will wear him down.

    Spence is bigger and better than Thurman was and Manny has gotten older. If he pulls it off, then fair play to him, absolute legend. I just think he's too old now.

    Nobody come to fire fight with Manny and come successful or unscratched..
    The only person manage to do that was Marquez and except for one punch came out the worst of it!!

    Spence might win but I think it will be by decision, he boxed against Mickey Garcia ffs..
    at 43, Pac will still be the fastest fighter he face.
    Unless Pac really turn really old by round 6, I think this will go to the cards.

    Pacquiao getting old over night is possible. 42 years old with an explosive style. He isnt exactly Bernard Hopkins.

    However he has experience and is still possibly a game fighter.
    If I were to put money on it it would be a Spence Tko in rounds 6-12.
    But definitly rooting for Manny.

    Team Pacquiao chose spence for a reason they have been in the sport for a long time and see something in Spence fo sure. Spence is beatable.

    Sadly because of Pac's age I don't think it ends well for Him.!!!

    I could see it. If he didn’t hurt Thurman to the body, Thurman may have well broken him down.

    may see an aged fighter who has no energy left to fight back in the late rounds and just gets the towel thrown in, Pac ain’t quitting.

    But if he turns up fit enough for 12, I pick him by decision.

    philipino meat is even better than mexican meat. If he's eating the same meat that he eat vs margarito or vs thurman, spence should be careful.

    If Tom Brady can do it at 43, so can Pac.

    I was totally wrong with my prediction on that fight. Nobody can count out Pac even though he's 43 years old now. I give the fight 50 - 50 this time.

    I'm rooting for Pac but this could be a serious beatdown and definitive retirement for Manny. Only thing is Spences footwork can be lacking and if Manny still has some spring in his step and angles, could make it exciting.
