    Nah, i doubt hes faking it. What i dont like is that pac is fighting ugas. Bad matchup stylistically for Pacquaio. If i was pac i would have postponed the entire event until Spence healed up.

    I suck at math.

    I'm terrible at it.

    But I can do 2 + 2.

    And 2 + 2 = Spence wasn't ready for that smoke.

    There's been an insane amount of footage of Pacquiao in camp. Freddie Roach even pretty much announced the gameplan — ambush Spence and pivot away, attack, rinse and repeat.

    Pacquiao's been brimming w/ confidence for this fight. I think Pacquiao was the most motivated that he has ever been. I think he knew that this fight was about survival (not getting killed or seriously injured in the ring by a much younger and larger man), so I think he adopted a kill-or-be-killed mentality for this fight.

    The only thing that came out of Spence's camp throughout the 6 weeks was the leaked sparring footage of — a small southpaw lighting Spence up. A guy is who is nowhere as crafty, fast, experienced, or powerful.

    I'm starting to think Pac was gonna **** Spence up something awful.

    No. But I was relieved that the Crawford fight didn't happen. And I'd be more nervous about Pac fighting Mikey than Spence. Styles.

    And I've said the same damn thing over and over since fight announcement — Pacquiao would light Spence up for as long as his tank lasts.

    Pac would be too explosive for Mikey, who tends to sit back and try to counter too much. Spence is bigger stronger and could fight different styles.

    Honestly, I see it as a possibility that Mikey KOs Pac like he did Dejan. Pac rushes in lazily, Mikey side steps, uppercut, right hand, goodnight.

    I thought wba already reinstated Pac his belt, so they would be fighting for Pacs belt?

    And nobody gives a shite about belts at this point, specially Pac fighting for a paper belt that he rightfully owns. It’s a goats last fight, his final flash. Ugas is not a worthy opponent.

    The only available footage from Spence's camp were him on the bag, him doing mitts, and the sparring footage. And in that sparring footage, it showed Spence getting worked over by a small rando southpaw.

    It's bull**** Spence had to pull out but an eye injury like that is serious. Provided Spence makes a speedy recovery he could fight pac next year albiet an even older pac... at that point im not even sure it'll be competitive

    Well you basically saying he's faking an injury when the man had a near death experience outside the ring seems like you don't like him.
