More likely outcome: Pacquiao beating Spence or Rigondeaux beating Casimero?

    2 wily veterans and talented southpaws (Pac, Rigo) now past their best, over the age of 40, and fighting against the younger, stronger punchers (Casimero, Spence) this coming weekends. Who do you think has a better chance of pulling off one last big win before retiring?

    I'm one of those that thinks that both fights can go either way, 50/50. It's just hard to know how these 2 fights will go, given the age discrepancy, the risk that both Pac and Rigo will be facing, and just knowing how much these 2 have left. I think both Casimero/Rigo and Pac/Spence will be explosive fights. May the best men win.

    I believe Casimero will get clipped by Rigo. Moruti Mthalane style.

    I expect Rigo to stop Casimero, so that won't be even close to an upset. So Manny-Spence it is. Because even if Manny beats him 8-4 (which I highly doubt), he's probably not getting the nod.

    Casimero's been talking a lot of smack about Rigo saying it's gonna be easy work. I wonder if he's actually that confident or trying to convince himself that he is.

    I hate the rigo vs casimero fight. At this point in time rigo should be fighting a more well known fighter, and casimero should be matched up against another action aggressive type fighter. I see it being a boring UD for rigo, he's going to stink up the place. No way in hell does he stop casimero. Style wise its just a disgusting fight that does nothing for either of them.

    Rigo is much more likely to beat Casimero than Pac is to beat Spence.

    Spence is more consistent and unlikely to beat himself or get thrown off by some adversity.

    That's his style he is called Maangas. Meaning arrogant. Not everyone has to be like Pacquiao. Yeah, in real life he humble guy. But when it's time for WAR. He is not Mr nice humble guy. Casimero, don't play that game.
