Pacquiao is going to have a lot in his arsenal. He’s got a lot of experience, quick footwork, fast hands, power.”
“It’s not an easy fight but I just feel that Spence is a fighter that can make the adjustments well and figure out what works and what doesn’t. I think he is going to win but in a good fight. I don’t think he stops Manny, a lot of people think he’s going to stop Manny – I really doubt that. I don’t think he stops Manny. It’ll go the distance.”
