Pacquiao vs Spence officially announced, fighters have first face off
The world is surrounded by negative news, but this news will blow your mind off. It is an impending exciting boxing fight between Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr. Let's check it out!
When is the big event?
Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr appeared today to officially confirm the fight on FOX, and they treated each other with respect.
They will fight on August 21 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on FOX pay-per-view, given Spence's WBC and IBF welterweight titles as well as the Ring Magazine welterweight title.
What prompted them to fight?
Pacquiao, 42, explained his decision to fight “There was a lot of opportunity to pick a — not easy fight, but a much easier fight compared to Errol Spence,” “But I decided to pick Errol Spence because I want to give a good fight to the fans, I want a real fight. I’m a fighter and boxing is my passion.”
After July 2019 when Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KO)conquered Keith Thurman to win the WBA title, he hasn't been to the ring. Consequently, his recognition as WBA “super world” titleholder was superseded by Yordenis Ugas. He considered this big fight as a contribution to his being a Hall of Famer.
Spence (27-0, 21 KO) is in his heyday and is currently regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters. Some may exert pressure on him to sweep the older and smaller Pacquiao, who has only been defeated once over the last twenty years (the time when he was defeated by Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012). However, he is still optimistic that he can defeat anyone, including Pacquiao.
Mike Tyson makes prediction
Who is Mike Tyson?
New Yorker Tyson (50-6, 2 NC, 44 KOs), 55 years old, is regarded as one of the all-time excellent heavyweight boxers. When he swept Trevor Berbick at the Las Vegas Hilton in November 1986, the 55-year-old became the world's youngest heavyweight champ. He retired in June 2005 after losing three of his last four fights, involving disappointing failures to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.
His prediction about the Pacquiao vs Spence fight
Mike Tyson has some forecast for Manny Pacquiao's eagerly awaited fight against Errol Spence Jr, and it might amaze some boxing fans.
As mentioned above, on August 21, Philippines boxer plus politician Pacquiao, 42, will fight WBC and IBF welterweight champion Spence Jr.
Mikey Garcia, a Filipino senator, has doubted whether Pacquiao still has the willpower to compete with "the youth, the size, and skills" of Spence Jr.
Tyson, on the other hand, has denied underestimating him entirely. In fact, 'The Baddest Man on the Planet' admires Pacquiao and believes he has a good chance against 'The Truth.' When questioned if he thinks the famed 'Pac Man' can defeat Spence Jr next month, he responded via ESNews. "It’s going to be a good fight.
"You can't rule out Pacquiao because he beat Thurman. I think Pacquiao, he beat Keith Thurman.
"Pac can move and s---, and that can mess you up, that's what f---s everybody up, he's all over the place."
