Claressa Shields Breaks Down Pacquiao vs Spence

One of the great fights of the summer will without doubt be Errol Spence vs Manny Pacquiao in the welterweight division.

A bout that will test both fighters in many ways.

Can Pacquiao still produce the magic even at this age?

Against such a younger, stronger and more in prime competitor in Spence?

Individually both boxers will bring key strengths to the bout.

Women’s boxing star, and all round fight star, Claressa Shields gave her take on what she thinks Spence needs to do.

Speaking to Fight Hype

“He got to be in top shape. He got to let his hands go. He got to watch out for the angles I think he has to have good quick eye. Look Pacquiao is 40 or 41 or whatever but that dude train and he still works out a lot and he is fighting for a lot. So I think he is not letting age get to him. So I think that Errol needs to just be sharper than him and have his eyes open.”

The fight is set for later in the summer in August in Las Vegas.
