DAVAO CITY -- Former world champion Gerry “Fearless” Peñalosa is predicting that Manny Pacquiao will win by a knockout in the later rounds against Errol Spence Jr. of the USA.
“Pacquaio by late KO, referee will stop the fight or the cornerman will stop it,” said Peñalosa of the GerryPens Promotions, Inc.
That is only the honest opinion of Peñalosa.
“Speed, power and the will to win of Manny will make him win,” added Peñalosa.
He said that he might go to the US to give moral support to Pacquaio.
“Basin adto, para support (Maybe I'll go, for support),” said Peñalosa.
He said that it will be a hard fight for both.
Meanwhile, promoter-manager Brico Santig also thinks that Pacquiao can also win by a knockout in later rounds.
“50/50 close but Pacquaio will win it in 10 rounds,” said Santig of the Highland Boxing Gym.
