Boxing - Pacquiao vs Ugas (formerly Spence)

[jinda628]

So I noticed no one really talk about this match between Manny and Errol even when Errol withdrew due to an eye injury.
Is Pacman vs Ugas still going to be a good fight?
Who do you guys go for?

I feel like this is a wasted match for Manny. I know Ugas has the belt that was handed to him but would have been better if Manny is fighting either Porter, Garcia, or longshot Crawford marketing/money-wise.
But the prep should be longer than the remaining 2 weeks if it's anyone other than Ugas.

few years ago i would have said pacquaio is getting lined up by bob arum but having changed promoters, im guessing this is a tune up fight for pacquaio and he really shines

Spence was Pacquiao’s Retirement fight. Now it’s going to have to be Ugas.


Pacquiao wants to run for President of the Philippines and this was his last free block of time to train for a fight before election season.


Prediction: Pacquiao wins fight and retires.

Ye I hope he retires after this one. Nothing else to prove anyway.

Ugas is better than he is given credit for. Honestly think he wins.

I feel like the only advantage for Ugas is his age. And Ugas is not a power puncher too. He can try to outbox Manny but it's going to be difficult if he's a lot slower.

Power - Manny
Speed - Manny
Age - Ugas
Experience - I know Ugas is an olympian and has more amateur fights but I still give this to Manny having more fights professionally.

Every sign just points to Manny but your prediction is making this more interesting.

Of Ugas's losses most were very debatable and could be argued he won. Agree that prime Pac mogs him but the age is a big factor.

One more night!

pac's punches have zero effect. ugas looks 2 weight classes above him. pac getting bullied. this may be a wrap.

[HtotheOV]

Pac should retire after this. really showing his age here more so than previously.

way slower

too bad for spence. he lost a huge payday and potentially more fame. it may have been a passing of the torch of sorts

[jinda628]

Well thats it. Guess it's time for Manny to hang the gloves.
I doubt he'll have time to train and fight again since the election in the Phils is in May 2022. He will be busy campaigning when he gets back.
And he's turning 43, perfect time to retire. He's fortunate he didn't hurt himself bad losing the fight.

Ugas looked good I should have bet as I pretty much expected him to win. Shell defense with his long ass arms was solid, Pac just couldn't get inside, because he couldn't move. Feel good for Ugas seems like a good dude.
