LAS VEGAS – The Nevada State Athletic Commission has assigned the same panel of veteran judges to a main event for the third time in less than three months.

BoxingScene.com has been informed that the NSAC approved two Nevada-based judges, Dave Moretti and Patricia Morse Jarman, and New Jersey’s Steve Weisfeld to score the Manny Pacquiao-Yordenis Ugas fight Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena. The NSAC also has chosen Russell Mora Jr. as the referee for their 12-round welterweight championship match.

The Philippines’ Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KOs) will challenge Cuba’s Ugas (26-4, 12 KOs) for the WBA “super” 147-pound crown that was stripped from him late in January due to his inactivity. Ugas replaced unbeaten IBF/WBC champ Errol Spence Jr. on less than two weeks’ notice because Spence suffered damage to his right retina that required surgery August 11.

The trio of Moretti, Morse Jarman and Weisfeld also worked the Devin Haney-Jorge Linares match May 29 and the Vasiliy Lomachenko-Masayoshi Nakatani bout June 26.

Morse Jarman and Weisfeld scored Las Vegas’ Haney a 116-112 winner over Venezuela’s Linares in their 12-round fight for Haney’s WBC world lightweight title at Mandalay Bay’s Michelob ULTRA Arena. Moretti had Haney-Linares slightly closer, 115-113 for Haney.

Ukraine’s Lomachenko stopped Japan’s Nakatani in the ninth round of a one-sided, non-title bout at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.

Moretti and Weisfeld had Lomachenko in front by the same score, 80-71, when their fight was stopped. Lomachenko was ahead 78-73 on Morse Jarman’s card when their scheduled 12-rounder ended.

This also will be the fifth time in Pacquiao’s past seven fights that Moretti will have been one of the judges. Moretti, who worked his first Pacquiao fight in March 2005, most recently scored Pacquiao a 115-112 winner against Keith Thurman in Pacquiao’s 12-round, split-decision win in July 2019 at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Weisfeld last worked a Pacquiao fight in April 2016, when he scored the Filipino legend a 116-110 winner against Timothy Bradley in their third fight at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Morse Jarman has not judged any of Pacquiao’s 71 professional fights.

Moretti and Morse Jarman were also assigned to the third Tyson Fury-Deontay Wilder fight, which was postponed from July 24 until October 9. Nevada’s Tim Cheatham will be the third judge when England’s Fury and Alabama’s Wilder fight for Fury’s WBC heavyweight title at T-Mobile Arena.

Mora, meanwhile, will officiate his second Pacquiao bout. He was the third man in the ring when Pacquiao soundly defeated Adrien Broner by unanimous decision in their 12-round welterweight title fight in January 2019 at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
