Now that we're here after the possible replacement scam has been pulled off right in front of our nose. Let's put some promotion on this fight anyways.
Joshua Clottey is the fighter who gave hell to Miguel Cotto which says this guy is no slouch, he's a quality guy. Same scenario for Ugas, Ugas gave Shawn Porter hell which says that this guy is absolute quality fighter and maybe on his way to elite status. The main difference here is that Pacquiao is 12 years older now.
Both Clottey and Ugas is damn huge welterweights mold physically for modern welterweights like a Thurman, Crawford, Spence, Ennis, Ortiz so forth. Both of them is the proverbial HIGH risk LOW reward fighters. Spiritually, the belt that Ugas carries right now is actually still Pacquiao's, he may have got it technically via the corruption connivance of PBC and WBA, but most boxing fans still recognize that it is Pacquiao's belt and Ugas is just an e-mail/paper champion.
Ugas might have been training for this fight since day one--he actually knows he's not fighting a random Fabian Maidana from the start. Manny's camp is now left with a mere 10-day preparation just like when he fought Ledwahba back in the day, now you add to that the frustration and demoralization about the situation. We might be looking for a HUGE upset here come Aug. 21.
