Ugas is not gonna beat Pacquiao.

It is GrandPac who will lose...

I have never liked situations like this at all. You prepare for 6-8 weeks for a particular fighter, watch tons of film, prepare a game plan to execute vs fighter A, but then fighter A pulls out and now you're left with fighter B. All of the preparation and film study is now out the window and you basically have limited time to formulate a game plan for fighter B. Anything can happen and with Manny's age and whole focus on Spence it wouldn't surprise me if Ugas somehow pulls out a W.

I dont know much about ugas

But he's Cuban

He's got to be boring.

And that's why you don't know $h1t about boxing.

Do you know it works both way? Back in the day there's no video or the advance scouting we have now. They used to spar closed doors.

Isn't it true that many Cuban boxers are boring in the pros?

The guy in your avatar, Richar Abril, being a perfect example?

I agree with you it does work both way. However, its more of an issue of the favorite loses rather then the underdog. It doesn't become a story until it adversely effects the fighter that's favored and then the talk of opponents being switched becomes an issue.

Let me guess you'll name 2-3 entertaining Cuban boxers and ignore the 99.9999% of Cuban boxers who are boring as f@ck.

He's from the cuban school of boxing...but you know how boxers get ....we all know they've got to be tough, just stepping in between those ropes. Some guys have to exaggerate that toughness, dial it up to an 11, to leave no doubt . Ugas is one of those guys ...there's gonna come a point in the fight where Ugas is confident that he can take Pac's shots, and will attempt to bully him with macho histrionics ...Pacman has own antics...he'll get hit flush, then raise both his arms up in a "so what, I'm still here" type way

no, I'm going to name two or three boring, and the rest are, 98% are worth watching, like David Morell jr., Yunier Gonzalez, Yoelvis Gomez, Matellon, Jailer Lopez, Jorge Romero, Frank Sanchez, Pero, Fransua, William Scull, Ariel Perez, Neslan Machado, Ramirez, just to mention a few off the top of my head. And before you had, Kid Chocolate, Mantequilla Napoles, Ultiminio Ramos, Jose Legra, Kid Tunero, Black Bill, Luis M. Rodriguez, Kid Paret, Florentino Fernandez, Yoan Hernandez, Juan Carlos Gomez, Yoel Casamayor, Ramon Garbey, Hurtado, Nino Valdes. and did you know that, Sebastian Fundora's father a Cuban boxer, trained him? If you are a dog, it really doesn't matter where you are born. Lara is one of the most elusive fighters I have seen. Guess what? When he has a dancing partner, he can produce fights of the year. Just check perro, williams and hurd fights. If you want to be a truly boxing fan, learn the history of the sport, and don't repeat what or believe, what others with agenda, say or write about a boxer or group of boxers. How do you think the career of Rigondeaux could have turn out if, frampton, quigg, mares and s+, had grown a pair and had fought him?

It is not an issue, the way I see it. Furthermore, it is more like an excuse. Everyone has an opinion, just like pac's fans were saying Marquez got a lucky punch in.
