Comments Thread For: Yordenis Ugas Shocks Manny Pacquiao, Boxes To Unanimous Decision

[Nash out]

Great performance from Ugas, he won 8/9 of the rounds. Pac has lost a bit of hand speed, but a lot of footspeed and reflexes. I think it's time for that much-wanted Horn rematch before retiring. What a way it would be to go out if he could avenge his loss to the Hornet! Nash out.

At first I thought Ugas had some incredible timing. Then I realized that pac was just getting hit with everything. He couldn't dodge those punches even if they came at half speed. I've been saying he needs to retire. That was hard to watch.

Hopefully he retires, he put in a good showing for someone his age and style. He's really undersized for the weightclass and it shows. It's time to retire now.

Ugas wasn’t even that good, just did the same punch over and over again. Pacquiao was terrible

He was pretty good.

His defense was simple, but effective.

He covered his body with his elbows. Kept a close guard. Tucked his chin in.

These are boxing fundamentals.

Threw hard right hands and landed them regularly. Landed jabs regularly to disrupt Pacquiao.

Ugas boxed the way you would want a coach to tell your 8 year old son to box.

Boxing fundamentals are easier said than done. Many pro boxers are unable to keep their mental game sharp enough to actually follow the simple steps of boxing.

I had it a draw.

How!? it was 8-4/9-3, or even 10-2 Ugas, he completely controlled the fight and Pac couldn't get going.

If that's all he needed to do, then that's all he needed to do. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Bad luck Pacman, you did pretty good considering your age and the size and style of Ugas, but I think it's time to hang em up champ.

I'm going to keep it 100 with you BIG, I'm going to be asleep for this event. The undercard has a bunch of come-forward toe-to-toe sluggers, the type that casual fans enjoy watching ; such crude thoughtless violence bores me.

There is a lack of strategy, ring-generalship and defensives excellence to appreciate these mediocre showcase fights. I think I'm going to replay Guillermo Rigondeux make John Riel Casimero look silly one more time.

I actually watched it again yesterday.....rigo's footwork was beautiful, but I feel like his timing and punch selection ain't what it used to be, I saw several openings that he didn't capitalize on
your ugas vs Manny pick happened to be wrong......only show's we're all human.....more power to you bro

For someone who has been in the wars he has and still being fairly competitive at 42 years old with the next generation is still impressive but father time has arrived time to hang them up manny

I told suckas on here that Manny was too damn old and the fight was lame but peeps didn't want to hear it.

I'd like to see Crawford fight Ugas next if Spence don't want it.
