I predicted Pac UD Ugas, and got that prediction very wrong. Thinking about it now, I believe I underestimated Ugas more than I expected too much of Pac. He was where I figured he'd be at 42, but I bought into the Ugas being hurt nonsense. Shame on me. He didn't let the left hook go much, though which would be consistent with a biceps injury, clinically. Still, he won with accuracy, timing, and range - he had all three of those working for him throughout.
Major props to Manny though. I tell ya, anyone who's fought or sparred a guy who was just straight up better than you knows how tough it is to stay in there mentally. He couldn't adjust, but he stayed composed and I give him a bunch of credit for that. Because, as much as anyone who's experienced it knows how it feels, it can only be much harder on a legendComment

Exactly. He never had huge power at 147. He ****ed guys up with volume and angles. He had neither tonight, so Ugas handled him pretty easily.Comment
