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

Great fight. Even though I had Spence beating Pac, Ugas gives any of these guys a hard night so I'm not surprised and won't downgrade his performance.

Pac should retire, he gets all of his roses but I don't think he can beat these guys at the top anymore.

Pac wouldn't have beat a healthy Spence tonight or Crawford. There's no one else to fight now...time to call it a career.

[CornerCutman]

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.

This is an outstanding post and it's spot on, Ugas' amateur experienced showed

Remember the Packard, it is always an excuse.

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

Lol... an obvious bait bro

[KING S.O.G]

Great win for Ugas

[Stuart Chandler]

Yo you have manny up 9-2??? Seriously?

It seems the majority see it as ugas up.

8-3 ugas. Manny needs a ko.

I had it 8/ 4 Manny . But didn’t see the fight just throwing my two sense in .

[Damn Wicked]

Thankfully the judges went on the rob tonight, they called it exactly right. 116-112, in a high level boxing match….thoroughly enjoyable fight. I didn’t see manny get old, I saw manny in there with a highly skilled Cuban who had the size advantage and clearly had an effective strategy…and defence was just beautiful

Ugas would have gave Pac hell at any stage of his career if he fought in the style that he did tonight. Ugas could also give hell to any of the top fighters of the welterweight division. Many people thought he beat Porter.

[SweetPbfAli]

Did Manny lose bad enough to retire or was there enough doubt or room for hope so that he will continue fighting? We know how this works and it usually ends pretty badly.

Good fight, fair decision


I was worried before the fight about Ugas Left Bicep seemingly being injured, thought it would trouble him, but it didnt seem to bother him, however i wouldve liked to see some more left hooks from him bcuz he was a bit one dimensional in his approach, also i dont think he threw a single uppercut haha, also if he wouldve thrown more straight right hands instead of the looping right hooks i think he couldve had Manny in serious trouble, either way he thought well and deserved the victory, big moment for him, congratulations
