Comments Thread For: Josh Taylor Claims He Dropped Ugas in Sparring, Ugas Furious Over Claim

[South Champion]

I'm not a fan of people bragging about "wins" they get in sparring sessions.

But after Ugas denied it, he gave the claim validity by accusing Taylor of cheating in sparring by using smaller gloves. Sounds like the knockdown happened.

This fight seems unlikely, but it would be a good match up.

Fight the guy. You talk too much.

What ever happened to Abril? He was a hell of a good fighter which such nice skills.

[factsarenice]

A while back I had heard that Taylor dropping Ugas and frankly, I never questioned it. Styles make fights and Taylor's style is all wrong for Ugas, It's also one of the reasons that had me believing that Manny would walk right through Ugas.

I believe it. He first complained about the smaller gloves that Taylor had on.

[Angeljuice]

His glove probably touched the canvas or his knee. He probably popped right back up but anybody in the gym would call that a knockdown. The guy who knocked him down wouldn’t make a big deal about it in the gym but in their mind they’ll always feel that they got one on the guy.

You've come to a conclusion based of pure speculation and made up "facts". Not too bright.

Rather see him vs crawford than ugas. Im a believer in $ ugas is underrated needs another big name aka keith thurman while keith if wins belt big name belt equal now cause thurmas loves the mic u got a self promoting champ media likes thurman meaning the push thurman vs spence or crawford bigger fight now n push via media. Ugas with thurman name on resume gets mainstream respect now upping respect awarness and eyes upon major fights now of ugas vs spence and crawford.

So what? Greg Page knocked Mike Tyson down hard during sparring, before Mike lost to Buster Douglas.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Lol, I am up for this one if it could be made.

Taylor gotta leave Top Rank.

[Get em up]

I think Taylor could give Ugas a good fight and probably win but I'm not sold on him beating Crawford.

[Theosis26]

I believe Taylor honestly, though he probably should have keep it to himself. I think he would beat Ugas, dont know about crawford though
