Comments Thread For: Spence-Ugas Title Unification in Play; Stanionis Agrees To Step Aside, Will Next Face Butaev

[Doubledagger]

Crawford, Boots, Ortiz all available, Spence fought real hard to get Ugas instead.

For years the Spence fans suggesting everything was Crawford's fault. Well, Crawford fought a PBC guy first like you called for, and now he left Arum like you all wanted. But still Spence doesn't fight him. I can't think any other fighter who gets defended like Spence. When Canelo moves to a new weight, people say "why doesn't he fight the number 1 guy instantly instead of cherry picking?" but Spence has been in the same division his whole career and still only facing the 4th or 5th best guy at the weight.

You're an idiot bro.

This is actually a good thing.

Once Spence beats Ugas, there will no longer be any obstacles between Spence and Crawford. They will fight for undisputed.

This is also a good fight for us to gage just how fit Spence is.

He clearly wasn't 100 percent against Garcia, and not only hasn't he fought since then, but he also had that serious eye injury.

Now we get to see if he is finally one hundred percent and if the eye injury completely healed.

He checks those two boxes then we can finally have the fight of the decade that we all been waiting for, both fighters at 100 percent and no excuses.

Actually much more sensible pair of fights, Stanionis and Butaev need a bit more seasoning and Ugas is the most proven opponent Spence could face outside of perhaps Bud himself. If we ain't gonna see Bud vs Spence or one of the young guns like Boots or Vergil this is about the best that could happen.

Wants no part of Bud right now...

Fellows, things never go as predicted in boxing.

Make my words, we will never get a full undisputed fight at 147. Things just don`t go that way.

How many undisputed fights have been at 147 since 4 belts exist?

ZERO.

And you guys think that Crawford will fight Spence for 4 belts.

Well, it won`t happen, this story won`t go that way, something will happen, Spence will lose to Ugas, Ugas will lose to somebody else, or Spence will move up to 154...

Good fight though was hoping bud vs ugas while spence gets semi warm up even if thurman whose been on vacay for years now yet huge name would sale

Thurman fighting Barrios next month. This is a hell if a comeback fight. Would like him to shake off ring rather first cause Ugas is gonna be a really live underdog. This is a great setup for undisputed afterward

If Spence beats Ugas, and moves up to 154 without fighting Crawford for Undisputed, he's finished! If Crawford demands 50/50, and the fight doesn't happen, he's finished!

[jockpunk]

Crawford finally fought a legit ww since moving up and is a prima-donna when it will come to negotiations with Spence thinking he the A-side, boots and Ortiz have no belts and just started fighting former champions….. Ugas wba super champion can make case for arguably 2nd best ww atm and coming off career defining win against legendary pac which will sell to the casuals, your argument makes no sense besides coming off as a Spence hater

No casuals are buying this fight because of ugas regardless of whether he beat an ancient pac.

[steeve steel]

I think I'm more excited about Butaev vs Stationis! lol Hold on to your ********s, this is going to be brutal.

Luis Decubas Jr, who is Uga's new manager probably have been scratching his head.
As opposed to his loyal guy like Lara, who fully cooperated on whoever Decubas puts in front of him.
And Lara managed to retain his WBA titles for like four years fighting mostly scrubs.
This new guy Ugas is not confident in beating non-established fighters like Lara did.

Spence has no interest in test fights after major health scares I’ll give him that
