Comments Thread For: Spence: I Felt Ugas Breaking Down; I Thought Ref Was Gonna Stop It A Lot Earlier

Yes, the fight should have been stopped in the eighth round when the doctor first examined him. By that time he had had enough. I just hope that this loss and injury doesn’t ruin what was once a promising career. Hopefully, he can bounce back and become the same fighter.

The guy is 35 years old - already at the end of his career. Pretty sure he will fight once more then retire. Don't think he will win a belt again, But you never know! Was a great fight by the way...

Many felt spence was breaking down when he was doing that funky chicken dance

Nah! It was just you.

Felt the ref was going to stop it earlier? This is Lawrence Cole. The man now has 2 broken orbital bones of fighters he reffed to his name. Perhaps more? Otherwise, plenty of terrible decisions in fights throughout his career.

This was an impressive win by Spence,But most of us already knew the outcome of this one before it started. I do think having a nutritionist helped Spence a lot.Keeping his weight in check between fights is going to make him even more relentless in the ring. I actually think that could make the difference in the Crawford fight as well. Let's hope these two back up their talk and get it on in the ring.

One thing I'd like to point out. Look up the purses for this fight. 1.5mil to Spence,1 mil to Ugas with a 50/50 ppv split. That's why Crawford re signed with Top Rank. It wasn't to avoid the PBC train,it was because his guarantees were a lot higher than any of those fighters. With Spence having three belts,he should command a slightly higher purse than Crawford.
Lets say 6 mil. to Spence,5 to Crawford,with a 50/50 ppv split. Both should easily clear 10-15mil,which will be by far the highest purse either has made or can make.

They don't want to pay tax on it, most of the money with PBC stars is all on the backend, Errol would get way more than the official purse, there is a lot of merchandise PPV extras that they get, its Floyds blueprint I remember reading where Floyd would get a percentage from hotdogs sold in the arena.

The fight was stopped at the appropriate time. At least when the ref stopped the action the first time to go to the ring doctor, Ugas was actively throwing punches. But by the time the ref stopped the action for a second time to go to the ring doctor, Ugas had become a punching bag....and was not throwing many punches. I know at this point Ugas wanted to finish the fight, but he was taking serious punishment. Ugas is lucky the fight was stopped when it was, and that he only had orbital bone damage.

Pretty amazing how Spence has bounced back from the serious injuries of the car accident, and the torn retina. Looks like we will get the Superfight between he and Bud Crawford. Both have plowed through the ooposition as expected they could five years ago. This will be a great fight ...

Ugas took Spence's shots very well. He would keep taking if his eye let him.
