Comments Thread For: Yordenis Ugas Wants To Face The Spence-Porter Winner Next

[Ca$ual Fan]

Little money or interest in Ugas fighting a big name.He just lacks the 'It' factor.

The only 'It' factor that comes up in mind is that he's a Cuban not an American just like Lara, just like Rigondeoux. Lesser opportunities are given to these Cuban people when it's been proven from time to time that they can compete against elite

Rigo was a 2 time Olympic gold medalist,so had something to offer.Ugas is a high risk,low reward fight and he's not a KO puncher. No champ is going to rush to fight him barring a mandatory.

Ugas vs Jessie Vargas.

All 3 names I mentioned are high risk - low reward fighters, that includes Rigo. Why do you think LSC and Frampton avoided him like a plague inspite of being a top 5 pound for pound during his time? Answer - the bolded part

Edit: Sometimes it feels like it has something to do with being a Cuban that they are low-market fighters

If they spoke English,might help.But the Cuban system seems to be very technical, excellent boxers who don't get hit much,but are not exciting.Even Rigo has realised that now and in his last fight had people wondering why he wasn't like that before.

As Cus D'Amato said,“A professional fighter has got to learn to hit and not get hit, and at the same time be exciting. That’s what professional boxing is about.”

Ugas definitely beat Porter

[P4Pdunny]

get him in with Garcia

[Mahdi77]

Ugas lost to Porter who befuddled him with movement and had him eat the jab all night. At times he begged Porter to stand still and trade out of frustration with his movement...lol
