This is the funny cycle boxers go through....... They conplain about being ducked till they reach a certain level then do the exact same thing the ducker was doing.

Thurman did the exact same thing till he reached the top, now Spence doing it

Sounds like Ugas is never getting a shot.

He did get a shot, and he blew it:

Porter beats Ugas to retain welterweight title
March 9, 2019:

CARSON, Calif. -- In what was a highly unpopular decision Saturday night, Shawn Porter retained his WBC welterweight title via split decision over Yordenis Ugas. Porter won by scores of 116-112 and 115-113, while the third judge had Ugas winning 117-111.

As Porter was announced as the winner, loud jeers could be heard throughout Dignity Health Sports Park, as this was a verdict that will debated for quite a while.

Neither Porter nor Ugas really took control of the fight for long stretches. Many of the rounds could've gone either way, as Porter decided to box from the outside, while Ugas (23-4, 11 KOs) controlled the center of the ring.

The problem was that neither could sustain an offensive attack. At various times, the rather sparse crowd voiced its displeasure at the lack of action.

You can't come into a title fight, already having 3 losses, and then be cautious! Now, with 4 losses on his resume, he needs a rematch with Porter, or the fight with Bes***** that the WBA ordered in December 2019. Hopefully he's learned his lesson!

Boxing isn't even back yet, and Spence is already naming off guys he's going to duck.

Blew it? Most of us had Ugas winning on the scorecards. Was a BS win for Porter because they wanted the Porter/Spence fight.

I wanted Ugas to win, but he got complacent, and wasn't on the attack. He fought like he was the Champ, and not the Challenger! He does deserve a rematch with Porter, but he does not deserve to get Spence before Danny Garcia, who is Ranked # 1 by the WBC.

The same goes to you Spence. Nobody knows who you are.

With the exception that Ugas already has a loss to Porter (he actually has 4 losses), and Spence was undefeated.

And we can all agree he’s improved massively no? Enough to arguably beat Shawn Porter.

[mxtali]

lol he is doing what he accused thurman of. remember when keith was saying spence needed to become a name? (or something similar along those lines)

in the end, hey are all the same.

All of the “boogeymen” always go the same route. And you can’t blame them but they expose all of the fan double standards. Keith Thurman got hell from the PBC crowd for instead fighting Porter, Garcia, and Pacquiao. And now Spence is looking for the bigger fights as well. Of course Garcia is a better fight for Spence, Ugas is just as dangerous but much less reward. But I don’t expect the spence fans to turn on him the way they did Thurman.

exactly and where’s the outcry from the PBC crowd like there was for Thurman?
