Comments Thread For: Ugas: Now That I'm World Champ, I Want All The Big Names At Welterweight

You do understand Spence has a IBF mandatory he has to fight or get stripped. If you think the IBF wont strip him when they stripped Alvarez then you are in denial. What's Bud supposed to do until then sit on the shelf? I'm sure he would be more than happy to KO Ugas for that "Regular" belt and force a situation where the "Super" champ(Pac) has to fight him. Did you know Daniel Jacobs used the regular belt to make the WBA force Golovkin their super champ to fight him?

Canelo wasn't stripped he vacated his IBF Title rather than go to a purse bid with Deryevanchenko's team. In almost every situation the sanctioning bodies will allow a fighter to bypass a mandatory in favor of unification with the understanding that the winner will face the mandatory in their next fight. Also when a WBA super champion is present in a weight division the Regular title becomes the mandatory spot Golovkin had to fight Jacobs or he would be stripped. Everyone knew that.

Wrong.

He ain't no world champ! He's a fraud champ! And delusional!

[MrTyFlex]

I was a big fan of Ugas, until he started thinking he is a world world champ! I'm done...

Thurman or Jaron Ennis ,, Ennis is on the PBC card on 9/19 in a fight I gave him the idea to take on twitter vs Juan Carlos Abreu

[markther]

He should fight Thurman. I’d like to see how he would fair again, against another top caliber WW.

[BlackR0bbb]

He deserved the W against Porter and he took the 0 from both Omar Figueroa Jr and Jamal James.

He deserves a fight against one of the other elites. Pacquiao, Crawford, Spence, Garcia, Thurman, or a Porter rematch. He's a class above Josesito or Lipinets.

No he did not deserve the win against Porter. Ugas is a decent fighter with no power. He will never beat the top of the division. Hell, he won't even last more the 5-6 rounds vs. Ortiz or Boots Ennis.

If you honestly believe that Manny wants to fight Crawford under any circumstances, then I have some nice beachfront property in Wyoming for sale. Manny will fight Spence and Porter on the same night before he steps in with Bud. One of the reasons he left Top Rank is because Bob kept trying to cajole him into fighting Bud. Holding the regular (Read: FAKE) version of a belt is no guarantee the sanctioning body will force a champ to face his mandatory. Did the WBC force Canelo to fight Charlo? Has the WBA forced Lomachenko to face Tank Davis? The WBA never forced GGG to fight Jacobs. Golovkin was trying to fight Danny and Kid Chocolate for years. If anything, Jacobs had to be enticed to fight GGG with more money from the promoters. Don't kid yourself.

This is the least boring of the Cuban fighters but boring nonetheless still a bit boring. He fought well but was almost KOed a couple of times in the fight, specially in the last seconds. If that would have heppenned a minute before, it was lights out vs a tough guy but who was not in the top 10 rankings. Vergil Ortiz demolishes him...

These regular and franchise belts are very annoying........ Respect to Ugas though for being a world class fighter.
