I read that Ugas is a feared boxer in the 147 lbs and no one wanted to fight him. So maybe this is a step up fight for Spence, and after his surgery it looks like he is back to have another challenge and their belts are on the line.
I do hope that the winner of this will fight Crawford for the unification. Hopefully it will be Spence as the hype has been building up for a Spence vs Crawford fight.
IMO, Ugas doesn't make a feared boxer just because he defeated the boxing champion Manny Pacquiao before the man hangs his gloves. Ugas have just defeated Pacquiao by just a small gap in a unanimous decision. His KO rate is that good compared to Spence Jr.
Same here mate, I'm also rooting for Spence to win, aside from that Spence got the height and reach advantage and also Spence's moves will be enough to take Ugas down. Just my opinion.
It's not because he defeated Manny, but this was given by Shawn Porter itself, if I'm not mistaken. Maybe others is right, it's because of Ugas style and length.
And in paper, the fight seems to be 50:50 at this point. We saw how he defeated Pacquiao with his strengths so this is going to be a good matchup. I don't think Spence will KO Ugas though.
