Yordenis Ugas Eyes Ring Return Next Year, Targets Keith Thurman, Jaron Ennis, and Vergil OrtizYordenis Ugas might not have that big hype named until he beats Manny Pacquiao and got his best ever title in his entire boxing career, the WBA SuperWelterWeight title that becomes his ticket to fight in an unification match against Errol Spence Jr. who prior to their fight, holding the IBF and WBC welterweight titles. Unfortunately, he failed to win in that match and the direction of his career becomes unclear.
However, he is looking forward returning to the ring next year and some of his targets are Keith Thurman
(who didn't fight have an official fight for 31 months but still managed to win unanimously against Mario Barrios on February this year), Vergil Ortiz and Jarron Enis.
Not expecting much from him but good for him to make some money before retiring.
This will help Thurman in case the negotiation take place, a good comeback or motivation if ever he beat Ugas who beat Pacquiao who eventually beats him, the moral that Thurman may gain here is something that might push him more to come back and challenge a title holder, though it's not an easy fight as we have seen Ugas and his defensive tactics, too early to though and still needs to wait for any updates if ever a fight for Ugas will take place.
On the money side, it's a good move from his camp, if ever that he or they are planning for his retirement, having a great fight
can bring him a decent amount of money, especially if the promoters will take care of the advertisement.
A fight against Thurman would be great, and I think Thurman will win and that would make him one of the top contenders to fight the champion. Imagine, if the fight of Spence vs Crawford will not happen, then we can still see Thurman fighting one of them if the promoter will agree.
I'd say it's 50/50
Thurman lose against Pacquiao, but Ugas won. Ugas lose against Porter, but Thurman won.
I think the lose from Spence before will giving Ugas a good lesson because this is the first time he got KO'ed and would make him to improve his chin. However if the fight will happen, it's not surprised if Thurman will be favorite because he have better record.
Thurman have that capabilities it's just so happen that Pacquiao manage to bring him down from the early rounds of their fight but we have seen him fighting back though not enough to impress the judge and the fans, but if ever that they'll be able to push this possible fight, I agree that bookies will favor Thurman here, fan base maybe he will get that edge.
