Spence vs Ugas - April 16th

[Spicoli]

This really does feel like the overdue 'super-fight' we've been needing early in this year. Had a couple fall out but this has all the makings of a great clash of style. Has Ugas received any most improved consideration end of last year because he really does deserve it. Just have the slight feeling he's going to have a solid start and eventually find himself a little to still and close up with Spence. I think he can walk to a Porter and Manny but Spence is still a different animal volume power wise.

Then again, over two years out and repaired eye..this could really go either way convincingly.

I am taking Ugas for the following reasons:

1. Ring rust on Spence
2. Errol looked faded vs Danny Garcia two years ago- Ugas will catch him with the same right hands that Danny did
3. Ugas is big for 147- Spence won’t enjoy his usual size advantage

I can see why most pick Spence, and I would agree if Spence was still in his prime. I think Spence has slipped, and the rust sill only exacerbate the situation/ his decline. This is close to a 50/50 fight.

Spot on there. No way to deny rust that long out no matter how much gym time etc. Ugas has that frame too and has shown he's increasingly able to use it, shoulders to gloves. For all the talk of Porter the brawler mauler..it was Ugas forcing the fight in large part. He very well may force a fire fight on Spence early to make Spence feel rust. One I'll actually pay for this here
