Spence vs Ugas - April 16th

[Ron Swanson]

If Spence is still the same fighter after the crash and operation as before then he will win. Otherwise he is in for a hard time.

I think Spence wins because whenever Manny picked up the pace of the fight and throwing combinations he was winning.

Ugas kept him from picking up the pace most of the fight by stuffing a jab in his face.

True but a younger and fresher version of Manny would have done enough to beat Ugas.

Boxing sensation Errol Spence Jr has teased that he could go after the early knockout against Yordenis Ugas next weekend.

At AT&T Stadium on April 16, Errol Spence Jr and Yordenis Ugas will meet in a blockbuster welterweight showdown. Spence is putting his WBC and IBF welterweight titles on the line whereas Ugas is bringing the WBA (Super) welterweight title to the party.

It’s the kind of collision that Spence is favoured to win but at the same time, Ugas proved in his last outing against Manny Pacquiao that he’s not afraid to upset the established order.

During a recent podcast appearance, Spence was pretty open when discussing how he thought the fight might play out.

“Ugas is a tough fighter. You saw when he fought Shawn. He was waving for Shawn [Porter] to come in, and he was getting pumped up. So if I get the same Ugas that want to trade and fight, it could be an early knockout.”

“If you can outpoint me and beat me, I’m going to make it a dog fight and we’re going to go to war.

“So if I can beat you and outpoint you, that’s what I’m going to do. I feel like he accomplished his American dream and isn’t as hungry as he was. We’ll see.”

It’s been years in the making and while many still don’t think we’ll see it, Errol Spence Jr himself has suggested that a long-awaited superfight with Terence Crawford is next if he gets past Ugas.

We all know that looking beyond an opponent with Ugas’ talent is a foolish thing to do in this sport but it’s hard not to be intrigued by the potential Spence/Crawford holds.

When asked about the prospect in the same interview, ‘The Truth’ told it like it is.

“I already told them what I want [Terence Crawford]. It’s easy for me to make this weight. I’m older now, I’m not young like I used to be, and losing eight pounds in a day is not easy.

“I told them this [Crawford] is the fight I want, and after that, I’m moving up. It’s two more fights, Ugas and Terence and then it’s over for me. I’m going up.”

Finally caught the 24/7 on Showtime and pulling for Spence even more. One of the most low key no frills matter of fact top fighters I've seen in recent memory. Respect Ugas and hard journey traveled..the man loves his bling and high end watches ..but the more I see him with that head on the line and stepping in on that front foot can see Spence doing some very brutal work with the rolling uppercuts at some point. Have the feel this is going to be a really fun scrap.

Errol Spence Jr confirms he’ll ‘definitely’ go after knockout win over Yordenis Ugas

Boxing sensation Errol Spence Jr has said he’s ‘100% confident’ about securing the win against Yordenis Ugas this weekend.

After weeks of intense build-up, Errol Spence Jr and Yordenis Ugas will finally collide this weekend at AT&T Stadium in Texas. The pair will fight for the WBC, WBA (Super) and IBF welterweight titles in front of a capacity crowd with both men hoping to cement their legacy amongst the greats in the division.

Ugas is coming off the back of a nice win over Manny Pacquiao, whereas Spence is putting his unbeaten 27-0 record on the line against one of his most dangerous opponents to date.

There’s a lot at stake here and with some fascinating possibilities being on the horizon for the winner, you’d have to imagine it’ll be quite a fascinating affair.

In an interview leading up to fight night, Spence Jr spoke candidly about what he’s aiming to achieve on Saturday.

“It means everything to get a response like this in Dallas. It’s getting me pumped up. I’m ready to go. I’m ready to fight. I’m ready to put on a great performance in front of my hometown crowd. It’s eat or get ate. That’s all it is on Saturday night. Eat or get ate. Of course I’m going to win. But I’m going for the knockout,” Spence said.

“There’s nothing to elaborate on when I said I’m going for the knockout. It’s what I said. So if I get it, I get it. If I don’t, I don’t. I know one hundred percent I’m getting the victory, but I definitely want to knock him out. It’s a blessing and a dream come true to get the support of your hometown. People are coming out here to support me with their hard-earned money during a difficult time. It’s a school night and people came out to support me and I really appreciate it.”

For years now fans have been dying to see Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr battle it out in what has the potential to be one of the best fights of this era. They’ve been circling one another for a long time and if Spence can edge past Ugas, the fight is right there to be made.
