[Boxing] Errol Spence Jr vs. Yordenis Ugas 3-Belt Welterweight Unification Match

[LUCKMCFLY]

He needs to think fast while inside the ring, and have alternatives with the techniques.
If one doesn't work, he should easily switch to another one. Otherwise, Spence Jr will win easily.
Being the underdog here, he should be more aggressive to show what he's got.
KO or not, he should think strategically to get ahead of the game, otherwise, those 3 belts are gone.

Too many strategies will just ruin Ugas' fighting style. Why not just enhanced his specialty? No need to switch.

The goal is to get the most points per round. KO should not be the target as Spence is a big wall that I think no way to be KO even against Terence Crawford.

These boxers already know what to do once they fight each other. We should have to watch.

I think the same, there is a slight possibility that there could be a KO but Spence must have already studied the fighting style of UGAS, obviously as I said before, the best reference of this boxer was when he fought with Pacquiao, but despite all this Ugas has a very explosive style and if he goes out with that thought and tries to look for a KO, the moment will come when he will be extremely tired and any strategy will be difficult to carry out, when the energies in boxing run out it is very difficult to recover them, because That is why I insist a lot that the key to winning a fight is thanks to your training, the harder it is, the better.

When the fight go the distance, it is now the question of how can you outlast each other. As both fighters are already tired and wasted, usually, they can make a mistake in those last few rounds. So they should really finish this fight as early as they can. I believe, Spence Jr will still emerge as winner here but we can't totally disregard Ugas' strength as he is fighting not only for himself but the flag that he carries..So I think, Ugas has better motivation between the two.

At the Pacquiao fight, Ugas was a counter puncher and just waiting for Manny to get inside and make mistakes. And that is a very effective strategy as he pile up points every round. Not to take anything from him, but the cramps Manny suffered during the fight help him out.

But it could be a very different Ugas against Spence. So Spence shouldn't rely on that fight alone. He should be prepared at any angle, any strategy that will Ugas used against him because if he reference the Manny fight and then Ugas changes his stance, it will be very different then and he might not be ready for it.

The fact that Spence is an undefeated boxer, he surely already knows that thing and is aware that he needs to expect different strategies that Ugas might pull off on the day of the fight. Ugas is very hungry to win and still has the adrenalin to be aggressive since he won against Pacquiao. The fuel of Ugas is just pumping up and will unleash on the actual fight.

While Ugas is thinking of the best and most effective method, Spence also doing the same.

Their respective strategies will clash less than 3 weeks from now and I'm very excited about who will win.

It's interesting if how both fighters will adjust using different strategies to surprise one another, Spence as aggressive might change to defensive while Ugas as we see him from that last fight is very good in defending himself and converting counter punches, maybe he will be the one that will attack most to attract Spence to open his defense.

We will see what both fighters will bring inside the ring within less than a month, a winner take all fight that will bring more hypes
to the winner's popularities.

[agustina2]

Good point and I'm thinking the same. Spence might shift to defensive if he sees Ugas can stay away from his offensive actions.

On the other hand, Ugas's defense is hard to break but there are no points counted in defense and that will make Ugas also shift to offensive if he sees Spence is not doing more punches.  In the first place, he can't counter if there's no countering.

We should expect a different strategy that both boxers will show us on their big day.

Boxing world is very excited of this fight, we will finally see Spence again in action against a tough and durable Ugas. Spence is clearly the favorite, but it's going to be very difficult fight as Ugas has the experience as well and have a good trainer behind that will help him strategizes against Spence.

Yeah, just 3 weeks and then boxers unwinding their training, will go out and face the boxing press and express their thoughts about the fight. And the during the fight night, we will see if Spence can live with him being the betting favorite or Ugas will pull an upset.

After almost 2 years away from the ring, we will see Spence back and will try to add more belts in his resume.

Ann so with Ugas, after beating Pacquiao the eyes of mainstream medias will be more on him. Both sides are capable but bookies favored

Spence as favorite and if not all, fans most will also follow that, currently Spence @ 1.19 for the ML. Good news for Ugas backers they

can enjoy @ 3.85 ML great value with this kind of high-risk bet.

[goldkingcoiner]

I don't find it hard to predict because the betting odds clearly say that Spence is the heavy favorite. It's only hard to believe if you believe that Ugas has a decent chance of winning, if not, then you know who is gonna win the fight.

Unless you have determined a pro-win for one of the boxers then you will judge the exception for the opponent, the prediction was exactly in the Ugas vs Manny Pacquiao match in the last match, because there was no chance for Ugas to win, but in the end Ugas won based on numbers. I'm still neutral in judging the two boxers, maybe I can determine the potential winner after fighting after three rounds.

I would not say there was no chance for Ugas to win in the Ugas vs Manny Pacquiao match. Although I really have to give respect where respect is given, Manny Pacquiao did defend his WBA welterweight title. Ugas may have thrown roughly half as many punches as Pacquiao, but his blows were more precise and more effective. So I would not call that "no chance". Ugas quit boxing for two yearrs halfway through the last 10 years, but revitalized his career and then got his best chance by earning his 12th victory in his last 13 fights.

Can't call that "no chance"

Even though his not a solid puncher having 12 KOs out of 27 wins but making victory speaking with points is really still crucial.This man is indeed throwing off punches on precise manner
Its true that he might have some break but having that comeback did  really prove out that he could still able to make some good damn fight which is really respectable.
against Spence? This is not pacquiao on where most people do tend to compare which it would really be a hard wall to be break if you do ask me.

That depends on what your understanding of what a solid puncher is. A solid puncher, should he have strength, swiftness or accuracy behind his punches? Out of those 3, I would dare say that strength is the smallest of the three factors in terms of importance. I think it would do better to say Ugas definitely knows how to aim his lightning speed punches at the right moment. And to be honest, thats all that counts. Strength behind the punch is important but it still won't help you win against a faster opponent who knows where to hit.

Speed is a big factor on winning up on any sport which is definitely right because power wont really be that effective if your opponent is much faster than you and much better when it comes to technicalities
on when and where to hit and repeat on the same tempo until he had making out more points than you.Knocking the opponent isnt always the target.

Training Camp from both sides already watching those previous fights of their opponents, scouting what would be the best strategy to use in order to win the fight, I mentioned that the chance that these two fighters will shift strategy to surprise their opponent, we never know how Ugas will adjust if Spence will not attack him, there are no points in defending yourself just like what you have said.

We will know if there are changes once we see them start throwing punches, hope to see more aggressive fight and not a boring one.

[mirakal]

He needs to think fast while inside the ring, and have alternatives with the techniques.
If one doesn't work, he should easily switch to another one. Otherwise, Spence Jr will win easily.
Being the underdog here, he should be more aggressive to show what he's got.
KO or not, he should think strategically to get ahead of the game, otherwise, those 3 belts are gone.

That is if the fight will go to the distance or both of them could survive the early to mid rounds before going 9th to 12th round, but I really think that is unlikely to happen in this fight as surely Spence will go and exhaust Ugas in the early rounds to gain the advantage but he still have to be careful as the latter is also extremely risky and known to upset heavy favorites because maybe in this match, we might see it again.

Well, yeah. But in this specific case I think we can assume the goal is to go for a K.O., basically the hardest and fastest win. Amazing speed, speed which overcomes the speed of your opponent, is the first step towards getting that first hit in any fight. The faster fighter gets the first hit in. And that first hit could be a K.O.. Basically, this adds a substantial improvement to the winning probability of the fighter who hits first.

I might not be a boxxing professional, but that much is certain.

But one thing for sure here is, Ugas won't be able to KO Spence. In case Ugas won this fight, that will be thru Decision and a risky one for him since the judges might side with Spence. Ugas needs to make sure completely that he is winning most rounds. There will be a time that a KO win might happen but for the safe side, getting more points should be his priority.

On the business side, Crawford and Spence are expected to make lots of money. If only that wasn't anticipated, I might think that judges will be fair on this fight.

Ugas is not just fighting against Spence, he is also fighting against the judges.

[Ziskinberg]

But one thing for sure here is, Ugas won't be able to KO Spence. In case Ugas won this fight, that will be thru Decision and a risky one for him since the judges might side with Spence.

I agree with that, Ugas being a clever boxer now would not just attack without ensuring the defense. I think he would do the same strategy against Pacman, making sure Spence would not be able to hit him hard so he can continue to make it a long fight and just wait until the judges makes their decision.

I'm not sure if we can still expect the same strategy he used over Pacman. Spence is not a small guy like Manny, so the could not use the jab to score because Spence is an aggressive fighter and if he can find an opening, he would not hesitate to attack.

Try watching the last fight of Spence, we all know that Porter was a brawler, and look what happen, Spence give him his game and still beat him.

I doubt it, his trainer knows better, every fighter is different, there is no one size fits all strategy. Besides, Manny is already old had cramps that's why his game plan is also different.

I thought Manny does not lose because he is old, it's just that the cramp killed his movement so he could not use his quickness.
IMO, Thurman is even way better than Ugas and yet Pacman beat Thurman.

It's good that you mentioned Spence performance against Porter. Because the camp of Ugas is saying that is that Spence is no longer the same after the Porter fight.

Let's see about that, they have a point though because Spence beat Porter via split decision which is unusual to him.

I'm not really sure what the trainer of Ugas has seen on Spence during the Porter fight. But we has able to knock him down and win a very close fight. Of course, as fighters step up the plate and competition, it's going to get harder and harder.

So we will see if the trainer is right, maybe it will not be the same Spence because of the accident and or the eye injury.

[erep]

I doubt it, his trainer knows better, every fighter is different, there is no one size fits all strategy. Besides, Manny is already old had cramps that's why his game plan is also different.

The strategy in the match will always be different even though the trainer will apply the same strategy as an opportunity to win, in fact it is more accurate when matches such as the Ugas vs Manny fight take advantage of the age factor to continue to attack rather than defend, but fighting with Spence must be prepared with the right strategy because Spence younger than him.
