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

[chaser15]

Going back to the topic, the outcome of this fight would also dictate the possible fight of Crawford, and if Ugas would win, I think it will be easy to make the fight happen because if Spence will win, they'll play the purse sharing issue.

Terrence Crawford is a free agent. After his fight with Shawn Porter I thought he would sign with DAZN right away. Official DAZN fb page was posting a lot of Crawford pictures congratulating his victory over Porter while there was zero PBC or Showtime post. And DAZN is obviously the richest boxing network right now. But lately, there are rumors circulating that PBC is offering Crawford a deal. First he fights Danny Garcia and then later he can have Spence. I am curious though, why the need for Crawford to fight Danny Garcia first before Spence. Crawford is turning 36 next year, not a prime age anymore. So I am still hoping Ugas can pull an upset this weekend.

It's all about business, if he wins against Garcia, then it will create more hype for the fight. And then win-win situation for Spence, being a PBC fighter because it will soften up Crawford because Danny Garcia was a former champion and I think he can make it a tough fight for Crawford. But for now, it's Spence turn to put his foot on that possible fight with Crawford if he will win against Ugas.

Possible strategy to bring good hypes for another big fight. It's possible to create noise if he wins against Garcia. More on business,

and it's understandable that promoters wanted to bring good hypes to attract more interest from fans and those gamblers who mostly

supporting this sport. We will see what will happen after this fight and how it will turn if Garcia and Crawford will set the deal before engaging

to whoever was the winner of this upcoming fight between Spence and Ugas.

As usual in any boxing scene and we just need to watch it.

Possible for clashing each other is always possible but they have to win first in their respective fights.

Of course, without winning their previous fight, there will be no build-up hype and promoters won't likely to push for it if they think it won't be profitable even the fight is necessary to happen.

Yes, he is a free agent now because after he fought with Shawn Porter he didn't re-sign again for the Top Rank for the fact that Bob Arum didn't gave him the a fight against current heavy names in the industry. Although the rumors weren't confirmed if Crawford really had a deal with PBC but Eddie Hearn of DAZN believes that these two had a deal.

Eddie Hearn Believes Terence Crawford Signing With PBC

Maybe Crawford is just waiting for the result of this match, and if ever Spence jr wins, most likely he will sign with PBC an then request for a fight with Spence.

So Spence can't make any excuses because it's his promotional company that are going to insists for this mega-fight. For sure the split might be amicable for both sides and Spence can't run anymore.

I thought about that too and there's a high possibility that Crawford already have a plan to make the fight happen as he already called Spence to fight him numerous times, while Spence on the other hand was busy avoiding Crawford and leaving the people so curious. So, signing with the PBC will indeed make that fight happen. But if in-case Ugas wins then I think Crawford don't need PBC's umbrella for that.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ Yeah, that is a big possibility, wait and see for Crawford right now, and it's a win-win situation. But it also make sense for him to sign with PBC because it is one of premier boxing promotion and they have a complete line up of good welterweight.

And by Spence winning against Ugas, and then Crawford signing with PBC because he wanted to get Spence, then that is a big possibility. But for now, Crawford is going to watch the fight for sure and decide after the fight itself.

[Sanitough]

But for now, Crawford is going to watch the fight for sure and decide after the fight itself.

Crawford had already made a decision and that is to fight Spence, so whoever wins the fight between Spence and Ugas, I'm sure Crawford will challenge the winner and go with another unification fight. People are already predicting that Spence will win, but would that mean a big fight between Crawford and Spence will finally be realized?

If in case Spence will win and Crawford camp will be okay with the possible share, we might see this fight to push forward.

It's just a matter of how both Spence and Crawford's camps will decide. Spence just needs to win this one against Ugas and close the

deal if whatever demands he has in mind. Only then we can conclude that this one will happen.

But if upset will take place, that's another negotiation to be made with the other camp.

Indeed, it's a win-win situation. That's much better rather than just barking and wait for the other dog (Spence) to bark back at him to make a fight happen, and surely PBC can make that fight into reality for him and leave Spence a no choice if ever he will be hailed victorious against Ugas.

For now, let's leave the discussion about it as this thread is for Ugas and Spence.

Yes, it's a big fight if Spence win and then Crawford sign with PBC and make the fight happen. Crawford wanted to see who is the best in the welterweight so he is eyeing Spence. But as we have discussed before, Spence has so many excuses, and the sticking point the split. However, if Crawford signs with PBC in which Spence is also under, then maybe we will this find finally be realized.

For now, let's leave the discussion about it as this thread is for Ugas and Spence.

Exactly, let's discuss other things after this Saturday's fight.

Below are some options, actually my favorites options as most of my boxing bets are coming from this kind of market. Betting on Spence via Decision is not so attractive but for me this fight is money on the bag for Spence but I doubt he could KO Ugas. Your thoughts.

[btc_angela]

Spence by decision is still a good odds at 1.74 (for me above 1.60 is already very attractive but we have different views as a gambler).

So I might take Spence by decision if I'm going to bet on this fight.

I agree that it is hard to knockout Ugas because he has a good chin and if I'm not mistaken, his lost all came from decision.

I hope to see that happening, if that is the only chance Crawford will have a chance to fight Spence, then I think the decision is right, However, as the fight is approaching, Spence should be ready and must win against Ugas. Boxing nowadays has become a big business for most boxers, they value what they can earn more than the fans experience.

Boxing nowadays become a big business for most boxers because the amount that they earn in fight are incredibly good enough rather than earning a daily or minimum wage that's why I didn't doubt that many are inspiring to become a boxer fighter and that every fighter are really working that hard to become strong and great fighter. I am sure that we will see Crawford fighting Spence and I am sure that Spence will going to win this fight against Ugas.

They see it as a big opportunity to make a lot of money, well, if you would ask me, I think they deserved to be paid with big money because they are risking their lives, and as long as the boxing fight is clean (free from rigging), it should satisfy the craving of the fans.

Now, this Spence vs Ugas fight is a big fight, belts are at stake here, so this will definitely gain a lot of support, and with that said, it means money to the organizer of the fight.

yhup ugas has good chin because even Pacquiao power punches he can handle and stunned it, that's why for me in my views probably there's a possibility that this fight will end up by decision if Spence can survive as well and there's no knock out that will happen within 12 rounds in both sides.

Nope, Pacquiao was not able to hit Ugas with his power shots because Ugas was smart enough to block his shots. Ugas was able to maintain his distance by effectively using his jab, which i don't think would work against Spence who is a bigger and taller fighter.

Personally I have never liked fighters that spend their time avoiding other boxers, Spence should spend his time trying to find a way to beat Crawford instead of avoiding him, as this not only reduces his reputation among the boxing community but it also makes him look as someone that has already lost when they have not even fought at all, and even if he was indeed beaten by Crawford at least he would give the fans what they were looking for, which is for the best boxers to fight each other in a mega fight.

I think that Ugas cannot be underestimated in that the  battle, because in the previous fight against Pacquiao, Ugas was able to make Pacquiao quite cornered in every attack made by Ugas, besides that I saw that Ugas also has the ability to neutralize every opponent with his extraordinary jab ability in every fight, and the fight later will be a proving ground for the two boxers who in my opinion have different techniques in fighting, but to be honest, I will really hope if Spence will be able to maintain his KO winning record later.

Ugas should already know that what he did on Pacquiao, might not work on Spence.

We don't have any idea how Ugas will work on a strategy that can possibly beat a much stronger Spence but I'm excited about his game plan.

Even if we see Ugas having a lower chance to beat the hell out of Spence, I'm looking forward that their fight being a close one and not that Spence will be the majority winner of every round.

That might be the reason why some boxing analysts considered Ugas has a chance to beat Spence. After facing Pacquiao, Ugas learned something big and now become more aggressive to the point that he challenge right away a fellow champion Spence Jr. that almost cementing a dominance in their weight class.

Other boxing analysts also see Spence is not the same as before that is why they think Ugas can beat Spence. We will only see if all speculations of these boxing experts will come true once, of course, the fight is now ready to be rumbled on.

A much more powerful and younger Spence, that strategy from Pacquiao can easily break. I'm also excited to see how Ugas will adjust. I would like to see him to be more on offensive and not to focus with his defense and only throw punches to counter Spence attack, it would be great if both fighters will exchange punches and keep doing the counter attack each time their opponent start to be aggressive.

We don't know what preparation both fighters are doing right now. They both need to excel once they meet inside the ring.

The winner will not only grab all the belts but also increase his value on his next coming fight.
