[aicheligad]

Probably 4-1 Pac on Weisfeld/Moretti card.

[lazboy]

Manny is looking great!

Rd 5 - This is setting up for Ugas so far. Another good round and close.

10-9 Pac
48-47 Pac

But it is looking good for Ugas.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ugas doing really well.

[KiwiRider]

Ugas fighting so smart, not getting dragged in, biding his time with the eye catching shots and making Manny land on his gloves and forearms.
5-1 'Ugas

[skanksta]

4-2 Yordenis the Menace.

[ironbeard]

Rd 6 = close rd. Too close for Ugas.

10-9 Ugas
57-57

[lazboy]

Again, I think MAnny "looks" great but how effective are his shots? Seems to be missing the mark more often than not; however, it's keeping Ugas defensive.

[aicheligad]

Śhit, i forgot to bet on a draw.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Half way thru.

Imagine what Spence would have done.

[skanksta]

PacMan is struggling a bit.

The only way I can see him sweeping the 2nd half of the fight - if HOF trainer Roach says something insightful and inspiring, like,
"Lions in the Camp!"

That should do it...

[aicheligad]

In a fair world, Pac would need a KO (which he isn't going to get as he lands almost only on the Cuban's guard).

[KiwiRider]

Manny just can't land on this guy, he is either coming up short or getting blocked.
The best 3 punches of every round bar the 1st have all been Ugas.

[ironbeard]

Rd 7 = another too close rd for Ugas.

10-9 Ugas
67-66 Ugas

[lazboy]

Ugas is blowing it. He's being outworked by the older man. Too much waiting.

[KiwiRider]

Shades of Hughie?

You reckon judges will score him down on that?

He controlling the pace

[KiwiRider]

Man I am super glad its not Spence in there

Pac won round 1, that's it.

Shades of Joe Hughes !

It's incredible that Manny/Joe can compete at a high level, but they can't really win.

[ironbeard]

Rd 8 = every one of these rounds could go either way.

10-9 Ugas
77-75 Ugas

[gregregegg]

Ugas has such a massive guard. his forearms are like 2 feet long. mannys little reach has no way around.. making it very hard for manny. but who knows how the judges have it.

I really do. So it will be controversial no less.

Yeh, noticed Boxing Scene have it even.

[Ruthless-RKO]
