this guy was 16-3 with losses to not very great opposition, never even made it to fringe contender level. retired for 2.5 years, then took a late notice comeback fight vs jamal james

he won that, now is world champ and has a win vs huge named pac on ppv

what other examples are there like this

He beat porter too for mine, so I’m Glad he got this fight he deserved somthing nice. Love to see him get the porter rematch if porter vs craw fall through. Or the Spence fight if he recovers quick.

Hope they don’t feed him to Ortiz or boots ect just yet. They are fun fights, but I think he deserved porter, Spence, or even crawford rather than up and comers.

Think he is a hard fight for anyone with short arms, but long arms would probably wrap around that guard pretty effectively.

I’m not sure if Ugas is one of boxing’s best comeback stories, but I placed a bet on him and made some money. :OhYes:

I wouldn’t have considered risking my money if Ugas wasn’t a bizarrely huge underdog.

Ugas stepped up in his game big time when he moved to 147. His resume is better than people give him credit for. :box:

Well tbh I like how Haymon is taking care of the black fighters and put them in big fights. Ugas is a good fighter as he showed vs Porter and imo they should have a rematch. MP-the legend should retire bc he did more than enough in boxing.

Ugas fought well and beat the man-MP who beat the man in Thurman. So atm Ugas is pretty much the second best ww after Spence, and the facts prove that. :TU:

Not the most epic one, but still impressive. He has been considered a top fighter for quite a while, including recent times, going to the Pac bout.
