WBC/IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr is a -550 favorite to rip the WBA welterweight belt from the waist of WBA ruler Yordenis Ugas (+400) on Saturday night in Dallas.
Also in the most evenly matched fight on the card is WBA regular welterweight champion Radzhab Butaev faces mandatory challenger Eimantas Stanionis in a virtual pick’em fight. The winner will be in line to fight the Spence-Ugas winner although a clash for undisputed status against WBO champ Terence Crawford may come first.
In other action, lightweight contender Isaac Cruz is a 14:1 favorite over former champion Yuriorkis Gamboa, lightweight contender Jose Valenzuela is a 9:1 favorite over Francisco “Bandido” Vargas, welterweight Cody Crowley is a 4:1 favorite over “The Riverside Rocky” Josesito Lopez, and Brandun Lee is a whopping 25:1 pick against Zachary Ochoa.
Butaev-Stanionis and Lee-Ochoa will air on Showtime. The rest of the bouts will be featured on a $74.99 pay-per-view telecast.
I expect Spence to win, but I think those odds are kind of heavy for him. He’s had one fight in the last two and a half years or so and, clearly, he’s dealing with some wear and tear on his body.
I predicted last week Spence on a UD using his speed and counter punching. Ugas tends to get flat-footed and stationery as a fight progresses and I see Spence taking full advantage of that flaw with angles. Have a great day today.
Yes those are really heavy odds considering his inactivity? It’s almost as Ugas doesn’t stand a chance right?? I bet that if it’s somewhat of a close fight it’ll be Spence by shutout on the scorecards lol
Juicy odds for an upset, worth a little flutter just in case
Not really-this is a fight to enjoy but not bet on.
Spence by decision maybe, on’t count out Ugas. Only fight worth 75 bucks is Crawford Vs Spence.
Spence should certainly win. But,,, thats why they fight the fight.
Ugas vs Spence coud be a 50/50 fight if we take into account the condition of both fighters. Yordenis Ugas is a young 35 that hasn’t lost in almost 8 years ( fight with Porter he was robbed), and he is in the best moment of his boxing career. Errol Spence in the other hand, even though he is amazingly talented, we might say is an old 32 if we add his car accident and eye injury along with his inactivity. Ugas, as the same way he did to Porter and Pacquiao, will bring to the table all his legal and ilegal tricks in order to get the win, being IMO Spence injured eye his main target. I believe in Spence, but won’t be easy at all
I hope Ugas wins.
