  • Spence and Ugas a true professionals. They look in great shape and were under 147 pounds, let see how good Spence still.

  • The guy to watch is prospect Brandon Lee. He is still a prospect but he can crack and showed some good boxing skills in his last fight.

    • Has Brandun Lee EVER actually made the 140 lbs. limit? Stop calling him a Junior Welterweight…

    • Kp- Yes, he’s looked spectacular the few times I’ve seen him. Let’s see if he can continue to showcase at the next level.

    • I think this is a decent card. Better then most PPV cards we have been getting. I just watched Spence and Ugas fight Porter. Porter fought the fight of his life vs Spence. I think Spence will have an easier night with Ugas then he did against Porter. Unless he is diminished due to the accident or surgery I do not see Spence losing. Spence has a good chin and Ugas is not a ko puncher. I think the big difference though is Ugas is not busy enough to win a decision. As Ugas has a good chin as well I predict Spence wins a UD.

      • Not sure about that. Pacquiao was far busier than Ugas, but didn’t land. Ugas countered well and landed. If Ugas can get the “last word” on his exchanges, he can win rounds. Should be an interesting fight.

      • I predict a clear cut decision for Spence. I won’t say total domination, but he will not have a very difficult time with Ugas.

      • Hahah millennial?? I’m in my my mid 30’s and both my house and truck are paid off. Instead of sleeping between mommy daddy I’ll be sleeping between your sister and wife. 🙂

        • If I may break up this clinch between Arturo & Berserker: both land a clean shot & also a possible rabbit punch.

          Berserker has shown fiscal responsibility with home and truck ownership so prob. can afford a PPV but opts out because PBC has a rep for cards that suck. Although this one is better than avg. Financial stability is a great thing. However Millennials generally have always been classified as being born between either 1981-1996 or 1980-1995. Both fighters only partially landed their shots.

          Neither knows if the other has a sister, a mother, or a father. Many of us by our 30’s and beyond have none of the above. That’s why being smart with finances combined with a hard work ethic helps determine the ability to CHOOSE whether a PBC fight is worth plunking down the $, or if ragging on all PPV’s is a side effect of no dough and living with family. And ownership and self reliance generally rank higher than lacking that but paying for PPV. So priorities first..

          Home ownership and passing on a PPV due to personal taste in boxing matchups related to the existing fighting landscape are NOT mutually exclusive.

          • All I’m saying is Spence isn’t a very exciting fighter and Ugas is the definition of safety first, dirty tactics and boring. Put them both in the ring and you don’t get a very memorable fight. Ugas was afraid to trade with a much smaller Pacquiao who clearly was having a hard time that night. What’s he going to do against Spence? Cover up the rest of the night once Spence lands a few good combos??

        • @ Berserker, 40 year old mobile homes in trailer parks don’t count as being paid off when they have been passed down by inbred family members! Your converted 30 yr old milk delivery truck also doesn’t count as being paid off when it was salvaged from the county scrap yard!

  • Damn both Spence & Ugas look great! Didn’t realize how much bigger Ugas looks though??!! Looking forward to seeing this!!

    • If Ugas wins he’d fight Crawford. if Spence wins he wont fight Crawford.

  • I sense an Upset here. However if Spence wins, he would chicken out of a Crawford fight for sure. He’d ask for a ton load of money and all kinds of things. Just like how he chickened out of a Pacquiao fight. #SpenceCoward

    • @Arturo, Spence had a detached retina! After last night’s fight Pacroid would have been fried chicken for sure! But since you were wrong again about Spence smashing Ugas, you have no credibility to call anybody a chicken! Spence is and has been the A side!!! Crawford is the one that will price himself out of the fight! Please tell us why Bud deserves a 50-50 split when he only 1 little wbo belt?

  • Why do these near the top guys at 135 keep picking on old Gamboa, like a win over him means anything?

  • This is Ugas fight to win and I think he will be to sluggish and rugged for Spence. Officialy chaning my prediction from Ugas tko round 11 to Ugas wins by tko round 6

  • The world really needs Ugas to win so we can finally see a uni/fight for all the belts vs Crawford.
    Spence is killing the division period.
    Ugas in 2!

  • Looking forward to seeing Brandun Lee back in action. Wish they would stop trotting out Gamboa and Lopez as B-sides. But it’s good that we have a 3 belt unification at 147. PBC has usually underwhelming cards but this is better than average (for them)

  • I’m curious how Spence is going to fight against a skilled fighter who is as big and strong as him.. Because that wasn’t always the case..

  • I dont think Spence is in for too hard of an evening and wins a safety first UD.
