Ugas had spent time in camp with Manny Pacquiao, prior to the fight being rescheduled from Errol Spence Jr., a heavy underdog, and with many suspecting he hurt his left bicep based on an pre-fight interview with a strange inflammation around his muscle. Ugas entered this bout against Pacquiao with wins against Omar Figueroa Jr., and Abel Ramos, and ten days’ notice for the bout. The Porter fight will be a fight of myth, as many felt Ugas beat Porter, but Ugas lost on the judges’ cards, probably based around work rate, and also a knockdown in the final round being called a slip, didn’t help either, the Cuban fighters cause as well. Ugas went undefeated in this stretch which set up a bout with Shawn Porter on FOX. Ugas resurrected his career on Premier Boxing Champions undercards, defeating undefeated fighter Jamal James, Bryant Perrella, as well as good gym guys Levan “The Wolf” Ghvamichava, Thomas Dulorme, and Ray Robinson, running the gauntlet of tough fighters. The issue with Ugas was largely his inactivity in fights as noted by split decision losses to Garcia and Robles, and without rewatching them, his style left the judges to interrupt in their own mind what they saw, and without complete separation, it gets risky.

Ugas, who up until five years ago, was looked at as an underachiever as a professional, an opponent in the sport of boxing, “the b-side guy” as he was most known for being a great amateur, with bad losses as a pro to Amir Imam, Johnny Garcia, and Emmanuel Robles, but wins in the amateurs over guys like Terence Crawford Sadam Ali, Roniel Iglesias, Darleys Perez and Francisco Vargas to name a few.

Adding to that, Napoles lost to Carlos Monzon, Casamayor lost to Juan Manuel Marquez, Rigondeaux lost to Vasyl Lomachenko, and Ugas well he beat the all-time great, which hadn’t been done in Cuban professional boxing. We have had in the modern era, Jose Napoles who defeated Emile Griffith, Joel Casamayor defeating Diego Corrales twice, and Guillermo Rigondeaux defeating Nonito Donaire – Yordenis Ugas now adds his name to the list of great Cuban pro boxers as he beat cultural icon, Manny Pacquaio, in what might be Pacquiao’s last bout. It has been hard for Cuban fighters to get historic wins. David Greisman Yordenis Ugas Becomes A Legend In One Fight
