Boxing is a sport that always contains surprises even in the floor and outside the stage. Less than 2 weeks ago, we are still looking forward to the confrontation between Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr this weekend. But the opponent of the Radio Tomorrow with the legend of 8/2 Champion of Pacquiao is now Yordenis Ugas, the WBA Super Championship Semi -class. The following is a judgment about the matches of the boxers who have confronted both.
Antonio Margarito, former semi -Chinese champion (was defeated by Pacquiao in 2010)
Pacquiao's strengths: I believe that Pacquiao's fighting will not change in the next match. Because, this way of fighting has helped the Filipino puncher to be successful today. Many people mention Pacquiao's age but I think he still keeps his peak form. With the agile movement and very strong punches from different angles, Manny Pacquiao is the most puncher I've ever encountered. He was also the one who gave me a game in his career.
What Ugas needs to do to win: Pacquiao's advantage is at speed. If Ugas wants to do something, it is best to keep his opponent in the corner of the radio. I failed to do that. In fact, speaking is always easier than doing. Pacquiao was very fast and almost could not keep the distance with him. I think it is the only way for Ugas to beat Pacquiao. But if it was so easy to do so, Pacquiao would not become a legend.
Predict: Pacquiao won knock-out after the 7th half.
Juan Manuel Marquez, who held 4 different championship belts (defeated Pacquiao with a knockout victory in 2012)
The strength of Pacquiao: Pacquiao needs to continue promoting what he is the best, that is the speed and accuracy. He does not need to adjust much to confront the UGAS opponent. Pacquiao is a very good counterattacker with a series of straight punches with very fast speed and power. Clash an opponent with a higher advantage than me, straight punches will work even more. It will be the key attack in this match for Pacquiao.
What Ugas needs to do to win: To combat Pacquiao's speed, UGAS also needs to use his speed. The secret that I applied in 4 clashes with Pacquiao was that I had almost achieved the same speed as him. At that time, I felt everything, the rhythm of moving, the attacks of Pacquiao were also clearer. Pacquiao defenses very well and covers the opponent's attacks. To penetrate that defense, UGAS needs to attack in a diverse combination of attacks and from different angles to find gaps.
Predict: Pacquiao won knock-out. However, UGAS is motivated and can be surprised.

Pacquiao's strengths: He needs to be himself in the upcoming match. Use continuous moving steps and launch a series of punches. That's the way Pacquiao will solve the match. When I fought with Ugas, I knew he was a favorite opponent to keep the distance. Therefore, Pacquiao needs to use punches at close range and that will make it difficult for Ugas.
What Ugas needs to do to win: Ugas has an almost similar way to the person who has lowered the Pacquiao, Manuel Marquez. Both are very good counter -attackers and Ugas will have a very good chance when Pacquiao is engrossed in attacking. In addition, Pacquiao left left. This will be extremely beneficial for the scooping into the body of Ugas.
Predict: Pacquiao won by scoring
