that point deduction for butaev might be crucial
You betting on Ugas?!!Finding this hard to call, prolly just due to allegiance. Followed Spence since the Olympics, but have followed Ugas since the Jamal James fight where he was cast off and expected to lose. Ugas hasn't truly lost in 6 years. But away from that, stylistically this fight favors Ugas. He wants to sit back and counter, he wants you to generate offense for him. Spence can box a bit on his back foot but he's not super elusive doing that. He's going to do what he always does, pump the great jab, go to the body, high workrate. I think truly the onus is on Ugas, because the rounds will be close and Spence will throw his 60-70 punches per round and Ugas will sit at his 40 and the rounds will be close, most likely going Spence's way. Ugas has to make a splash, and opening up more might give Spence the opportunities that he wants. Feels like a MD kind of fight. Spence hasn't stopped a top opponent since 2017(Lamont was a blown up Welter). Excited.
But also, the Stanionis-Butaev fight is interesting. Can't call it. Haven't really watched too much of Butaev so I'm more familiar with Stanionis ,but that performance against Jamal James was impressive.
Hey can anyone fill me in regarding the fight schedules?
Where we at on the cards? Still look like scheduled time for Ugas v Spence?
Appreciate it. Other side of the world. Vegas/NY times is easy to work out. Dallas with the screwball.
