In a stunning upset, Philippine Senator and the 8th time world champion Manny Pacquiao lost to Yordenis Ugas, in a unanimous decision, where all three judges scored: 116-112, 115-113 and 116-112.
Manny Pacquiao was schedule to face Errol Spence but needed to be replaced by Yordenis Ugas, when Spence suffered a detached retina in his left eye just 12 days before the fight.
It was a close fight where both fighters continuously exchange blows but by the end of the fight that Manny’s age was showing as Ugas just absorbs each of his jabs and hooks.
It’s unclear what will be Manny’s next move in the ring even though we all know what his political ambitions are. This may every well be Manny’s fight and its been one hell of a boxing career.
