Errol Spence Jr. returns from a long layoff to face Yordenis Ugas in a unification fight Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas (Showtime PPV, 9 p.m. ET).
Spence was supposed to face Manny Pacquiao last year, but suffered a left eye injury a few days before and had surgery. Ugas fought Pacquiao instead and scored a big upset in a decision win.
This fight is an opportunity for Spence to show why fight fans call him the best welterweight in boxing. If he beats Ugas, he will cement that spot because he will have three major titles. Terence Crawford has the other.
Ugas has confidence on his side after defeating Pacquiao, but can he apply the same pressure against a faster and younger Spence? Or can Spence make Ugas play defense and land his combinations?
Timothy Bradley Jr. breaks down the matchup and explains what the fighters need to do to win.
