Yordenis Ugas, Who Took the Fight on Short Notice, Shakes Up the Boxing World by Defeating Legend Manny Pacquiao, To Stake his WBA Welterweight Standing Claim

Written by Tré Berry III🖊️ | 08/22/2021

The crowd at the 🏟️T-Mobile Arena was electric, as a large contingent of Filipino fans were in the crowd, and a group of proud Cubans cheering heavily for their man. In a sense, this is a “deja vu” type of a situation for 🔱🇵🇭Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39KO👊), who made his worldly introduction against Lehlo Ledwaba by taking the fight on 2-weeks notice, and showing out. A similar situation just unfolded, but the difference was…..that the fighter taking the bout on short notice was the reigning WBA Welterweight world titlist in Cuba’s 🥉🇨🇺Yordenis Ugas (27-4-0, 12KO👊), and he has showed the world what he is capable of doing at high levels when given the opportunity.
