Errol Spence Jr. Plans To Finish Yordenis Ugás In Welterweight Title Unification Bout: “I Don’t Think It’s Going 12 Rounds”
WBC and IBF welterweight champion, Errol Spence Jr., plans on finishing WBA champ Yordenis Ugás in their title unification bout.
Spence Jr. spoke with reporters during the pre-fight press conference for tomorrow night’s event in Arlington, Texas, and proclaimed while he respects Ugás’ toughness, he doesn’t believe the Cuban champion will last the distance with him when they meet in the ring.
“It’s going to be action-packed on Saturday night,” Spence said (h/t Bad Left Hook). “I’m looking to put on a great show and a great performance in front of my hometown fans. I know Ugás is coming to fight. I know his coach has a great game plan, but come Saturday night, I’m putting on a great show and another great performance. I’m looking forward to adding the WBA belt to my titles so I have three belts. That means there’s just one more to go. When people say I can’t do this or I can’t do that, I prove them wrong every time. I am the same guy I was before the accident and the injury. I feel like I’m better than that guy that fought Shawn Porter or Danny García. This fight might not go the distance. Ugás is a tough fighter. He’s a guy that embraces the fight and wanting to go toe-to-toe. If he has to, he’ll do anything to win. I’m that type of guy. I’m the type of guy that if I have to go toe-to-toe, I will. If I have to stay there and fight, I will. If we get in the clinch and start fighting, I don’t think it’s going 12 rounds.”
