Pac 117-111 type score. What Pac need to be careful is the bodyshots on the inside. Pac, being the much shorter fighter has to jump inside and throw his combinations, this leaves him open to the body where Ugas might take a couple of hits to the face to land his left and right hook to the body. Pac is also not a fan of guarding his body, he has a high guard, he usually protects his body by getting out of range. On the flip side, I can see Ugas attempting that those bodyshots which leaves him open upstairs, perhaps to the right hook followed with a combination that may hurt him. I can also see Pac's overhand left being effective as he goes inside, goes low to protect his body, Ugas goes to the body leaving his head open and Pac throws that overhand left like he did vs Horn and Bradley, a lot. If Pac hurts him, I think he stops him, Ugas doesn't look like he has the best reaction to being hurt based on the Ramos fight. I think it'll be a tactical fight where Pac uses range and scores points in and out, but I wouldn't rule out a KO if he does hurt him.
Manny Pacquiao's age does not bother me as much as the layoff. 42 is not that old. Without the layoff I would pick Pacquiao to easily beat Ugas. He is faster, better, and more experienced. Since there really is no way for me to predict how much of a factor the layoff will be I am going with Manny Pacquiao by decision.
Pacquiao should retire win or lose. Before he gets seriously hurt. It's time to hang em up. That's it it's young man's sport. Farewell fight maybe in the Phil Islands then call it a day.
Quoting Myself: Well. That prediction went well. Great job, Shay! GRRRR! Thank you, Manny Pacquiao! I really enjoyed your fights. I loved them in fact! That loss was no disgrace to end your career on! I don't want to see you in the ring again. Onward to other things! Live a long life with more successes in your political career!
