R4- Not only is the jab of Spence getting through, it is successfully setting up combinations to the head by ripping Ugas’ guard open or straight up distracting him. Even while being the aggressor, Spence displays some lateral movement at times, showing an overall good defense for Ugas’ offense when necessary. Like the last round, Ugas lands some counters late, but does not have a concerete answer for the pace and tenacity of Spence. My favorite moment from Spence in the round is when he lands a double left uppercut to the body just to bring that hand up and land a short overhand left right after.
R3- Spence applies pressure and goes to work right away, cranking in several looping lefts and hitting Ugas with a straighter left hand when Ugas marches forward. Upon cutting the distance, Spence is able to get in body shots and uppercuts through Ugas’ guard with ease. Despite landing a few right hand counters towards the end of the round, this one 100% belonged to Spence. After the bell, we see that the right eye of Ugas is already starting to swell.
R2- Both are targeting the body, but Spence is the more accurate puncher in this regard. The jab of Spence is also helping him balance things out and sneak in some lefts to the head. Spence lands a smooth combination to the body before getting out of Ugas’ range near the end of the round.
R1- Spence is active with the jab during the first half, but Ugas starts to land his to the body. This area remains to be Ugas’ primary target in the round, as he lands several hooks there as well. The left hook shows to be a good counter punch for Ugas when he lands it, particularly when he slips a couple of shots then lands a clean left hook at the bell. Very much a swing round, but I felt Ugas did the better work in his half of the round.
Sadly can’t find any of Floyd Mayweather Sr.’s fights besides the famous ass whooping to Sugar Ray Leonard. I’m taking the scorers’ word for it in regard to his posted fights on here.
Definite power difference I won't disagree with you there. I just think Lopez outworked Valdez a lot of the time, unfortunately for him he just didn't have the power to win enough rounds. I was shocked to see the judges seem to agree with the commentators, I thought it was a super close fight and Valdez didn't impress me at all.
Seen it on french channel so not the same comments obviously. There was a power difference, the punches of Valdez seemed more powerful than those of Lopez, but the french comments seemed fair, noticing Lopez was moving more and throwing more, but that boxers seemed to be from different weight category when it comes to having impact on their opponent.
Judges only gave 3 rounds max to Lopez too so they also saw a more one sided fight that we could imagine.
