The world of boxing seemed to be split right in the middle as the welterweight unification between Errol Spence Jr. and Yordenis Ugas is approaching. The two are expected to go head-to-head in less than a month on April 16, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

With Ugas claiming the most important win of his career in his most recent ring appearance against Manny Pacquiao, the WBA title player is confident he will add to the WBC world titles. and Spence Jr.’s IBF. into your collection. However, despite his unwavering beliefs, Bernard Hopkins did not give him many chances.

Hopkins told Fight Hub TV: “Errol Spence beat him.

Spence Jr., a former US Olympic athlete, is trying to take one step further towards his ultimate goal of becoming the undisputed world champion. Initially, in the early years of his career, Spence Jr wowed fans with his relentless pressure and ability to finish matches in a flash. However, towards the end, Spence Jr was forced to deal with forces beyond his control.

After a decisive win over Shawn Porter in 2019, Spence Jr miraculously survived a horrific one-man car wreck. Although Spence Jr would dust off and return to the ring a year later to score a one-sided goal against Danny Garcia, the unified welterweight championship title remains besieged.

Initially, the Dallas-born player was scheduled to play in August 2021, against Manny Pacquiao. That said, he was forced to withdraw from their competition due to a retinal detachment in his right eye.

As a result, of course, Ugas entered on relatively short notice and gained attention for himself, winning a pretty close unanimous decision. With Spence Jr appearing in the ring less than both he and his adoring fans would like, Hopkins believes that from here on out, Spence Jr will produce incredible performances.

“Listen, I look at the genealogy of talent. I believe from the most recent matches, outside of the game, I believe he knows that he has to make a statement every time he fights. Good for us, bad for our opponents. He knows he has to look damn good there perfect or perfect in every fight. There’s no room for error. From what I’ve seen, he handles that very, very well. ”
