763 days later, Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring to try to regain the world championship (WBA) from the welterweight that had fallen to Yordenis Ugás, without the latter having won it over the ring. Today the Cuban has shown that he is worthy of that title, and that is that his victory over Pac-Man by unanimous decision (115-113, 116-112 and 116-112) was convincing, although without reaching to dazzle. After the loss, the former champion asked for time to decide if he was still in boxing.
He drew up a script and was able to follow it from start to finish without Manny being able to break the plot at any time. Aware of its power and advantageous size, '54 Milagros' pulled jab and powerful rights to the Pac-Man’s body and face to get the Filipino to think twice before launching into a war. Very good cons also the Cuban.
It was a very tactical fight in which Pacquiao did not know how to print rhythm or break the iron defense of Ugás, who did what he had to to win, although perhaps not so much to amuse the public. The action was at all times very linear, without surprises or moments that would help raise the temperature; all the assaults seemed and public was left with the desire to get up from their seats.
As always, Senator Pacquiao threw many more blows, 815 for the 405 of his rival, but with a much worse connection percentage: 16% against 37% than his opponent, but without creating excessive danger except on rare occasions. Instead, each Ugás bomb displaced its rival.
Despite everything, Pacquiao’s legacy is and will remain one of the richest in boxing history. He will long remain the only fighter to reign in eight weight categories, having won world titles in the 1990s, 2000, 2010 and 2020. During his long career he has defeated 22 world champions, and for the moment Mayweather will still be able to boast that he reached 23.
