It’s been a long few years for unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr. In 2019, he was involved in a life-threatening car accident that forced him out of the ring for more than a year. And after returning to defeat Danny Garcia in December 2020, Spence suffered a detached retina during a sparring session in the lead-up to a title fight versus Manny Pacquiao, which forced Spence to withdraw from the fight.
One eye surgery later, Spence is recovered and ready to take on Yordenis Ugas — the same Yordenis Ugas who stepped in for Spence last August and outclassed Pacquiao en route to a unanimous decision victory.
But the past is the past, and now these two champions will unite this Saturday night in Dallas in a three-belt welterweight world title unification. And if you ask the betting public, Ugas doesn’t stand a chance.
Seventy-four percent of bet slips coming into Tipico Sportsbook have Spence, the hometown kid and odds-on favorite (-750) on the moneyline, with the other 26 percent going to Ugas (+400).
