Pacquiao vs Ugas LIVE result: Stream, latest updates, how to watch online and undercard results

Thank you very much for joining our live coverage as Yordenis Ugas produced a brilliant performance to defeat Manny Pacquiao via unanimous decision in Las Vegas. If this is to be farewell, there was no shame in defeat for the 42-year-old Filipino, who will bow out as one of the greatest boxers in history. Here is our fight report:

At 42 years old, Pacquiao is immediately asked in the ring about whether he will retire. He admits he’s unsure and will wait to digest tonight’s defeat first. Long before tonight, though, the Filipino had nothing left to prove. An eight-weight world champion who already boasts such a supreme list of achievements, if this is to be the final chapter, it will do nothing to detract from his immense legacy.

There’s no controversy on the scorecards. Ugas gets the nod on all three judges scorecards: 115-113 116-112 116-112!

A strong final round from Ugas, who lands a great one-two early on and maintains pressure until the final bell. Pacquiao attempts to muster a last charge but it seems as though there’s little left in the tank. Age clearly caught up to the Filipino but that is hardly a surprise at 42 years old. Ugas lifts his arms in the air. He believes he’s done enough and he deserves this victory, but the fight was still close and nothing is guaranteed when it comes to the scorecards, especially against a superstar of Pacquiao’s stature.

Another round that’s very hard to separate. Pacquiao dominates the first half of it and lands good shots to the head, but Ugas responds excellently, too, and dishes out a series of big right hands of his own. Although the Cuban has been the superior boxer, it feels as though he could have increased his volume to avoid any doubt on the scorecards. We head into the final round and it’s certainly close.

Pacquiao starts the round brightly but Ugas comes on strong at the end of the tenth. He’s winging in looping right hands and, although they’re not landing clean, they’re still connecting and are surely having an effect on Pacquiao. Can the Filipino muster a big final charge?

That’s better from Pacquiao, whose combinations land in the ninth. They don’t hurt Ugas, or even deter him, but they’re certainly scoring shots and help to revive the somewhat muted atmosphere in the T-Mobile Arena, who desperately want to see the Filipino triumph. We’re heading into the championship rounds!

Pacquiao is throwing more punches but very few are landing, let alone making a telling impact. Ugas is landing heavy right hands that are a lot more effective, even if they aren’t as eye-catching. He’s slowed the pace of the fight down to a tempo that suits him and Pacquiao doesn’t seem to have the same number of gears to go through as we’re so used to seeing. It’s a very close fight but Ugas is ahead on our card.
