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

A slower round ends acrimoniously as both fighters throw shots after the final bell. Ugas’ jab is the best weapon once again and should be enough just to nick it, although the Cuban could still increase his volume to ensure there is no doubt in the judges’ minds. Pacquiao is becoming a little frustrated.

A great round for Ugas, whose slippery footwork and sharp counters are confounding Pacquiao. The Cuban is clearly winning the battle of the jabs and, when Pacquiao gets on the inside, Ugas is sharp enough to avoid the flurries of punches and respond with his own single shots. Ugas is ahead at the halfway stage.

A better round for Pacquiao who ups his volume and outworks Ugas up close. The Cuban still landed telling counters, though, and the Filipino’s face is starting to mark up. It’s 3-2 in Ugas’s favour on our scorecard.

Ugas lands a right hand on the belt but Pacquiao complains that it was low and the referee obliges. There’s a short break to allow the Filipino to recover and Ugas gets a warning. If another is deemed to land low, the Cuban is likely to lose a point and that could prove very costly in what is a very close fight. Ugas gets the best of the round again, though, landing nice jabs as well as a looping right hook. Pacquiao is struggling to find his rhythm.

Pacquiao attempts to up the pace in the third round and he tries to overwhelm Ugas with a series of flurries. The Cuban is boxing magnificently, though, and manages to avoid the vast majority, all while picking out snappy counters. It should be Ugas’s round, but with the crowd so one-sided and boxing’s always dubious scorecards, there’s no guarantee that will be the case.

A much-improved second round for Ugas. A typically slick and skilled Cuban fighter, he takes advantage of his longer reach and wins the battle of the jabs against the shorter Pacquiao. Ugas then manages to land a lovely right-hand counter, too, as Pacquiao attempted to close the gap. The Filipino is unfazed but, after his lightning-quick start, the Cuban certainly did enough to take that round.

Pacquiao immediately takes the front foot and sets the tone with an early flurry. He backs Ugas up onto the ropes and follows it with another barrage, with several punches landing. Ugas takes the shots well, though, and begins to settle by the end of the round, using his superior size and strength, and lands nice jabs to the head and body. A clear first round to the Filipino.

We are officially underway. Can Manny Pacquiao, at 42 years old, win yet another world title or will Yordenis Ugas clinch the most famous upset of his career?

Pacquiao, the only fighter in history to become a world champion in four different decades, walks to the ring to The Eye of the Tiger, perhaps, for the final time in his glorious career.

Ugas walks first to the ring and the Cuban is all smiles, soaking in the occasion. There’s no question who the crowd are favouring here, though, and huge roars go up in a packed T-Mobile Arena as the Filipino leaves his dressing room.
