Pacquiao vs. Ugas: Tony Bellew, Michael Conlan and more boxing industry names predict who will win the big fightSean Michael Ham/TGB Promotions
Who wins this weekend's welterweight clash between Manny Pacquiao and Yordenis Ugas?

Joe Joyce: Heavyweight contender 

“I reckon Ugas has the technical skills to beat Pacquiao. It’s going to be an amazing fight but I’m backing Ugas to take care of business.” 

Dave Coldwell: Leading trainer 

“I’ve seen Ugas training with Ismael Salas over the last few years and I’ve always liked the look of him. He’s on a roll and I think he might burst Pacquiao bubble.” 

Michael Conlan: WBA featherweight interim champion 

“I think Ugas. Pacquiao isn’t the fighter he once was and Ugas is a nightmare for anyone at welterweight. Ugas by close decision.” 

Nick Peet: The DAZN Boxing Show 

“Ugas has the experience and pedigree to make Pacquiao work for his victory, but he doesn’t have the power to halt Pacquiao's relentless offence. This will be a one-sided fight in favour of Pacquiao and an easy night’s work for the judges.” 

Andy Clarke: Boxing commentator 

“Ugas on points. He’s a good fighter and he’s fully prepared after already being on the original bill. It’s the fight of Ugas’ life and Pacquiao hasn’t boxed for two years.” 

Jordan Gill: Leading featherweight contender 

“Pacquiao via split decision. Tough fight but I think Pacquiao has enough left to get the job done against a solid opponent like Ugas.” 

James DeGale: Former Olympic gold medallist and super-middleweight world champion 

“Pacquiao on points. Definitely past his best but still should have enough.” 

Tony Bellew: Former cruiserweight world champion  

“Pacquiao on points. I like Ugas but he’s been at the level of Pacquiao before.” 

Sam Jones: Partner in SJAM Boxing 

“Ugas. I think he’s been waiting for a moment like this his whole life and he’s getting Pacquiao at the right time.” 

Matthew Hatton: Retired fighter now training Campbell Hatton 

“Pacquiao for me. A legend of the sport still fighting at the highest level and he’s still got enough in the tank to beat Ugas this weekend.” 

Cameron Dunkin: Boxing talent spotter currently managing Jaron Ennis 

“I like Pacquiao by decision in this one.” 

Luke McCormack: 2020 Olympian 

“Pacquiao by unanimous decision for me.” 

Pat McCormack: 2020 Olympic silver medallist 

“Pacquiao too good. He’ll beat Ugas.” 

Anthony Fowler: Super-welterweight contender 

“Pacquiao is a legend. He wins this fight for me.”
