UGAS CAPTURES WBA 'REGULAR' WELTER TITLE; WILL HE FACE SUPER CHAMP PACQUIAO NEXT? By Carlos Costa PhilBoxing.com Mon, 07 Sep 2020  Cuban veteran Yordenis Ugas (26-4, 12 KO’s) outpointed in a split decision Mexican-American Abel Ramos to conquer the vacant WBA welterweight “regular” world title Sunday evening at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California, USA. After ten years in pro boxing, the 34-year-old from Santiago de Cuba has finally captured a world title, a feat made possible with the guidance of his award-winning Cuban coach Ismael Salas. One his way to reach the welterweight summit, Ugas had to pass thru tough names as Omar Figueroa, Thomas Dulorme and Jamal James, while getting a split decision set back against Shawn Porter. But Sunday’s defeated warrior Abel Ramos (26-4-2, 20 KO’s) feels in his heart as a winner after putting in a commendable effort in the competitive rumble. In fact, one of the judges scored the fight as a wide 117-111 in favor or Ramos. However, that thinking was over-ruled by the other two judges who saw it a close 115-113 for the new Cuban WBA “Regular” Welterweight world champion Yordenis Ugas. Nevertheless, at the very top of Welterweights is WBA “Super Champion” Filipino super star Hon. Sen. Manny Pacquiao.⭐️ Will one day Ugas battle the Pacman? He wishes as that would guarantee the Cuban a huge paycheck. The fact, is that now nobody knows for sure who will the Pinoy king will fight next, nor when. ✋ That’s because the inspiring Pacman has been too busy firmly dealing with pressing matters of national interests, as well as helping his Filipino brothers and sisters overcome the current pandemic, a commendable effort that the Nation will never forget. 🙏🏼 The author Carlos Costa is veteran boxing writer living in Cebu.
