PREDICTIONS
The crux of this fight is simple. If the same Spence who defeated the likes of Brook, Porter and both Garcias shows up inside AT&T Stadium, it should be enough to edge out a determined Ugas. Anything less, however, and this has trap fight written all over it. – CBS Sports
Errol Spence Jr. is the #1 welterweight in the world, and bettors are liking his chances as he is a -550 favorite over high-level spoiler Yordenis Ugas this weekend at AT&T Stadium. – Covers
Spence rivals Ugás’ boxing skills and is a better athlete and stronger fighter. He can take Ugás down over time and should keep him busy in the championship rounds to secure a clear decision. Expect Spence to exit AT&T Stadium with three of the four welterweight titles. –24SSports
