Ugas will be ‘even better prepared’ in potential rematch vs Pacquiao
MP Promotions head Sean Gibbons advised Manny Pacquiao against a rematch with WBA welterweight super champion Yordenis Ugas, preferring a celebratory send-off fight instead.
Gibbons stated that Pacquiao deserves a gala-type farewell against an opponent he can easily defeat, not a grueling rematch with Ugas.
However, Pacquiao himself indicated that cramps limited his performance in their previous bout and suggested a rematch could be possible in January.
Ugas believes he will be "even better prepared" for a potential rematch, having had only 11 days' notice for their first encounter.
Both Pacquiao and Ugas have expressed openness to a second fight, with Ugas stating it would be his "honor and pleasure to face him again."
