Ugas, trainer believe Pacquiao doesn’t have what it takes to win by KO
Manny Pacquiao concluded his training camp in Los Angeles with praise from his coaching team, who believe he is in excellent condition for his upcoming fight.
Trainers Freddie Roach, Buboy Fernandez, and Justin Fortune consider this one of Pacquiao's best training camps, possibly putting him in better shape than his win against Keith Thurman.
Freddie Roach believes Yordenis Ugas's slower style and knockout hunting approach are perfectly suited for Pacquiao's advantages.
Buboy Fernandez stated that Pacquiao is at 110% condition and ready for the fight, mentioning they have developed a strategy to exploit Ugas's tendencies against shorter opponents.
Yordenis Ugas and his trainer Ismael Salas, however, expressed confidence that Pacquiao cannot knock him out.
Salas noted that Pacquiao has not knocked out an opponent since his 2018 bout with Lucas Matthysse, and Ugas stated he is 100 percent sure he won't be knocked out.
