Defeated Manny Pacquiao Says Open to Rematch with Yordenis Ugas

Manny Pacquiao has refused to rule out a rematch with WBA champion Yordenis Ugas following his upset defeat to the Cuban last weekend, which nudged the Filipino boxing star ever closer to retirement. Pacquiao, 42, told The Athletic website that he may consider fighting Ugas again in January following his unanimous decision loss to the 35-year-old in Las Vegas on Saturday. That would be no problem.” Ugas said in the aftermath of his win on Saturday, where he clinically picked off Pacquiao from long range to score a deserved victory, that he would be willing to offer the eight-division world champion a rematch. “I will think about it because I can’t believe that one of the easiest opponents I ever faced did that,” said Pacquiao, who has blamed cramping in his legs for his leaden-footed performance.
