Manny Pacquiao vs. Yordenis Ugas: The Big Fight Preview - everything you need to know

Errol Spence Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao was supposed to be boxing's biggest bout of the year until this point.

However, Spence suffering a retina tear made Yordenis Ugas a late replacement. Still, Pacquiao vs. Ugas isn't too shabby at all.

The 42-year-old boxing legend will look to become a world champion once again when he challenges for Ugas' WBA (Super) welterweight title Saturday night in Las Vegas and live on pay-per-view.

Pacquiao is coming off an impressive split-decision victory over Keith Thurman in July 2019 and could wind up retiring — win or lose.

Ugas became a world champion with a split-decision win of his own over Abel Ramos in September.

Will Pacquiao prove there's levels to boxing and point his way to another impressive showing or will Ugas force Pacquiao's retirement with a statement win?
