To be frank, Errol was a man on a mission, going into the fight like a bull in a china shop. He emphasized all week coming up to this huge battle that he wanted the knockout, and he was determined to get it throughout the fight. Errol was aggressive and sharp virtually every round, aiming for Ugas's body and then delivering several devastating strikes to the face, causing Ugas's eye to swell up. However, in the sixth round, Errol's mouthpiece fell out, and poor communication between him and the ref resulted in Ugas throwing blows that, quite honestly, surprised and staggered Errol. But, like any other adversity Errol has faced in his life, he remained calm, regained his composure, and carried out the strategy he and his trainer Derrick James devised.
This fight showcased that Errol is still deadly in the welterweight division and is one of the best boxers in the world.
