Yordenis Ugas absorbed plenty of punishment in his 10th round TKO loss to Errol Spence Jr on Saturday night in Texas.
The Cuban welterweight had his moments and even hurt Spence in the sixth round, but Spence pulled away in the later rounds and swelled up Ugas’ eye to the point where the commission doctor waived the fight off. Ugas lost his WBA title to Spence and suffered the first stoppage defeat of his career.
As was suspected and has since been confirmed, Ugas fractured his orbital.
“I have a fracture in my eye and in the next few days the doctors will say how they will treat it,” Ugas said in a statement released on Instagram.
