The much anticipated match between Manny Pacquiao and Yordenis Ugas was heavily discussed online on Sunday, with several keywords such as 'Pacquiao' and 'Pacman' still trending on Twitter as of writing.

It wasn't just sports fans sharing their reactions about the fight, but also Pacquiao and Ugas' fellow boxers.

Errol Spence, Jr., who was supposed to be Pacquiao's opponent in this fight before he had to back out due to an eye injury, praised Ugas and called the Cuban boxer's performance 'good sh*t.'

Spence even retweeted a clip from the post-fight interview saying Ugas wants to fight the American boxer next.

Ryan Garcia, meanwhile, took to Twitter his adoration for the eight division-world champion.

"Pacquaio (sic) will forever be my favorite fighter and inspiration," Garcia said.
