    I kind of agree with that, he was more accurate than usual, but alot of what he was doing was ugly and and some spots DIRTY. it was close but I felt Swift was better, more accurate and precised. It was close, and I won't complain about the decisio, but a wide decision for Porter is bs.

    Funny enough I actually think Garcia is a scarier match up for me against Spence. Garcia still has that one punch left hook ko shot. I don't see any way Porter wins. Spence is the superior inside fighter, mid-range fighter, and long-range fighter. Maybe Porter will try and ko him with another one of his special headbutts.

    Wide is fine, it could be anywhere from 117-111 to 115-113, those first few rounds were razor close, Porter took over in the middle, then the last 3 tightened up a little.

    Agreed, I was on Garcia tonight but props to Porter. Garcia has actually faced better competition than Spence yet Spence gets a ton of hype for beating Brook after he got dismantled by GGG?

    Spence-Porter is an interesting fight. I think Porter's style might do well against Spence, who leaves his body open which Porter can exploit. Also, Spence's chin is still a question mark, you can't say that about Porter (or Garcia for that matter).

    Damn you think it's going to be that close huh. I got Spence by clear UD or stoppage. Spence is just non-stop work. But Porter is definitely tough, he took Thurman's best shots and trucked on forward. Imo those shots Thurman landed on Porter would have put a lot of WW's out cold.

    Nope. I've always thought he was an overrated hypejob, he's a plodding blown up Light Middleweight southpaw weight bully, nothing more.
