    Annoying about ITV as they were picking up some good shows and a lot of it was free.

    What a fight by the way, regardless of what it’s on.

    I really think Spence will go on to prove himself top 3-5 P4P.

    Great fight, I actually think it will be a close one. I think Spence will win but I feel Porter is alot better than many people think (crude but good).

    ITV have first refusal on these fights but they do have to meet a specified fee- clearly they don’t think it will rate well enough on ITV4 at 4am.

    I doubt the PBC/ITV deal lasts much longer in it’s current form. At least it’s on UK TV and will likely be on YouTube the following week.

    Porter has never been in with somebody as good on the inside as Spence. If Spence can beat him up there then what else can Porter do?

    I wonder if Porter will fight like normal, scrapping, head first brawling or he will try to box like he has done more recently. Either way I can't seem to find a case for him winning. Good fight though and Spence's second hardest test so far.

    Spence is the harder puncher but Porter is durable as he was against Garcia and Thurman, I think it will go the distance. Spence's body punching and crisp combinations will spell the difference. Errol Spence by a unanimous verdict.

    Provided Spence can do 147 and remain strong I would have him winning.Porter has a good work rate and is fairly durable but for me lacks on skill front , great fight though.
