    Would've been a Porter round.

    tough talk when all you gotta do is ban them when you get your feelings hurt.

    I agree with everything you said EXCEPT entertaining. I want clean exchanges and may the better man win. Porter never allows that.

    You know better than that, styles make fights. Porter nearly suffocated him in this fight, I'm not sure there's another active welter that can do that to him. That said he does need to pump his brakes on how easily he thinks he can beat other star fighters....

    Think you're selling Porter a bit short. Yea, he can be timed but he's quicker than people give him credit for. And he's awkward even when he rushes you. He did a good job of frequently spinning off the ropes too.

    Not at all.

    I like Porter and wanted him to win, but the last two rounds sealed it imo.

    Just don’t get how you’re in here acting the authority on scoring when it always favours the underdog and then love to scream robbery afterward.

    Fine you vomitus piece of ****, I'll make it a week. Ad hominem attacks are not welcome on this site, discussing boxing or whatever else in the lounge like a normal respectful human being is. How about curtailing that little deplorable habit of yours and overall nasty hateful demeanor when you return. You've been giving too many chances and countless warnings thus far. A far less tolerant person would have banned you months ago.

    Not fair. Spence is a tremendous fighter. Porter will make anyone look bad.

    I'm not selling him short, that's how you get a swarmer as they are coming in. Spence just doesn't have the ability to time him and hit hard at the same time. And hopefully that illustrates that these welters are all a lot closer than the crazies like to admit.

    :lol: Prime Manny would spark Spence out cold and I'm not even sure the senior citizen pension collecting version of today who has got one foot in the retirement home and the other in a grave wouldn't given the way Spence reacts to getting caught clean from non-punchers lol.

    Crawford will tool Spence. Too loosey goosey and slick for Mr Meat & Potatoes Spence

    Look at how big Crawford looks here. He says he weighs in the 160s-170s (so he's obviously late 160s bare minimum). He looks exactly the same as he does on fight night at 147 to me. The late 160s-170s and not a single ounce of fat on him.

    Porter exposed Spence's boxing ability quite a bit. Spence will be kept away from Crawford for quite a while still.
