    Well, yeah, there is that.
    But the actual extra point doesn´t change anything, unless the judges verdict is 6-6 in rounds.

    If all three would’ve given the 11th to Porter and there wasn’t a kd, that’s a three point swing on each card. He still would’ve come out ahead though.

    Yes, we already established that. I said it myself as well.
    But I am talking about the actual extra point, not how a KD affects the round. An extra point on the scorecards only comes in handy in case of a draw.
    So Spence scoring a 10-8 round is irrelevant. It just means that there is one clear round which he definitely won(not that it was the only one). Porter still only needed to win 7 rounds, which he arguably did.

    The way he stared and shouted at Spence after getting up from the knockdown was goosebump material.

    This fight should of been a DRAW or a 115/114 Swing as two of the scorecards STANK.

    Porter showed Spence he was there to win and at times had Spence so smothered he was clueless.

    Respect to both and let’s see a REMATCH and if not let’s see BUD and Spence before 2021 PLEASE

    Yeah maybe too often but Porter ain't one to complain.

    I thought porter won 114-113 but I can dispute spence winning just 116-111 seems unfair to me.

    Question for everyone?

    Can Spence improve from this contest?
    Most notably his footwork?

    I think Spence showed he can stay calm under non stop pressure and aggression.
    His footwork is already solid but he did allow Porter to win the lead leg position majority of the fight so yeah he can improve

    Did you think he looked untidy at times or was it more dealing with Porter?
