Both Spence and Porter deserve credit for giving us a great fight!

    I see people around the internet being critical of Spence and some being hard on Porter.

    The truth is, BOTH fighters gave us a great boxing match - it could be the fight of the year, certainly one of the five best. Casual fans who saw that fight will want to see more boxing.

    Let's give both ring warriers credit!

    i know there was a knockdown if there wasn't I would have wished for a draw. I could see why someone gives it 114-113 spence but the 116-111 I just cant see porter won at least least least 5 rounds.

    Amen. Both guys fought hard and it was a close and entertaining fight. That should be what you want to see as a boxing fan. I don’t get why so many people are always looking for negative stuff to say after fights

    they left it all in the ring it was up to the judges, I think because of a knockdown more people feel spence won and that's fine but even with the knockdown giving porter 7 rounds was not very hard for me. it was one of those fights. giving spence 8 rounds just seems like a "he's the favourite I'll give him every close round"

    they left it all in the ring. and I just prefer Porters work and with the knockdown it ended up being 114-113 Porter for me and I was thinkinmg okay it can be either way maybe a split D. but yeah porter didnt feel like a loser to me, chin up for sure

    I cannot believe that Porter got up from that bomb and went back on the attack

    I think underdog bias has a lot to do with it too, i don’t say that as a bad thing, we all get swept up in it at times.

    Agreed. It's already a welterweight classic in my mind. Wish it was 15 rounds.
