    Never saw the fight but think people are being a bit harsh. Why did Garcia pull out?

    You know Porter is basically an overachieving sparring partner, it's not surprising that he struggles, he has many disadvantages in the ring...

    I think his power and speed are good

    But his technique definitely needs some work

    No doubt Hearn will be shouting that Porter has been 'Brooked' soon. Ergh.

    Losing one, two at the very most, of the first four rounds and then scoring a KO victory is now "struggling?"

    I get that all terms are relative... but ought we make it to the second half of the fight before we start saying those things? Otherwise almost every legend ever has "struggled" in half or more of their career fights.

    Come on, people!
