Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter vs. Yordenis Ugas - Reflecting Back on The Fight

[otrocubiche]

At the end of the fight there was one person who was sure Porter had lost, Porter himself, his attitude and face at the end of the fight clearly indicated he knew he had been beat.

Close fight could have gone either way nothing to get worked up about at all.I had it 7-5 Porter if you had 7-5 or even 8-4 Ugas fine no agreement from me.Lets just not throw around the word "robbery" its WAY OVERUSED and takes away from fights that are BS.

I just re-watched round 12 twice. The Ugas camp keeps saying he clearly won that round, but it was very similar to the prior 12 rounds - Porter kept coming in and out of range, landing shots that weren't obviously clean while Ugas would counter with a few clean shots on occasion. Porter usually blocked the counters, however.

If you consider it a slip (which I do - Porter blocked that punch and his rear foot gave out), there is not a clear winner in that round. I think compubox gave Ugas more landed punches, but if DeLuca favored Porter's activity and footwork over Ugas's occasional counters, it is definitely not a robbery to give Porter round 12.

Very good points it was a close fight that could go either way But it was Porter that compu-box had landing more punches.It was like 144-122 but their not perfect just two guys counting punches one for each.And not sure if it was Compu-box or just FOX's version but I did have it 7-5 Porter but have NO PROB with someone having Ugas winning.But KD in 12th I do think it was a slip along with kinda of a sweeping right hand that landed on gloves and shoulder and maybe part of back of head.I hate when I hear announcers say that "any punch above belt that lands is a KD"BULL SHI TE if the punch lands on shoulder or someplace where ITS CLEAR that it did not hurt fighter in ANY WAY then who wants to see that called a KD and have ANY fighter maybe lose over it.

All i know is that of the two fighters I would rather be Ugas in this one.

Truly do not know what to make of Porter with all that reckless athleticism and winging shots constantly hitting at hot air.

My advice to him is to try and get a money fight and quick before losing his belt to a low reward and high risk opponent as this one was.

He ought to thank the judges for protecting his future earnings.

Too bad no body is going to be rushing to mess with Ugas.
