Everyone needs to watch the fight 1 more time. I didn’t have Porter way ahead heading into the 11th. No one in the theater where I saw the fight had Porter way ahead, and 90% of the theater tonight were beginning fighters with their trainers. We all had the fight almost dead even heading into the 11th. Both fighters have a good account of themselves up to that point. The knockdown and the 12th lost the fight for Porter. But we wouldn’t have argued with a draw either.

I just don’t see what fight people were watching having Porter WAY AHEAD before the knockdown of after the knockdown. I think that is based on emotions and not carefully watching each round to see who was landing the cleaner shots. So you have to watch it again.

In some of those rounds, Spence was catching Porter with cleaner and more accurate shots and some of the rounds Porter was catching Spence with good shots. True, spence hit Porter low several times, pulled his head down, pushed him, etc; but that is on the ref. He has to deduct a point or else the fighter will keep doing it. And a lot of times, Spence hit Porter slow intentionally just to slow down his momentum.

But I did see some rounds were Porter clearly won and the other way around with Spence clearly winning some rounds. And I saw some rounds that were a toss up. I had the fight 115-112 Spence on 2 cards and I can see how a judge could score it for Porter 115-112 too. Only 1 judge scored it 115-112 but he did for Porter, not spence.

If you score the 11th 10-8 for Spence because of the knockdown and give him the 12th, he would have only needed to win 5 other rounds to get a score of 115. I had Spence winning the 3, 5, 8, & 9, & 10. He landing more cleaner and accurate punches. I had Porter winning 1, 2, 4, 6, & the 7th. But even with scoring the rounds this way, a few could have went for Porter or Spence. Again, I believe it boiled down to the 11th & Spence taking the 12th.

Spence looked small compared too shawn too

[Morganbox]

With such so so performance Pacman will gobble up Spence if and when they meet next.

LOL we saw what small Shawn Porter did to Spence. Spence's face looks pretty bruised. Crawford takes Spence to school. Not even a contest.

Either you are incredibly dense or you dont know s*** about boxing. What has Crawford done at 147? He literally got a free belt from Jeff Horn who shouldn't have had it in the first place and beat up glass jaw Amir Khan ( who got his money and quit).

Here's a question...where's the outrage about who Crawford is fighting next? Why aren't we hearing Crawford calling out Thurman, Garcia, Porter, Ugas, or any other name brand Welterweight not named pacquiao or Spence????

Haymon won't risk Spence in against Crawford so we may as well forget that match-up. Next stop a tune-up for Spence then this time next year he'll take on an ageing, fading Pac for the third belt.

You think Danny Garcia is a tune-up?
Ugas is the WBC mandatory
Manny will probably face Mickey Garcia next.

[CaptainWalrus]

What a fight! That was a close one. Respect!

[Thaman2x]

You don't know shiiiit about boxing! Good fight but Spence looked slow and at times looked as if he had two left feet!

Nah b...YOU DONT KNOW ***** ABOUT BOXING... Spence clearly fought Porter's fight...and won. Gtfoh. Do you realize how awkward a fighter porter is? Go kick rocks with open-toe Sandals, you bottom feeder

The movies is my favorite way to watch these fights now. $25 and the people in the audience are just as entertaining as the fight.

That's ridiculous and biased, no way Shawn only won 3 rounds. The biased commentators and punch stats really swayed some people tonight.

LMFAO what??? The commentators were biased in Porter's favor, if anything! Wtf is wrong with you people....prolly the same type of people that voted ***** in office.
