Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Drops Porter, Wins Split Decision To Unify Titles

[The Big Dunn]

Porter Was Robbed by two judges.

You can Count on Robbery’s like clock work 😂😆

Porter out worked Spence forget compubox

This is interesting. You don’t like the outcome and call it a robbery. Then make up a narrative that is totally opposite of what actually happened. Then you tell people to ignore an objective measure of who landed more because it proves your reasoning for calling it a robbery false.

Great fight!
Porter is not complaining.

I cant believe how dirty Errol 'Stench' Spence was against Shawn Porter. Here we see Errol Stench get the knockdown in the eleventh round by holding Shawn Porter's head down long enough to land the left hand that drops the former WBC welterweight champion -- I just hate when someone loses like this.

Errol Spence always holds his opponents head and sneaks them, and the low blows, unbelievable. I think I remember Shawn Porter saying he was never been the one that got deducted points in his career, despite Errol's allegations that Porter was a dirty fighter ; but Spence here should of had points taken -- Jack Reiss screwed us again.

The 'Bronze-Bomber' Deontay Wilder was in the audience in the second row, he must of been sick to his stomach watching that crook Jack Reiss rob Shawn Porter, like Reiss robbed the 'Bronze-Bomber' a KO victory against the Gypsy-Bum Tyson Fury last December. 2019 will be remembered for all the bad officiating that changed the course of boxing. Jack Reiss should be banned from the sport!

No real boxing fan should complain about the "hold" that preceded that knockdown left hook. Those types of moves are commonplace. Regarding the low blows, I agree with not deducting points as in many cases Porter was also warned for bending over at the waist.

Spence Jr vs Crawford - The Battle Of Low Blows

[Clegg]

Good fight, Porter did better than I expected but that's more credit to him than criticism of Spence. I don't think Spence gets the Pac fight, would be pleased for Porter to get it. Fight wasn't super close in rounds won IMO but Porter fought hard even in the rounds he lost.

TBH it wouldn't surprise me If Garcia actually did beat Spence given his good counter punching abilities. His power is also on par with Brook, and the fact that Danny should come in desperate knowing this may be his last shot at the elite level after losing 2 relatively close fights to Porter and Thurman.

In my view Danny Garcia loses to Spence for the same reasons he lost to Thurman and Porter. He depends heavily on his opponent lunging in and catching his with a mid range left hook then straight right hand. That might be tough against the longer southpaw in Spence. I also I wonder if Danny has the power and physicality to discourage a stalking Spence. It would be a good close scrap.

Topnotch gifs

Thanks.

Great finds. Seeing the gifs made me lose some respect for Spence. I mean one could still argue that he won the fight, but the low blows plus this hold that led to the knockdown make him seem like a dirty—and more importantly, overrated—fighter to me.

I agree with you taskgoal. Stench was dirty throughout the fight. Some good moments from the former WBC welterweight champion 'Showtime' Shawn Porter.

I didn't write the rules bro, you can call it what you want but, holding and hitting is breaking the rules. Glad you acknowledge the low-blows, Porter was ducking, bobbing and weaving ; Errol knew this and set that trap in the eleventh round -- Shawn's movement and defense was too much for Errol Stench, Errol had to do something about it and bent the rules, it paid off.

The ducking below the waist is also against the rules. So is grabbing and turning your opponent. We can't just be "by the book" when breaking a rule results in an undesired outcome.

The movement and defense was better than many of us expected but not too much for Spence, especially considering he landed more and the cleaner punches (body work exclusive of the low punches was beautiful).

This was a good scrap with plenty of action. I guess nitpick complaining is the thing to do when your guy or your pick doesn't win.

Great fight last night. I had it 7-4-1 for Spence with a 10-10 first round cause neither guy did much of anything.

Spence went low quite a bit in the fight, I'm surprised he didn't lose a point.
Porter kept coming as usual, he's got a great chin and stamina.
Spence landed the better punches but he got put through hell to get that W.

Spence vs Danny is a one sided beat down IMO. Waste of time... not sure why they cant sit down with Crawfords team and make a deal. I guess they just don't want the fight.

Porter vs Crawford would be interesting, I'd like to see Arum make Porter a good offer for a spring fight.

Good fights overall. I think the scores in the Barrios fight were friggen ridiculous also, that other kid put it on him from rounds 5-12
116-111 was disgraceful....

We all know Shawn Porter is no Floyd Mayweather or Guillermo Rigonduex trying to duck below the waist for defensive purposes, Shawn had to come in under Errol Stench long reach to implement his offense. I personally feel you exaggerate.
