Spence hasn't faced anyone with the footspeed and athleticism of Porter. That awkward herky jerky sht isn't pleasant to watch but it's effective, and Porter's exceptional conditioning allows him to pull it off for 8-9 rounds.
Porter has a beard on him too, withstood the power of Thurman, and a flush GARSH.
I don't even like Porter in fact I hate his style, but this fight won't be easy for Spence, he won't be able to get into his comfort zone like we're used to seeing.
This thread is actually pretty decent compared to the trash I kept having to sift through on this forum and the general boxing media. Spence was meant to destroy, dominate and ko porter. Porter was tailor made, it was a horrible matchup for him. After the fight it’s “he’s not exposed, everyone has a tough fight with porter”.
i would be surprised and impressed if spence stops porter. this is by far the biggest challenge of his career. brook was done after the GGG fight. porter is tough and rugged and spence couldn't stop little mikey. this will be a good fight
And Porter is really motivated for this more than Ive seen him before so he will be primed and coming to win, Im really looking forward to it.
Spence didnt stop Garcia its not wise to believe couldnt, he never went for it, he was so controlled and boxed so tight, he said before the fight how he was going to win and did, its definitely not a case of he couldnt stop him.
He is saying for this fight he will beat Porter up and stop him, lets see if he can or cant stop Porter, I think this fight is Errol's coming out party in the minds of doubters.
Best of luck to both guys in a quality fight..

Good point .
Mikey might be a better boxer but he's waaay smaller than Porter .
Doubt Spence stops him either .
Spence is like Ugas as in as big and strong and keeps coming, or he can outbox a master boxer, yep like Ugas only 10 times better and I thought Ugas beat Porter . I think Errol will prove to be the best WW at the moment.
Great post. Green K.
I also don't see Porter doing anything.

I think he can for at the very least have his MOMENTS vs Spence Jr for sure! Who doesn't Porter Troubles though lets be honest. He is a Work Horse, he is Durable, Great Chin and Great Stamina! Not the most Technically sound, always compared him to Cornelius "K9" Bundrage. Not boxers but more so FIGHTERS!
Look forward to see what Strategy Spence Jr has for Porter but no I don't expected to be easy at all, it shouldn't be easy that is why he is WBC Champion (well technically because Thurman got injured is why he has the WBC Belt :lol1: ) and this is a Unification Bout!
I never understand the HATE for Shawn and Kenny Porter...OK maybe Kenny who can be a bit overbearing but Shawn always very humble, approachable and always came off as a nice guy :dunno:
It's Foreman-Frazier if Porter tries to outhustle him inside....it's a methodical beatdown if he tries to flurry and move. Spence too big and too much power.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. Shawn is as rugged and tough as they come, and I think him being such a sizable underdog gives him nothing to lose and he'll be fueled by that.
But I just don't see anyway how he can outhustle Errol to a win...Errol's too good, too strong, too big to let happen.
Porter needs to be porter to trouble Spence. I hope he dont try to get out of his comfort zone by boxing and sht.
He needs to be his dirty self and maul spence.
