Comments Thread For: Photos: Shawn Porter Snatches Devon Alexander's Title

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York - In taking the IBF welterweight title from Devon Alexander, Ohio’s Shawn Porter did the one thing the majority of the St. Louis native’s opponents couldn’t – he made him fight his fight. And while that fight wasn’t pretty, it enabled him to win a 12 round unanimous decision via scores of 115-113 and 116-112 twice. With the win, Porter improves to 23-0-1 with 14 KOs; Alexander falls to 25-2 with 14 KOs.

Luckily the fight wasn't in St'louis, if not it would have been another controversial 116-112 to Alexander.

Sparring for this fight was the difference porter had the better camp.

LOL, but I thought Devon beat porter when they were 8 years old?
Glad Porter won. He TOOK the title from the champion.

Like was said, not pretty, but Porter did the job. And I like Alexander, but wow, is he ever gonna be a goofy looking joker when he gets to be an old man. HA

And people were sayin this was a mismatch, I'm happy for porter he went in there and took it to Devon and broke him down. I wonder what's next for devon and his trainer?, maybe they can fight only out of st.louis from now on.

Rematch with Matthysse. March/April would be a good fight for both guys at this points in their careers, with the winner moving towards the titles and big nights again.
