    Regardless of his reasoning, I'm glad he didn't. I haven't rewatched Brook/Porter even once because of all the clinching. I'm more likely to rewatch this one.

      Yeah he didn't even try to do it. See how much better boxing is when that shit isn't killing the action every 15 seconds.

        He didn't have to. Shawn as good as he is at roughing people up and fighting at a fast and vigorous pace, he smothers himself way too much and fights too inaccurately.

          Yeah that fight was horrible. There were times when porter would jump forward to sloppily throw a punch, but would land in a clinch. Repeat and rinse, they went large portions of the later rounds without an actual punch being thrown.
