    I'm not saying a KO isn't ALSO getting dropped & stopped.

    I'm saying a KO is a bunch of things including a cuts stoppage.

    Its certainly listed on Paulie's record as a KO I know that much. Its one of his 8 career KO's or however many KO's last I looked.

        Yea that sounds about right actually.

        And idk how we deem Spence does better than Porter outside of the obvious, Spence wins where Porter didn't.

        If Brook wins idk how you deem who did better between Spence & Porter in a reasonable & fair way that couldn't be extremely subjective based upon possible common failures with boxing like bad scorecards, bad stoppages, punch stats being controversial & not always telling the story of a fight among other things.

          I remember this clearly, picked Brook to win back then. He was hungrier, fresher but he hasn't progress since that fight. Now he too is facing the same situation that he was in with Porter 3 years ago in Spence.

              Yeah, because that's where they were in their careers. Brook had no one on his resume. And NSB prediction polls also said Porter over Brook.

              I think that Jake Donovan is one of the best writers on BS and he picked Porter by UD. Cliff Rold is also another good writer on BS, he also picked Porter to beat Brook.

              Most experts didn't like Brook's struggles with the rugged Carson Jones.

              You are now gloating via hindsight bias.

              How about you make your predictions public at all times and then see how many you have correct. You'll be wrong a bunch of times.

                The cuts were caused by punches, the fight if officially a TKO in the books.

                  Someone should dig up my post on the Porter/Brook fight when I said two things:

                  1. Porter does not hit anywhere near as hard as the Paulie fight made it look and he isnt the "mini Tyson"

                  2. Porter is too basic and if Brook can control his volume, he wins

                  I'm telling you all this now:

                  1. Spence is going to come out aggressive and if Brook can counter him early, he can counter him late

                  2. Brook on points or late stoppage but Spence will make it tough and physical

                      Everyone picked Foreman to crush Ali too.

                      Should people be afraid to pick Spence because Porter lost? What the hell kind of logic is that?

                      You never know until the fight..... except in the case of Pacquiao-Horn.
