Comments Thread For: Porter: Spence Sent Message To Entire Welterweight Division

Styles make fights, I think Porter is a very tough match for Spence, harder than brook.

Porter's right. I wouldn't say Brook was the best ww, but I honestly believe he'd have won yesterday if it was against Thurman. I don't buy the weight excuse. I thought he looked in terrific shape, and was clearly physically stronger than Spence during the first half of the fight. Team Brook didn't expect Spence to be able to take shots as well as he serves them. Every time he got hit with a good shot he upped the ante, that's what surprised me the most. Keith just doesn't have that personality.
I think Brook would have been able to keep him behind that jab, and maybe even stop him.

I like Porter as a fighter and person but he was handled by Thurman and Brook. So funny how most nsb posters back in 2014 were either on the Porter or Thurman bandwagon when Porter was still unbeaten and Thurman was still "one-timing" opponents.

SMH at posters on here. Quick to jump on a bandwagon but first time a great fighter runs into some resistance or a ko artist can't get a KO it's because he got exposed and they start the search for a new name.

It's a pity BScene wasn't around when Tyson was unbeaten. Back then instead of a band wagon there was a doubled up freight train carrying all the fanboys back then, ya know, one of those trains that Bruce Springsteen sang about which cross the nation at night and need an hour to rumble past a line of stationary vehicles at a railroad crossing.

Then when the Tyson train derailed I guess 500,000 all jumped at the same time - just like lemmings. Would have been lovely to catch it all online.

Hows that band-wagon looking from up top?

Check my post history. Been rocking with Spence since the amateurs. He has no peers at 147 period. Too young, too strong, too tall, and most importantly too active in the ring. He's old school in an era with few complete fighters.

Stay salty...

Wow, you are amazingly dull-witted. Most people on here and other boxing sites have been praising Spence as a beast for over two years now. Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon now, they have been on. It is just Haymon doesn't pay BS like Loeffler and others do, so while there is always at least one, and usually three or more, stories about G, there is never anything on Spence except for when he fights. But yes, go back and look at previous articles on Spence and you will see, people are saying "I told you so!" Because they did.

Second, Porter was "handled" by Thurman and Brook??? Both of those fights were extremely close and could have went either way. I agree with both, but both only beat Porter by the slimmest of margins.

So, please, have some idea of what you are talking about, because posts like your last one just shows everyone you are a hater and a troll.

I personally still fell that the loss was mostly due to the broken orbital bone. Not only do you have the blurred vision but also the mental worry that every time you get hit you are closer to losing your sight. Trouble is the blurred vision means you get hit more.

For Brook to suffer a broken orbital bone over different eyes in successive fights means that he has some kind of unusual predisposition to that. Whether he could have won the fight without that happening I don't know. My guess is his max upside would have been a controversial decision.

On another note whdfuq is Adalaide fookin Byrd getting gigs anywhere as a judge - let alone in Sheffield England?

Spence is the real Deal: Thurman will Stay injured until Spence goes to 154

It's time, we have to crown Spence the best at 147. His win over Brook trumps Thurman's win over Danny.

so you're actually the band wagon driver!! - fookin hell - steer a good course then

[nycsmooth]

Porter''s style is made to order for Spence, short and coming... late round TKO 4 Spence... I really do not think Porter wants him after this display yesterday many and the division don't want him...
Forget Pac, that would be a total annihilation...

[bronx7]

Silly rabbit Thurman did more than beat Garcia he beat porter too and everyone else he fight a bunch of guys in top 10. This was Spences only quality opponent win. And what a win it was against the champ in his country broke him down.
