Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Eyes Knockout: I Feel Like I'll Stop Shawn Porter!

[Sledgeweather17]

Spence won’t get the Porter that fought Garcia. Garcia doesn’t have a lot of activity. He waits mostly to counter punch with his left hook and over hand right, that’s he swings wildly sometimes. And sometimes with his head down. Spence is more of an offensive fighter that likes to dictate punishment to the body and head. And he is always observing and looking straight ahead at the opponent. He comes forward all night and is willing to exchange to get his power shots off. But he can box a little too, he has a good solid amateur background and is technically and fundamentally sound. And he has a very solid chin.

The version of Porter I believe we will see against Spence is the one we saw in the first round against Garcia. He boxed more and I was kinda impressed. He is very athletic on his feet. He moved and didn’t really rush in that 1st round. He tried to score and used the ring beautifully in that 1st round. Once he got used to Danny and felt a little of his power, he became more active and threw more punches and took more chances and felt comfortable going inside to try to rough up Danny a little.

But I don’t see him throwing a lot of punches against Spence. I don’t see him trying to over power Spence. I don’t see him trying to bully Spence on the inside because that’s Spence’s fight. I see Porter trying to box against Spence, use his athleticism, and win a decision.

And Porter saw his own fight against Brook and then saw Spence destroy Brook. Porter knows and his dad knows Spence is a different animal. The crazy thing is Porter is athletic and tough enough to win a decision against Spence.

He will never win a decision against Spence.

Spence is a better boxer than Porter so even if they fought on the outside all night long Porter would get peppered all night long.

However Spence is very good at forcing his style on an opponent and cutting the ring off. So if Spence decides he wants to force the issue Porter will have no choice Spence will cut him down and destroy him.

Also remember that Porter struggled to land his shots on the outside against Garcia. Garcia's height troubled him, although Porter has a much longer treach than Garcia which is what helped him stay in the fight despite the height difference.

Spence however is taller than even Garcia, who dwarfed Porter at the weigh in, and his reach is even longer than Porter's.

Honestly as good a fighter as Porter is I would be EXTREMELY surprised if he won. First I'll be surprised if he lasts the twelve rounds, secondly if he wins a decision as I feel even he lasted twelve rounds he wouldn't be able to do it without getting knocked down a couple of times.

Porter is physically very strong. I wouldn't be suprised if he's just as strong or even stronger than Spence. Even though I pick Spence to win don't sleep on Porter's physical strength.

Dude Porter was not even stronger than Garcia so stfu with that ish.

Very insightful by you. But that’s why I said with Porters athleticism, he “could” make it interesting and “could” win a decision. I just don’t think he will against Spence. I don’t think he can withstand the punishment that Spence can dish out round after round and get through the fight. But we both have seen a lot of upsets and surprises in boxing over the years. Does Porter have the chin and body to tough out those shots he will absorb from Spence and out score him for 12 rounds? Will he fight scared or with heart like he did against Thurman. Those are the million dollar questions.

With a bum filled resume of 98% lesser caliber than even Algieri, some people think Crawford beats anybody...

Ok now you're being a fùcktwit. Stop sucking Spences **** man. Ima start calling you Oring of Fury. Who the fùck did Algieri ever beat? Providnikov was a bad bad call. Algieri lost that fight.

Algieri is 21-3 for fùcks sake.

Horn beat Pacquiao, Algieri didn't. Do we're adding Horn, Indongo, Postol, Lundy, Beltran, Gamboa, and Burns are all better than decent names.
