Comments Thread For: Report: Shawn Porter-Yordenis Ugas Set For March 9 In Las Vegas

Now this is a very decent scrap for a nationally televised network audience. This should be a real treat.

A solid fight. The outcome is predictable. Most likely Porter takes a hard-fought 8-4/7-5 UD. I can't see how Ugas wins this. It's one these fights where you know someone is gonna be competitive but don"t really think he stands a chance of winning. But it should be entertaining so still worth watching.

if Ugas can create some space to work he's knocking Porter out.

If Thurman couldn't, I don't see how Ugas could, he'll get some clear punches up and down but Porter has never been out against better and heavier hitting competition.

I hope nobody says that. Spence could have fought Porter in March, but he decided to take a money fight in Garcia. Spence vs Porter will happen afterward, and Spence's mandatory will already be taken care of once Ugas loses.

Exactly! Spence just needs to....fight...fight somebody. While people are making excuses saying everybody's ducking him, what is he doing? Not fighting. What are all of his "duckers' doing? Fighting. They're fighting.

That's a good fight.

Notice how some champions are forced into consecutive tough fights, as others are handled with a little more care and feeding? Tough fight for Porter.

Porter was never a cherry picker. In his career he fought Thurman, Danny Garcia, Berto, Broner, Alexander, Brook. Guy just wants to take the best fights he can get.

decent fight, Porter should have way more fans, he will fight anyone and both his losses could of gone either way. he wil stop Ugas who was lucky to get a gift agaisnt Dulhorme on short notice and dropped heavily.

That's what I'm saying. Porter gets one tough fight after another, which I commend him for taking, while other champions are content to let the cards fall where they may and take the easier path to glory.
