Comments Thread For: Porter: The Only Thing I Didn't Want To Hear Was 'Split Draw'

Everyone knows that a PBC fighter matched with a no name wins on the score cards. It's a PBC thing, common knowledge.

When a boxer went down after a shot is a count, even when he slip. IS the rule but not for latins like cubans whthout fan base.

Incorrect.

An official knockdown is ruled in boxing when a fighter is punched and:

a) a part of his/her body other than the feet touch the canvas (such as his butt or glove)

b) when a fighter is being held up by the ropes (i.e. the fighter would have fallen had the ropes not been there)

c) when a fighter is hanging on, through or over the ropes and

d) cannot protect himself and, for whatever reason, is lodged on a position where he can't fall

A slip or fall to the canvas by a boxer, resulting in any of the above conditions, is not a knockdown.

There is no "I hit him, he slipped and it was a knockdown". The punch itself must cause the fall.

I'm not going to bother justifying your last sentence by debating it.

Porter lost. Period. Nothing in an apologetic post can change the truth. He lost and Ugas deserve the win. All people saw that, except the fanaticals like you and others

I don't see it that way and I'm most definitely not a fanatical or a Porter fan. I saw a close, tactically ugly fight where neither guy bothered to assert himself. Neither can argue the outcome when they didn't do enough to win the fight. Ugas' scowl doesn't score points, punches do - and he simply didn't work enough to separate himself. Those are the cold hard facts.

Ugas lost partially because he got away from the jab. He threw 20+ jabs 5 out of the first 6 rounds. He threw 20+ jabs in 1 of the last 6 rounds. Even though they weren't effective early they were helping to dictate the pace of the fight. He got away from it, Porter didn't and that allowed Porter to take rounds.

This! Ugas could of done a whole lot more and he didn't. He stalked, waited, and talked more than he fought. It's crazy that every close fight nowadays is seen as a robbery. The fight imo could of went either way and I would of been happy with either decision. It was close.

[BoxingIsGreat]

That's one of the biggest recent robberies, IMO. Ugas looked pretty good and Porter garbage, as usual. Give the man a rematch and next.

[Joeboxeo]

Ugas won clearly! He was the boss in the ring all evening. Rematch needed

[A.K]

Oh look another wrong decision oh well who cares it’s boxing

[Bob Haymon]

All these PBC welterweights aside from Spence are on the decline. The only fight that makes sense in the division is Crawford-Spence, everything else would be a one-sided blowout.

[Phill lynott]

This week's crime in boxing! C'mon judges, when the intimidator becomes scared and it showed from the 3rd rd on, how do you still give him the dicision?

[PunchyPotorff]

Not the most fun fight to watch. Neither fighter did much to impress. But if Ugas thought he should've won by making faces and playing follow-the-leader, he's sadly mistaken. Porter didn't do a lot, but he did out-land Ugas, so there's the end result.
