Comments Thread For: Ugas Requests WBC To Grant Immediate Rematch With Porter

[yoshik]

He clearly deserves an immediate rematch.

Great all time fighter picks! Add Michael Spinks. He would have beaten any LHW from the 80's until today. Ward would get KOd.

No rematch Porter won that fight by a round and he’s the champ so you must take it to the champ or completely outbox him or do more damage!

Ugas did well but too many times he’s stood there posing and making gestures instead of throwing punches!

I felt if Ugas would’ve worked to the body while going forward nonstop it would’ve been interesting for Porter!

Porter fought a dumb fight, I definitely think he killed himself to make weight this time and it showed in the late rounds where Porter looked to run out the clock while Ugas was coming forward more times than not!

Ugas vs Lopez would be pretty good while we want Thurman vs Porter 2 or Pacquiao vs Porter!

Still shocked that people are calling this a close fight. It was clear as day victory for Ugas.

Close fight and not a robbery. I expected more from Ugas instead of him looking at what Porter was doing instead of fighting.

And what exactly was porter doing? Moonwalking lol.

I thought Ugas won but we dont want to watch this trash again

I hope Ugas gets the rematch but if he does I would suggest that he not rely solely on being a counter puncher. Judges probably gave Porter more credit than he deserved for pressing the action. While Ugas did appear to stalk, he would often just stand there flexing and waiting for Porter to throw. He seemed faster and sharper than Porter at times so he should be first.

For Porter, he had his most success when using the jab. And as he does in most of his fights, when he goes in, he gets too close and smother his own punches. I also think he needs more inside training because his punch doesn't seem too effective in there.

Ugas did enough to get himself in the talks with other welterweights, but dammit, we don't need to see a Porter rematch. He should've taken care of business last weekend.

[Manic Shot]

Next time he needs a chair to sit down while waiting an opening to counterpunch.
Seriously i don't want to see the rematch, they need to fight somebody else.

[slimPickings]

The decision was controversial not because of incompetence but rather a deliberate act to favor one fighter.

Take out the built in bias/agenda and Ugas's hand should have been raised.

Unless he can knock Shawn out , i would not be surprised with the same outcome in a rematch.


The Porters already know Ugas is HIGH risk LOW reward, so unless a gun is held to their head, they will try to avoid a rematch at every cost.

I had it 7-5 Ugas and I do think he deserves an Immediate Rematch but that is not likely because it is bigger fights to make with Porter vs Thurman II or Porter vs Spence Jr IF he beats Mikey Garcia of course and they ALL want Pacquiao

Ugas shouldn't drop in Rankings and should stay in position for another shot IMO. Maybe put him in a Eliminator with Kerman Lejarraga or something.
