    Let's get it!

    Do they put this back in Dallas or go to Barclays? And PPV for sure? I know Porter was saying PPV, but is Spence at that level where every fight is PPV going forward?

    Interested in seeing the type of style Porter implements in this fight. Does he try to push Spence back and come with his come forward wild/physical style? Or does he mainly try to stay on the outside and box with Spence?

      There was talk of porter having to have to fight Ugas again. I would believe that before the Errol fight.

        No chance the Ugas fight happens again. Why? Dude is pretty damn good and is a tough to look good against. Porter got the decision win and he's going to run with it.

            I certainly hope Porter doesn't try that same strategy he did against Ugas

              That's the intriguing part of the fight. Against bigger and more physical fighters, Porter has chosen to box more and stay on the outside instead of trying to bully them. I want to see him try to bully Spence and push him back in spots just to see how Spence reacts. I expect Spence to land some hard crisp shots on the inside and for Porter to get discouraged.

              Really it comes down to this, these guys should have been pushing for the Spence fight a year or two ago. Now he is peaking and will be extremely difficult to beat. They had their chance when he was in terms of professional experience a young pup and still refining his skills.

              Good luck to Porter.........

                That would mean he would of faced Brook, Thurman, Garcia and Spence at WW. Fair play to him.

                  Agreed. I also think Porter's only chance to win is to keep it an inside fight and smother Spence. Spence is much better at long and mid range than Porter and I'd say they're about even on the inside.

                    They have different styles on the inside, but one advantage Spence has is he's able to create space better and land crisper shots. Porter will just try to overwhelm you and ends up smothering his own work. Now, that doesn't hurt him at times because the opponent isn't able to get off but he could be doing so much more cleaner work.
