Porter has been looking progressively more drained

I think a lot of us predicted years ago that Porter's style would not age well. Brawlers usually don't.

As far as beating Spence, I don't see it. The only thing Shawn can do is bully but Spence is a better bully, PLUS he can box. I don't see a single thing Porter does better than Spence.

Spence isn’t a better bully, if he was brook wouldn’t have had him reeling all around the ring. Spence is a better technician and more precise with his punches but has a major weakness in that he doesn’t like to fight when the other guy is fighting. The reason I can’t pick porter is because all his attributes have taken a hit and he fades worse than ever now.

The fact that Spence was able to eat everything from Brook and still keep coming at him, eventually breaking his face and finishing him, it a perfect example of why he's a better bully. Porter was not able to do that to Brook, though he tried and tried.

If you disagree, that's fine.

Winning a fight = better bully? We have different definitions of a bully then. Spence did better vs brook because he knows how to fight out of a clinch and not smother his work like porter who was especially bad with at that stage. My definition of a bully though does not include being pushed around whenever the other guys chooses to push you around.

If you didn't pick up on it, that's OK. It definitely wasn't what you inferred from my post though.

The dude was so damn confused. It's like he's looking for help and trying to hide his fear at the same time. He made a lot of child like faces.

After seeing Porter’s lackluster performance agaisnt Ugas, I think he is going to have a long night against Spence. Porter has to make this ugly (which is his style anyway) to make this fight competitive. Commit to the body and be a human windmill.
