I don't know why Spence doesn't move up to Middleweight??? He CLEARLY can! Why keep fighting these much smaller guys???

Shawn porter fought most of his amateur career @ middleweight. With wins over Usyk, Jacobs, and Andrade ....

He debut at super middleweight (165 actually) and has weighed in @ 152 or above 15 times in his career, and once @ 150...

Weight is not an issue in this fight and it’s not Spence’s fault Porter is 5’6 lol

Porter has a good chin. Unlikely Spence knocks him out

Porter knew speed being a sparring partner of prime Pacman. War Showtime.

His chin has been tested and passed the test, but has his body been tested though? #Spencethebodysnatcher

The way he fights he makes it difficult to land enough relevant shots to the body but we will see what happens

If Porter can make it real ugly and smother Spence he has a shot, however I expect Spence to win here. He is a big WW and ought to be able to deal with Porter's rough style well enough to do enough damage to earn a clear UD.

... but I remember Brook smothering Porter really badly...

Porter is that guy you knew growing up that is always smiling but you can’t let the smile fool you. He uses all the roughest and dirtiest tactics he knows in a fight. I’m hoping this fight doesn’t stop on cuts.

... As I said above: I still remember Brook rough-housing Porter pretty well...

Spence for the w here, in a tough tough matchup

And I never said Spence won’t rough up Porter in my comment. Spence gets down pretty rough in fights also when he has to.

Damn! He beat Usuk, Jacobs, and Andrade?? What stalled his career??? That sounds like a HOFame Resume.
