Comments Thread For: Spence: Shawn Porter is a 'Dirty' Fighter - We'll Have Plan For That

[Bad_Guy]

Porter is going to get dropped and eventually stopped while using his dumbass style of boxing against Spence.

[Curtis2]

Spence fought a different fight against Garcia, everyone knows that, trying to show he has a higher boxing IQ than Mikey Garcia. And his brother should have stopped that fight and not let it go 12. Porter will get punished and stopped, styles make fights. And it makes no sense why Bud isn’t getting any fights with the other top welterweights like Danny Garcia, Thurman, Porter, or Spence. Maybe he needs to drop “Grumpy Old Bob.”

Do you truly believe Spence fought differently intentionally? I sure don't believe so. Porter will survive 12, no doubt. Lastly, the 4 WW you mentioned will never step up to Crawford, they realize they can't compete with Bud. Why do you think no body is pursuing Bud's championship belt? Especially D Garcia & Thurman...they used to always talk about wanting & deserving to fight for champions belts...

Do you actually believe any fighter is afraid to face another fighter? Why even enter into the sport of boxing. So I don’t believe it’s that at all. I suspect it’s guys like Haymon, Arum, their managers, and camps controlling the business side of boxing. I seriously doubt if anyone is afraid of Bud including Manny.

And sometimes you don’t have to stop a guy to break his will. Play back those late rounds again with Spence and Garcia, he was getting punished, even his brother threatened to stop it. And we can’t minimize the heart and toughness of Mikey Garcia. Porter will come straight at Spence and get punished to the body and the head. He will get stopped or daddy will throw in the towel. His style is tailor made for Spence.

And I am still trying to figure out who Bud has fought for full blown welterweights to be afraid of him. And I like Bud. A lot actually. But are you going off Jeff Horn? I hope not.

And here is Spence’s quote of fighting Crawford today.

“SPENCE: HOW AM I AVOIDING CRAWFORD?

“How am I avoiding him if I’m fighting in a unification fight with Shawn Porter?” said Spence to Fighthub about Crawford. [Porter is] Atop 5 welterweight so the last time I remember the WBC ordered me and him to fight each other and, you know, he didn’t take the fight. So, nobody is avoiding Terence Crawford. It’s big fish on this side too that I got to fry. So, once I get rid of [Manny] Pacquiao and Shawn Porter, then we can sit down and talk about Terence Crawford. But nobody’s avoiding him,” said Spence.”

Translation: Get a real f@cking belt and fight a top welterweight and wait in line like everyone else.

Welterweight Belts:
IBF- Errol Spence
WBC-Shawn Porter
WBA-Manny
WBO-Bud Crawford

[MEXICAN STYLE]

Spence will destroy Porter

[Walexhris]

[QUOTE=1hourRun;19989673]It was like watching paint dry.

Semantics aside, Errol Spence is going to get mauled if he starts crying about any fouls vs. relentless Shawn Porter
Yeah I agree, watching paint dry.....but b4 we talk about the paint drying,we have to talk about the actual painting
Watching paint dry to me, was watching Mickey at the post fight conference
And Errol wouldn't cry abt fouls, he'd just return d favour....I do hope porter doesn't cry when he gets a taste of his medicine, cause until now he hasn't

[Walexhris]

He'll have Spencer's dome leaking by rd 2, lol.

Lol
I wish boxing scene had platform for individual betting
Something like an escrow to hold the money until the fight is over
They get 10% of the amount won of course

[SplitSecond]

Spence is dirtier than Porter. Porter is rough and his style leads to headbutts but he’s not intentionally trying to billy goat people like Ward. Spence is always intentionally hitting low, pulling the head and hitting and likes to hit the back of the head. Should be a decent fight.

[MDPopescu]

I don't know Errol, you shown to be a little soft when it comes to the roughhouse aspect of boxing. You didn't stop Mickey either so maybe 'Showtime' Porter kicks your ass.

... Both of Peterson's eyes were swelling shut by the seventh round, and as the bell sounded to start the eighth, his trainer Barry Hunter called for it to be stopped by referee Harvey Dock.

I wouldn't use the word afraid, I'd say fighters avoid certain fighters due to the risk involved, avoiding losses & physical damage. If Horn & Khan were asked this question...who's a more dangerous fighter? Horn vs Pac or Crawford and Khan vs Canelo or Crawford, they'd each would say Crawford more dangerous, guaranteed! Crawford was doing more damage to Khan & Horn than Canelo & Pac did to same fighters.

I would rather compare the (2) fighters open for debate and their best wins on their resume at welterweight, Spence and Crawford. So Spence’s win against Brook, a true welterweight who had only 1 loss going into that fight against GGG, moving up in weight is a better win at welterweight than anybody Crawford fought at welterweight. And if Spence beats Porter, his resume is even stronger at welterweight.

The Brook win is a little stronger win than Crawford’s win against Horn. Most on this forum would suggest Brook who had already beat Shawn Porter when he fought Spence, is a better win than Crawford against Horn, who I believe is highly over rated. If you want to throw the only other notable welterweight that Crawford fought, although after having (4) losses, Amir Khan, I would throw in Spence’s wins against Chris Algieri (former champion at welterweight) and Lamont Peterson, (former champion at welterweight). Both are also true welterweights. And Crawford wouldn’t have knocked out Mikey Garcia either so stop it with that narrative. He hasn’t even fought anyone on Mikey Garcia’s level yet in his career. Mikey is a very good boxer and a tough out for anybody in the welterweight division.
