    I felt Spence won the fight in the late rounds
    Just got the better of Porter who was winging many shots
    The cards were off , much closer than they had it
    Spence really had no answer for Porter’s aggressive style until he slowed down in the later rounds

      No this was no robbery.

      I hate it when people call close, hotly contested fights robberies.

      Paul Williams beating Lara was a robbery.

        Would the welterweight division be better if Porter won this fight....? No! He tried his best and it wasn't good enough. Can Shawn beat other Welters if he fights like this every fight....? Yes. Can Shawn Porter fight like he did tonight every fight...? I don't think he can. It takes a lot of energy to keep coming forward and bulling his way into position plus he leaves himself open to a good counter. Bottom line, Shawn Porter was not robbed.

          Very close fight, 114:113 either way would have been fair.

            I think mentally spence is defeated as his expectations was too high and said it himself other than stoppage it’d be a disappointment.
            Not only did he not stop porter, porter also managed to put in very good rounds and mauled him. And many times made him look bad than the other way around.
            You can see it in his body language. He was trying to dance2 and look cool to convince us he fine and everything under control when it’s not...
            the KD definitely gave way of separation.. had it not happen there’d be more complaints of robbery. The fight itself is close.. and if im one of the judges i would have given it to porter.

              Spence won the fight. Just because it was closer than it’s supposed to be doesn’t change that fact. Especially with the knock down. Come on

                Did anyone have Porter ahead 8-1 or 7-2 going into the 10th? Because he clearly lost the last 3 rounds. If you want to cry robbery, you had to have Porter ahead 8-1 or 7-2 going into the 10th and I just don't see how that's possible.

                    Do we agree that Porter clearly lost the last 3 rounds? (I hope we do). Including the knockdown in the 11th(2 point round). The ABSOLUTE ONLY WAY this would be a robbery is if anyone had porter up 8-1 or 7-2 going into the 10th. Even if you had it 6-3 in favor of Porter going into the 10th, that's a 1 point victory for Spence with the knockdown. We can debate rounds 1-9, but 10-12 were Spence's. And I need for someone to explain how they had a 8-1 or 7-2 card for either fighter going into the 10th.
