Comments Thread For: Errol Spence Drops Porter, Wins Split Decision To Unify Titles

[7not8]

If you don't lean heavily to the su****ion Crawford makes Spence look downright silly after Porter just gave him the scrap of his career thus far, pass me some of what you're smoking asap.

I see what ur saying, but, how do u think a fight between Crawford v Porter would look or pan out? It's very difficult to look nice against Porter. I used to favor Spence over Bud but not so much anymore. I think Bud's footwork and hand speed may be all the difference if/when they eventually meet in the ring. I don't know if Bud would make Spence look silly; however, I believe he would win if he stays smart. Staying smart would be key because if Gamboa rocked Crawford, Spence could put him to sleep. Good post.

Yep, fight of the year.

Just a bit surprised that a guy who is supposedly so technically sound backs up straight instead of turning his opponent. How come his team didn't,t work on that? Didn't they know Porter comes in charging?

Yall are spot on. Like Mayweather would say, up and down fighter, no special effects. Something tells me he get's exposed at 154 when skills come into play much more than just your size and power. Spence get's hit clean to often, he's just strong enough to take it given who he's facing atm.

Porter is a great fighter, two warriors going at it in there.

Porter is a hard fight for anyone, no shame in being in a close SD with him.

24 hours earlier

Porter is a bum, he lost to Ugas.
Spence is right, porter an in shape street fighter, easy night for Spence.
Porter rushing in plays into Spence’s style, he doesn’t go 9 rounds.

If they offer him a fight like that (Canelo @ AT&T), he has to take it! That Canelo bag is a life changer! I'd love to see it!

You still mad he beat Mikey

WOW! That was an amazing fight! Porter made a strong case for winning. Great win for Spence and congratulations to him on winning another title!

I think it's important to remember is Porter is what you would call a front runner type fighter. He's always appeared to be stronger than his opponents early in fights, hell it appeared he was stronger or just as strong as Spence last night for the 1st few rounds. He was also strong enough to spin Spence off the ropes and put him on against the ropes several times, but ultimately fights are won and lost on skills for the most part.

Strength skills and stamina

I see it much like you. Spence is fast but Crawford is much quicker with better reflexes, like that quick-twitch Mayweather had, very sharp. Also Crawford counter punching is superior. Crawford probably ends up hurting Spence with a quick counter early, then boxes and coasts to a victory as Spence rallies back but never fully recovers in time to catch up as Crawford doesn't take uneccessary risks to put himself in a position for Spence to catch him.

People must 1st realize Crawford and Porter are very good friends, they have both said they aren't really interested in fighting each other. However Crawford has proven he can keep you on the outside for 12 rounds while Spence is more of an inside fighter. So Crawford goes through a few rough patches but would ultimately outclass Porter with his counter punching and pot shotting, in a Maywetherish type of fight, probably with boos and boring patches as Crawford does only whats necessary to get the job done, nothing extra.

People make a bit too much about the Gamboa thing. It was at a lighter weight Crawford was probably already grown out of and then it was counter puncher vs counter puncher with Crawford taking risks he probably wouldn't take at high weights because he figured he could stop Gamboa as he did soon after.

Strength skills and stamina

More like skills and stamina. Virtually everyone Floyd fought at 147 was stronger than him and outweighed him by anywhere from 8-16 pounds on fight nights.

[garfios]

No it won't. Ugas is a better boxer than porter, heavy handed and a killer body puncher. It will be a really good fight.
