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

Outstanding Effort All Else!

Man both guys brought it last night! That was one of the best action fights I have seen in the welterweight division in my 30-plus years of following the sport. Both men got hurt, made adjustments and got hurt again for their troubles.

Porter in particular did some things in there that I did not think he was capable of before the fight. I don't think Spence expected it either since he had a shocked look on his face at a few different times throughout the fight. But like an a elite level champion should, Spence answered with that terrific hook in the 11th round that effectively saved the fight for him. Porter had no business getting up from that shot! Hell of a chin on that guy!

Nobody lost last night including us the fans. Outstanding effort from both men!

Please explain exactly and precisely why. Porter was a champion in his prime and a damn good fighter. Shawn’s style is a nightmare for any boxer today. Might I also add his style would also create all kinds of problems with Bud as well and he’d too touch him up. Shawn gets to any fighter he wants too in a fight. Might I also add that Bud hasn’t fought anywhere near the caliber of an opponent in Porter, not by a long shot.

Crawford would toy with Porter...& TKO Mikey...Ugas beat Porter, Crawford would KO Ugas....Ugas would beat The Hype as well!

Never mind after reading this it’s evident you don’t analyze boxing but are a fan girl.

It's Okay you're into the hype...I was able to analyze good enough to win $$$$$ last night, bet NO KO that "The Hype" guaranteed...who's educating you??

I hate triangle theories. They mean nothing as styles make fights. Question though, why wasn't Bud able to toy with Benavidez, who is very limited due to the residual effects of his gun shot injury to his back leg.

I'm a fan of Bud too, but the reality is that Bud vs any of the top PBC welters is a good scrap where Bud has a good chance of losing.

Exactly! If anyone ever earned a rematch, it's Shawn Porter! Great fight!

I need for Jaron "Boots" Ennis to get that push! He might be able to beat Spence and Crawford! I just don't know who he can beat to get to the top level? Josesito Lopez?

... sure...
... I also like Bud and Spence... but I can't see them fight each other, tbh...

[TheWinners]

It's very evident after last night, Spence is nowhere near Crawford level!

Yawn, til this date Crawford's best wins are Postol and Gamboa. Yawn

Kid is talented. Is he clean promotionally where he can sign with PBC and get a push. His next fight is with Salita Promotions. A Lopez fight definitely puts him on the map though even if its risky because Lopez is a tough SOB. Molina before last night would have been perfect.

You are correct, triangle theories are for two dimensional thinkers who also have limited knowledge of boxing. There are literally hundreds of examples across boxing that shows triangle theory is flawed thinking.
