    Once again, this is why you need to STOP with the 'eye test' BS. It doesn't mean anything.

    Shawn Porter always has been a solid opponent against everyone he faced except Granados.

    You all said he was unskilled, just a 'street fighter' . So what does that make Spence if he couldn't KO an unskilled brawler?

      Porter is who I thought he was. Ugas is a better boxer at range than Spence.

        I agree. I hate the "eye test." Results are all that matters. I thought Spence would KO Porter. Now before you crucify me let me explain. I thought Spence would KO Porter...in a competitive fight. Thinking win by knockout doesn't mean I think the fight wouldn't be competitive. A fight could be a blow with no KO (most Mayweather fights). A fight can be competitive and end in a KO (my prediction).

        I was obviously wrong about the KO, but the people who thought the fight was gonna be Knockout AND a walkthrough for Spence don't know boxing and are likely fanboys.
