Comments Thread For: Errol Spence vs. Shawn Porter - CompuBox Punch Stats

[The tucker]

If you were watching a crappy stream then that makes sense. Because Spence was using James Toney counter punches in between defensive motion. Porter landed maybe half of what he tried to land; the rest either winged or hit arms and shoulders. Spence was troubled in the trench but fought out like a warrior every time.

The reason it seems to you guys that Porter was more effective is that Spence was throwing for accuracy. When he did throw, he landed more often than he didn't with the exception of 3 clear Porter rounds. I had four swing rounds, two of which I gave to Porter because Spence seemed to lose focus at points. At least three rounds were very, VERY hard to score because both guys had success.

The 115-112 is the best possible scorecard. I could give more rounds to Spence if all I cared about was accuracy. In no universe can I see a Porter win. Even if he hadn't gotten dropped a draw is the best I could see.

I saw it at the movies crystal clear you sound like you saw it on a stream that kept buffering. Spence was landing combinations to porters nuts. Spence was doing some good work to the body later on but Sean was moving his head real good especially in the early rounds.

Spence almost fell over from falling because he missed so hard.

Now this doesn’t count or matter but I’m going to say it anyway the theater I watched it at was a very pro Spence crowd as was I before the fight started. When ever Spence did anything they would shout and say he about to end Shawn but if Shawn did something they would say ouuuu or be silent.
At some point there was a LOOOONG moment of silence and people started saying come on Spence what are you doing. When Spence dropped porter the whole place erupted hoping he would knock him out.

But even when the score cards was read a lot of those same people thought it should have went to Shawn.

Movie theaters are notoriously blurry with fast motion. I'm on a 4k OLED with zero blur. I'm telling you straight up, Porter would throw 5-6 punches, land 2 of them, in between which Errol would tag Porter to the body or upstairs (more to the body).

Why do you think Errol's stats are so high? He was working the body like Bodysnatcher McCallum. IF all you looked for was Porter's head snapping back then you missed arguably 70% of the best punches landed.
