mikey never fought at welterweight before and was more of a natural lightweight. spence supposed to be the biggest most feared puncher at welterweight yet couldn't drop or even stop a natural lightweight. same mikey who was dropped by a jab at 130.
porter looked bad in his last fight and was hurt and dropped (but for some reason called a slip) by ugas. he was also dropped by frickin broner and had his knees buckled few times against thurman. people say spence is the most feared yet couldn't put porter on his butt. the knockdown was just porter's glove touching canvas for a split second.
face it. spence is an overrated weight bully. without the height and weight advantage he'd be mediocre.
You had me until the knockdown. That knockdown was brutal, I don’t see how Porter survived it. It was like his soul left his body, saw the light and came back to his body before he could face plant.
we thought golovkin was going to be a force too...we thought he was gonna slaughter canelo and end his career....well we thought that because his fans told us thats what was going to happen...we saw he wasnt such a killer when he stepped up too....so whatever....its not that easy right?
To be fair, Canelo is a HoF’er and one of a handful of active elite level fighters. Porter is neither a HoF’er nor elite. Spence is not who we thought he was and who he presented himself as. His peers are Porter/Thurman/Garcia, all good fighters but not elite.
I believed that Spence was going to be a dominating force at welterweight seeing him destroy the lower tier fighters but now that he’s facing good competition, it’s like his power disappeared. Has he gotten off the juice now that he’s PPV? Did he ever have dynamite in his fists? Was he just fighting cabbies and retirees? He’s no longer the action star I thought he’d be. I can understand why he’s avoiding Crawford so much now.
He’s not the Truth. He’s The Decision. Errol “The Decision” Spence.
I don’t wanna see him fight Pacquiao—that’s two decision makers right there. Fight J Rock? He’s definitely not carrying any significant power to 54. If he wins it’s another decision. He needs to be the bad guy to get people to watch him. He’s not fooling me anymore with his hype train.
