Comments Thread For: Spence: I Didn't Get Off What I Wanted, Porter Made it Tough

[Fire4231]

Congratulations to Spence on his victory. It was a good fight.

Porter is a tough out for anyone and deserves a rematch. Errol is smart to call out Danny Garcia who is a good fighter but will present fewer problems than Sean. He is also smart to continue to avoid Bud Crawford. Crawford is a level or two above Spence. People calling for Spence to take on Canelo need to consider the Porter fight a reality check. Errol is not ready for Canelo.

Did we watch the same fight. Danny climbed in the ring and called Spence out? Spence did not call out Danny. Spence just fought Sean Porter who could be the toughest out in the division.

And although Crawford is that dude he is not being avoided he is just not being promoted or match made. He is simply with the wrong promoter and no one is going to be guilted into accepting mis matches for Terrence.

Why isn’t Crawford fighting someone proven. Who is this unknown Lithuanian? When is Crawford going to fight a top Welterweight?

Your bias for Top Rank has you over looking what is glaringly obvious. You will not impose your false reality on us. Best you can do is just embrace your own insanity. Great win for Spence. If Shawn is that easy let’s see Porter vs Crawford.

Spence struggled because he isn't good at counterpunching and timing Porter's charges. His answer for Porter charging was backing up in a straight line with his head stationary.




Take Ugas for example. He stood his ground and hurt Porter much more to the body than Spence because Porter didn't see the body shots coming when he charged in behind his jab. They were sneaky bodyshots. Bothered Porter so much he gave up on fighting in the inside.

Didn't Porter beat Ugas? I think your brain works backwards

No he didn't. I decide who I believe won a fight no one else.

Shawn Porter fought like Mike Tyson with no KO Power vs
Errol "The Low Blow" Spence Jr.

I stand corrected. I meant to say Spence is going to fight Danny Garcia next rather than that Errol called out Danny. As for my biases, Top Rank is nowhere on the list. I wouldn't give two figs for Top Rank or any other promoter for that matter. They contribute zero $$ to my bottom line. I have been following boxing for a very long time and have seen some good fighters over the years and some very great fighters as well. The current group of welterweights is good. The top ones are athletic and can box but only one, Bud Crawford, has skills that compare with the best that I have seen. He has rare skills that future fans will appreciate. If any of the current group is going to be remembered in 25 years it is Bud -- if he gets to fight the best of his generation.

Now about my "false" reality, I am not sure what you mean by that. The best we can say is that reality simply is. It is neither true nor false, it just is. If you are saying that I am wrong, well that is a different matter. I have been wrong many times before, this might be of them. I have said things that turned out to be wrong and things that have turned out to be right, as well as things that have been nonsense on the face of it. We shall see where my assessment of Crawford falls in those categories.

Porter won that fight

Agreed 100%
PBC is building “The Gift” as their main cash-cow, so they will not give Porter a win... Everyone got paid especially the judges

[IceTrayDaGang]

that's what happens when you steps up in comp!!! same goes for crawford.

[Code Red]

No he didn't. I decide who I believe won a fight no one else.

Basically, because it appears your only purpose in this forum is to argue decisions, especially if it goes for who you hate vs who you like

So far Garcia, Porter, Turman, Pac, and Spence have fought in some combination, so Crawford really needs to fight one of these guys or he will be the odd man out for some time. And he has serious elite skills to compete with and potentially beat some of these guys. He needs to join the party.

I don't see Crawford getting any of that work anytime soon tbh.
I agree with a previous poster who made a comment about the PBC guys not getting shamed into taking a fight with him; and I don't see Haymon letting that happen anyway.
I think Spence-Swift Garcia is an excellent next fight for both guys. If that gets made then Manny probably goes against Mikey Garcia. Thurman and Porter are in more difficult situations. Porter probably deserves a slightly easier fight before stepping up again, or possibly someone like Josesito Lopez. However Thurman needs to step up and not look for a gimme fight imo! I'd like to see Thurman - Urgas.
At least 2021 before Haymon entertains any serious discussion with Crawford's side . . . .
