    Bullshit! Knockdown or no. I can see the fight being scored a Draw at best but there was no damn way Spence won that fight. He lost. Porter won.

    The punch stats numbers gave Erroll punches that he didn't even land. Half of the punches he landed were low blows.

    One of the only legitimate punches he landed was that flash knockdown. Other than that, I saw Porter constantly outworking and beating him to the punch.

      I don't think it was a robbery. It was a good close fight, but as many have said, the knock down made a big difference. Not just with the extra point, but I think it shifted the momentum of the championship rounds in Spence's favor too.

        No robbery. The judge that has Porter winning wide , Larry hazzard jr., was the same one that had charlo beating korobov 119-108.

        I think it’s safe to say he needs to work on being a judge.

          The margins were too thin for Porter to get knocked down late in a match against a glamour guy
          I scored it a draw 6 rounds Porter 5 rounds Spence (including 10-8) and the one quiet round in the fight I couldn't split them. I knew though with Spence getting that knockdown and also winning R12 that the result would definitely go his way at least by SD and it did. Great fight though.

            I had it 116-111 Spence but it was a fantastic fight.

            Porter should fight Ugas again. That was a close one too.

              Was a great fight. Porter at his best must be an absolute nightmare to face. Just non stop, in your face, throwing constantly and loads of heart and chin. Really good footwork as well.

                There was at least 5 rounds in the fight that could have went either way, so if you score them all narrowly for the same guy, it could have went either way. The last two rounds were obviously huge for Spence. Great fight.
