Do you view Spence better, the same or worse after last night’s fight?

      The same.. I always said that he's not really that good and an old, past prime and part time boxer pac will beat him.

        Spence is no hype job he just fought a fighter who really did well in staying in his kitchen all night. Spence needs space to land his bombs and we saw what he did when he found the space late in the fight. Folks keep acting like porter is not a great fighter because he’s head first and what not. You aren’t supposed to look great against better competition, everyone can’t be Floyd.

          About the same, but in the sense that I already was pretty well convinced Spence isn't all he's cracked up to be and doesn't tower over his top welter peers in the way some suggest, and this outing just further cemented that outlook.

            Slightly worse but still damn good. I expected him to KO Porter. I thought he won easily but Porter put up a decent fight.

              The same. I don't know people thought ANYBODY would just run over Porter, who has never been run over and been an elite amateur and pro throughout his career.

              The fight went how I expected it, give or take

                About the same, maybe slightly less. His defense is mediocre and he's there to be hit; Porter demonstrated that.

                I had thought Spence/Crawford was 50/50 but now I'm thinking 40/60.

                  I think people are underrating Porter and thats why people are leaning towards Spence being overrated.

                  I would like to add while this generation seems like alot of the fighters are close to the same level whether its Thurman,Garcia,Porter or Spence the previous generations stars in Pac and Mayweather are clearly levels above this current crop of boxers.

                    Pretty much how I feel...I originally favored Spence 60/40...for a while now I've had it 50/50...now I shade it 60/40 to TC.

                    Spence passed my test in some ways, and in other ways he was a little disappointing.

                    Spence's inside game, body work, stamina, toughness and chin all passed the test for me last night.

                    His jab, 'IQ' (allowing Shawn to fight his fight etc), and power all were a bit lackluster imo...and those are 3 pretty big things for a boxer.
