    I think some people were a little bit disrespectful of Porter going into this fight. RJJ said this fight would make him believe that Spence is the truth because Porter would test him, even Spence got a bit bigheaded (Which am surprised about) in regards to RJJ’s comments.

    But he found out that Porter isn’t an easy fight for anyone, when he said he would stop Porter at the face to face thing, and I looked at Porter’s reaction, I just knew he would go all Porter on Spence come fight night.

    I knew we wouldn’t see the Ugas Porter who would try to box, it was still a good victory for Spence, but this fight (Fight of the year as of now) makes me even appreciate Mayweather even more, there is a point where Mayweather would have made that necessary adjustments, and you would just knew (Yep) that this fight is over.

    But Spence didn’t really make that adjustment IMHO, he did well and won it by two points on my card, but he really needs to live the life if he wants to be regarded as the best of his generation.

      Now all of a sudden Porter is suddenly great and the Thurman fight that is considered a clear close win for Thurman suddenly becomes a razor close fight that could have gone either way.
      Ok, so now he is a tougher than expected brawler

        It you don't come 100% to fight Porter you loose. He is hard to good against and his style is sometimes ugly.

        Over the years he has added skills to his attack and can now box in the outside using speed.

        The only boxer willing to take on anybody.

          Shawn Porter changed the narrative with his performance. That's why we watch this sport. It isn't a simulation. Men are fighting for glory.

              Spence didn’t land the shot I expected him to land early till the 11th. Maybe Porter’s energy was more than Spence could adjust to or maybe Spence isn’t all that. Porter appeared to be the same old Porter.
              I thought Porter could have got the decision but the end result was not unfair.

                Spence di.ckriders have to flip the narrative to fit their agenda. So from this point on Porter is now considered an elite fighter. LOL

                  i dont know if Pac will **** him up, but man Pac is way quicker and hits harder with one punch than Porter . Porter was throwing alot of arm punches becuase he leans way over and it takes alot of power off his shots. If i am Pac i say sign me up for Spence now! Spences face was kind of swollen up good from that fight. How many times have we seen him face good big boxers and have them go into a shell after getting hit with alot of those quck shots and hooks from angles. Plus PAC has been hurtong alot of bigger guys to the body. Margarito, Clottey, Thurmon etc. Its a much better fight than all these boogey man fans think.

                    Also, what I found on Spence's flaws was his inability to shoot a proper right hook over the top of Shawn Porter to catch him coming on the way in.

                    Old man Pacquiao was shooting the right hook whenever Thurman shoots his jab to go on the inside and catch Thurman coming on the way in. Spence never did that even ONCE.
