The narrative suddenly changes on Shawn Porter...

[SplitSecond]

... OK... but Thurman fought according his own style, while Spence said he wanted to beat Porter with Porter's own style...

What’s the other Spence style? Was he going to move around the ring like Thurman and show us his boxing style? When he has spent his entire career, amateur and pro refining a pressure style?

Has anyone seen this style he keeps holding back? Was it the Garcia fight style? Lol.

[The tucker]

What I find astonishing is how people are saying he won the fight just because he had the best night of his professional career. The Spence hate train is real.

He still came up short, but that's only a testament to how good Spence is. Shawn showed even more heart, grit, toughness, and skill then we thought he had. His eyes rolled to the back of his head in round 11 yet he only his glove touched the canvas. Unreal.

It’s not Spence hate a lot of people legit think that he won including my self but I’m not those crazy people who try to claim he got robbed by Spence it was just a close fight.

Spence was forced to fight porters fight the majority of the fight. Porter rocked Spence several times.

If i had half the Balls that Porter I would be happy respect to him, his style makes not get hit with a straight right when coming in excellent skills all shorter fighters need to watch him

I guess that Spence is somehow "chameleonic"...

[pasawayako]

Because they want to elevate Spence but I've been saying this for a very long time that Spence isn't special and pac will **** him up worse than margarito..

[DuckAdonis]

Spence didn't seperate himself from Porter, Danny, Thurman and even Ugas. They are all roughly on the same level

[Thraxox]

... back in 2015, Porter had to boil down at 144 in order to fight "big star" Broner... Porter used a stiff jab to get inside and he outworked Broner for most of the fight...

... now: "unskilled brawlers" aren't able to do such a job, actually...

LOL. Before the fight basically everyone called Shawn Porter a dirty un skilled fighter that uses his own athleticism to bull rush his way, smothering his own work while leaving his chin up in the air.

Don't change the narrative now to fit your own agenda.

What own style? It was Porter who made the fight his fight. Spence didn't "want to fight Porter's fight" Porter made the fight in his own terms, he dictated the pace of the fight and drowned Spence. Spence was uncomfortable fighting Shawn, Spence was having difficulty fighting Shawn on the inside, Spence wanted Space, and Shawn didn't give him that, but now you're saying is that Spence made the choice to actually just fight Shawn's fight

The mental gymnastics that you go through just to justify Spence's horrible performance is laughable.

[GhostofDempsey]

Porter was able to force Spence to fight his fight. That is also how he beat Danny, by forcing him out of his comfort zone and making him fight. Thurman was able to control the distance with superior footwork and countering from the outside, he didn't fight Porter's fight. Broner to a lesser extent was able to catch Porter a few times and even knock him down by using speed and countering.

Beating brawlers like Porter requires a certain degree if finesse. Footwork, angles, and circling around him so he can't charge straight at you. Like a matador and a bull.

[Boris Johnson!]

spence was 'man down' because he was gonna ko everyone
then couldn't ko garcia so narrative had to change that he was showing how great his skills are, not looking for ko
now can't ko porter almost loses so narrative has to change again to porter being a better fighter now than in his 20s
once danny garcia takes spence distance, it will be something else, but can never be that spence isnt as good as people thought
