its the same thing Mayweather suffered. If a fighter lands a good punch or two on Floyd then he automatically wins the round to a lot of casuals just because they’re doing better than expected. Even though Floyd outboxes them. I think the same applies to this fight, everyone underestimated Porter and gave him rounds just because he was performing a cut above than they assumedI feel like at most that’s what you can give Porter. 116-111 is probably my card & it feels more accurate.
I feel a lot of times people give credit to someone when they do better than expected. Porter surprised me with some things but his overall performance did not surprise me. I'm not shocked at all that he was able to make it a competitive fight but in terms of the decision and how you score rounds there's absolutely no controversy and there's absolutely no way that you can give 7 rounds to him. (Or however many points it woulda took for him to win) It's literally impossible unless you just only watched what he did Sat. or have some sort of bias.Comment

No it was not a robbery but a robbery was in the queue if needed. If instead of losing the last 2 rounds, Porter had won them, he still would not win the fight. To me that looks calculated.Comment

Had it 8-4 Spence. Porter getting 6 or 7 rounds comes from people giving him the early rounds where he didn't do much but because the rounds were close enough.
Having it 8-4 Porter like Hazzard did was borderline ASININE.Comment

Right. Larry Hazzard’s card is terrible, and the Spence haters unsurprisingly had no problem with it.Comment

I had it level after 10.
Two judges had it 6-4 to Spence which doesn’t seem corrupt or anything to me.
Tbh the judge who had it 8-2 to Porter after 10 is more suspect.
There were a lot of close rounds though...Comment
