Was Errol Spence drained against Shawn Porter?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Yeah Good Luck trying to maintain your weight living in Texas

IMPOSSIBLE!

Spence
Jermell and Jermall Charlo
Vergil Ortiz
Omar and Brandon Figueroa
Mario Barrios
Mo Hooker

All Texas Boys and all are or was TOO BIG for their Weight Classes if you notice so yeah "Everything Is Bigger In Texas" Indeed...even their damn Fighters apparently and they're all likely Draining Down and their Training Camps are basically FAT CAMPS to make weight

So yeah I do think Spence Jr needs to either stay very active to avoid putting on all that weight or just MOVE UP!

The food in Texas is 👌🏻 tbf...

It sounds like you are wishing something to be true that might not be true at all. You seem to badly want Spence to be weight drained but there is no evidence of that at all. Spence has never said he was drained for any fight. He never said he was killing himself to make 147 and would soon go to 154. This is all you talking and not Spence. When Brook had trouble making 147 he told the world all about it but Spence has never said he was drained for any fight. He is 29 years old and that is years past the age when men stop growing. He threw 740 punches at Porter and finished the fight stronger than Porter and winning the last two rounds and throwing more punches than Porter in the last two rounds. He threw almost 1100 punches at Mikey. A weight drained boxer can't throw 1100 good punches in a fight.

he needs blue ray back and its nothing to do in dallas tx but eat, may need a change of scenery

Spence threw 88 punches in round 12 compared to 65 punches thrown by Porter who fought a strong fight. The 88 punches thrown by Spence in round 12 was more punches than he threw in any other round. Spence also threw 71 punches in round 11. Spence was not weight drained.

Errol was said to be the bigger/stronger man. He didnt look bigger/stronger than Porter in my opinion. Porter would maul him and bully Spence in to the ropes. Without that knockdown the fight could of gone either way. 116-111? I didnt see that in the fight imo.

No he wasn't drained but he hasn't been using his strength and conditioning coach in his last 3 fights.

1) Do you know why he made this change?

2) Do you know how his training now differs from his training when he was using this strength and conditioning coach?

I personally believe that the weight cut has been hard on him this time around. He kinda kills himself to make weight and the older he gets the harder it gets. I felt he was sluggish and slow for a big part of the fight, he was getting tired and wasn't throwing as many punches as I'm accustomed to seeing from him, yea he dropped Porter late, but it was a flash knockdown that even Adrien Broner managed to score against Porter.

I think he should watch his weight between fights and move up to 154 in 2020. That weight cutting wil catch up to him sooner or later if he doesn't stop it.

no... Porter just put on a hell of a performance

the dude is a dog

that, and styles... Porter got his game going, which forced Spence to adjust

I did not see the after-fight presser, but I saw a video on sechback last night

title: does Porter think he got robbed ?

I remember thinking... no matter what Porter says in that interview, I bet he comes off classy and respectful... like always

sure enough

regardless as to what you think of him as a fighter... Shawn Porter is a outstanding young man

so, I suspect that his father is as well

and the dude is a dog... he will seriously question your pedigree for 12 HARD rounds... but a pattern is starting to emerge... despite excelling, failing to get over the line in big fights... despite those fights being close run affairs

there is a very fine line in this game

Not a ****ing chance, it's just excuses. As others have said, he was active, and matched Porters energy and stamina. He also took some absolute bombs straight on the chin, and a couple I remember on the temple...a weight drained fighter would normally show the effects of a temple shot, they wobble much easier. Also to address one of your points, hes never been a fast fighter

At some point he'll get too tight at the weight but hes not there at the moment.
