Was Errol Spence drained against Shawn Porter?

[Rusty Tromboni]

Yes.

But like Tito, you gotta ask, "what's he hiding?"


Tito had poor form. It looked like he had a limp.

Spence might just not have the wheels and the pop needed to handle other guys at 154.

Look at Kid Gavilan's legendary Middleweight career... oh wait.

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!

That looks ****ing great

[HandsofIron]

No, Spence was in tip top shape, it was Porter who looked tired and fatigued near the end of the fight.

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.

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.

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 understand that Errol didn't show severe signs of being drained, he threw punches and probably slightly more than the average of that weight class, I just felt that the intensity and the power weren't really there like they normally are. Not trying to discredit Porter or speculate how the fight would've played out if Spence was in better shape because Porter could've stepped up his game too based on his competition. I'm just stating what I felt and wanted to know if others felt he same way watching the fight.

Errol also kind of hinted at his weight and strength and conditioning after the fight:

Got to keep my weight in control for now on ain’t nothing cool about blowing up 25+ pounds an having to spend camp losing that **** ⚠️

No nutritionist or strength & conditioning trainer 🤨

Nope if he was drained he wouldn't have been able to maintain that pace throughout the fight.

[SplitSecond]

So many fanboys were sucking him off that sure, I can see him being drained.
