Ofcourse. Saying he was robbed means accusing his promoter as mastermind...

To be honest, it seemed like Spence was triggered big time by Porter in the post fight press conference because he knew Porter was way better than he expected and he took a lot more punches that he thought he would. He had never faced that kind of consistent pressure, nor was his face in worse shape after a fight before. Spence lost his cool and started acting a bit Mayweatherish, being immature and disrespectful in his response to Porter. It was a close fight, no one was robbed but the two Spence score cards were too wide. This isn't the first bad scorecard Weisfeld has submitted. Showtime boxing seems like it's on the way out and he's doing more judging than commentating which isn't reflecting well on him. They should get rid of him, I don't care how long he's been in the business, the guy is either bias or incompetent in his judging of a fight.Comment

I didn't see Porter landing the better punches throughout the fight. In two rounds, he landed some great shots that were very visible (the fourth comes to mind), but overall, Spence landed the clean punches more frequently. Aside from the early body punches that landed low, his body work was beautiful. He also answered all of Porter's inside flurries with power shots that landed flush. He also swept the championship rounds, with a knockdown in the 10th. 7-5 Spence.Comment

Corrupt PBC pre-determined Ugas vs Porter also. They determined to match Porter, the less rangier boxer vs "The Hype" than facing a more dangerous, rangier puncher style in Ugas. (Ugas beat Porter) As soon as "the Hype" faces an equally sized, rangy opponent, he'll be TKO'd...Comment

Ugas is good, very much improved over the last two years, but please don't describe him as a "puncher". Further, you mentioned range [rangy]. What you saw was Porter not fighting at range, but getting into Spence's chest. We saw Ugas not be able to successfully cut off the ring on Porter in the second half of the fight when he decided to box the "rangy" Ugas. I'm not curious as to how he is going to reinvent himself to fight similarly to Porter.Comment

Porter lost on cards, but Spence didn`t take anything away from him ( except the belt). Still clearly top 5 in division.Comment

When I was watching the fight, and about halfway through it or so I was wondering if Porter benefited from not "being" Porter in the Garcia fight, and then even more so against Ugas? Meaning it was 2 fights in a row where he didn't put himself in a position to take as much punishment so he could come in and give his own as we were use to seeing with him, basically, he didn't put his body through the hell of a normal Shawn Porter fight, and had he done so, maybe he'd have left pieces of himself behind in those fight that, if he'd not had them Sat night he possibly wouldn't be capable of giving the amazing performance he did? Commentators and people involved say that sorta thing happens, or at least they believe it does, but what do others here thinkComment

Porter was not robbed. The 11th and 12th rounds made the difference in the fight. I had him 6-4 in rounds after 10. Those two rounds cost him the fight in my eyes, although all 3 judges obviously saw the first 10 rounds differently than I did.
Porter knew he had a massive uphill battle though as judges just love to give the benefit of the doubt to the more popular fighter.Comment
