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.

I felt he deserved the W based on the fact he landed the better punches in the majority of the rounds pushed the pace and made adjustments. Spence never really made adjustments his main plan was just keep coming forward and throwing to the gut which strayed below the belt quite often. But either way both guys fought a great fight that was very entertaining which you don’t always get.Originally posted by Squ□redCircle34 View PostPorter finally getting the respect he deserves!
People including me thought he was gonna get stopped but he shut up a lot of people!
I thought he pulled it off even with the knockdown due to him pushing the pace, landing more punches(punch stats was bull cuz Porter landed 3 straight right hands an the landed stats number didn’t even budge), better ring generalship and better defense!
Spence also didn’t get warned like he should’ve for the obvious low blows but it was a smart tactic to use against a relentless guy pushing you around!
Porter deserves an immediate rematch but the A side star survived a close fight so it won’t happen!
Hopefully with Kenny Porter saying they’d take the Crawford fight means we may get to see Bud vs Shawn next year at some point!
Instant classic and respect to Spence for that clutch left hook as well as respect to Porter for coming back in that same round!
I don’t care if they do it at 154, this fight deserves a sequel!

Originally posted by Curtis2 View PostCorrupt PBC pre-determined Ugas vs Porter also.

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

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 think

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.
