My original message to another poster was about robbery’s not fights close on rounds.
Some clowns were saying the Spence vs Porter fight was a robbery and should be a rematch. However Fury vs Wallin should be considered a robbery before Errol vs Spence.
You initially got emotional and interjected making it about both Wallin winning less rounds than Porter.
However By your own estimate Porter only one 4 to 5 rounds? Your explanation ended up making my point, Errol wasn’t a Robbery because he clearly won more rounds and received a point for the knock down.
Then I justified Wallin was robbed because the Fury fight should have been stopped due to that nastiest of cuts. A cut caused by a Wallin punch. So if the fight was stopped Fury would lose as he could not safely finish the fight. Just to remind you the original context is below....
[ORIGINAL QUOTE=davidw9785;20094739]Does anyone seriously think Porter won? He put on a great performance and exceeded expectations, but that was a clean win for Spence. BoxingScene scored it 115-112... It was a clear Spence win to me. He was aggressive too and landed the harder cleaner punches... he was also never hurt or in any kind of trouble. I don't see how anyone could think Porter won. It was a competitive but dominant performance by Spence.[/QUOTE]
ME: I agree bro, Shawn was a killer that night. However Errol was rolling a lot of that frenetic offense. The response from Spence was usually landing clean. That was the difference.
It’s the classic illusion of Porter doing much better than these guys thought he would and then Spence struggling more than we have seen.
However there is a difference between the hard fought win that took place and the embellished loss some have claimed.
Anytime some one claims a “Robbery,” and the fight was close, the intent always shows up dubious to say the least. And if guys are saying Errol must rematch, I want too see similar requests for Fury vs Wallin.
Anything else bright guy?
