Crawford dont want the Spence problem. He eats traditional type fighters alive. Porter was just awkward and strong as fukk

Plus we dont still dont know anything about Crawfords chin or durability from body attack. Benavidez was giving dude problems with his reach as limited as he was. Crawford is nice skill wise though/ one of my favs to watch

Porter landed far far more clean shots than Spence, his head was snapping he was knocked off balance a few times, spence cowered n closed his eyes numerous times when socked in the mouth....:stopitslime:
No. He didnt. Spence definitely landed crisper, harder, cleaner, crowd pleasing shots..better body shots..better counter power punches. Porter was good at swarming...like Jirov was against Toney but the cream rose to the top yet again, like in that fight.

Hard to tell after this, Pac could tag him and make it tough for him too with his zigzag movement but I still have Spence there, if he can get inside, Pac doesn't have the physical power of Porter. I'm definitely less sure about it than before this fight though. Always said if Pac gonna hang around and has a belt he should fight the best guys available, no need to keep him away because of his age. The fight today showed it too imo. Spence is very good but he's not just gonna automatically tear Pac apart, Pac has a chance of winning too.
thats fair.

Porter isn't even a power puncher and he had Spence on wobbly legs numerous times in this fight. Spence just gets too reckless and leaves his chin WIDE open during exchanges. Crawford will start timing him and land something nasty eventually.

Don't get it twisted though. Errol proved that he's a warrior tonight. He got a great heart. But as far as boxing ability, he's not on buds level. Bud got him in defense, speed, footwork, and counterpunching. Crawford will have him lunging all over the place. Derrick james has to do something about spences habit to come in headfirst throwing recklessly. He's gonna get hit with a nasty uppercut one day.
Wobbly legs? Lol. He ate them and kept coming. It was Shawn wincing and backing up. Why do these nyggas lie on here like this? Lol.

Did we not just watch Shawn Porter’s fight though

. . if we’re going to talk about who controlled the fight


Whose style was fought?


The answer is Porter’s. This was Shawn Porter’s fight and Errol Spence Jr. just happened to win by a small margin, in the championship rounds.

If Spence isn’t fighting someone he’s dominating it doesn’t seem like he has the ability or generalship to assert his style and maintain control of the fight. Also when Spence is gassed he doesn’t have the power to change the fight or put his opponent down

Errol is nice. I am a fan. He has got some SERIOUS defensive flaws.

Bud can expose them.

Porter wasn't landing like you thought he was, Spence rolled or blocked a lot of that shyt, either that or Porter just plain missed. The occasional ones he tagged Spence with did not stop him from coming forward to look for his shot.

Nah..Manny cant fight that great on the inside...styles make fights.
Can't do that but he can fight better on the outside than Porter and he's also unorthodox but on a more controlled, skilled way than Porter. Porter was giving a hard time to Spence when he boxed on the outside too, he often backed Spence up to the ropes with a series of flickering jabs, especially in the first half of the fight. Spence likes to use his jab a lot, that was largely absent by him today compared to his usual self. Porter was a less stationary target than Mikey or even a Brook.
Not saying that Pac wins it, I still think Spence somehow forces his will on him, making it his kind of fight but I can see Pac giving him a lot of problems and he even has a realistic chance to win it.
