9/28 PBC on FOX PPV: Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter (WBC/IBF Welterweight Title unification)
- Thread starter Apollo Creed
- Start date
Him and Thurman days numbered at welter... the first pbc welter that moves to 154 and wipe the floor with that overrated 154 bunch will revitalize their career, without playing a crash test dummy at welter
Good card. I was entertained. Should have been regular Fox tho. shyt would have gotten like 5 mil viewers with the promo it had.
I said way back early in this thread that Porter has better footwork than Spence and it give Errol problems, but nikkas had excuses
shyt played out like just like I said it would. Fight was super close and competitive. Had the fight 6 rds a piece, but Spence winning with the knockdown. He definitely got hit too much against a nikka as wild an as inaccurate as Porter. Especially when you consider the height and reach advantage Spence had. He constantly let Porter get off first and beat him to the turn when he would pivot. Spence was catching all types of hooks and overhand rights throughout the fight. Real talk his body punching kept him in the fight and the knockdown is what won it. Ring generalship wise Spence was lacking. He didn't assert himself like he should have.
Thurman had the footwork to maneuver Porter better even with Porter outhrowing him. nikka had him swinging for the rafter and leaping like a pitbull doing tricks On the other hand, Spence n Porter were damn near going punch for punch with only accuracy being the deciding factor, which Spence being the better puncher won. All that aggression from Porter close and mid range made the fight closer. shyt swayed one judge. Fight could have been a draw as well.
Spence definitely aint the invincible boogeyman that nikkas say he is. Very good fighter, tho. He looked too bothered by some of Porter's pressure and was moved backwards a lot. At times Porter would land jabs and Spence would just move straight back. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch fight was that good.
I think Swift/Spence is an even fight tho. If he land the type of hooks Porter was landing, shyt could get serious.

Let me say all of this:
Before the fight, crowd was largely pro-Spence. He got loud applause when he was introduced.
Porter seemed to win the crowd over, and a large Porter chant broke out late in the fight, I think somewhere around 9.
By the end of the fight, the crowd was happy with Spence winning. Loud boos broke out when the Porter card was announced.
Lol they arguing in the post conference
Spence look winded against Garcia to you?
Great bloodclot fight. Shout out to Porter and his father. You can see Porter respects his father.
Porter showed heart and determination. This is why it's very important for young boys to have strong fathers in their lives.

Spence sounded like a right a$$hole at the end of the conference. He sounds corny talking about PPV and money. I don't mind seeing a porter rematch.

Tired of saying this every fight about Swift. Never landed it on Peterson, Thurman, Porter, Guerrero. He just can’t get off against the elite 147 or even the good 147.
Classless and somewhat cognitively incorrect

That press conference didn’t go well
I guess that the Crawford shyt started it.
