9/28 PBC on FOX PPV: Errol Spence vs Shawn Porter (WBC/IBF Welterweight Title unification)

[R=G]

after watching this fight again

while a clear fight of the year candidate and a great fight ...i still rate pac vs thurman above it for the welters..but PBC making top fighters in their divisions fight goes a long way to strengthening the brand..its not a new concept lol

adding to the argument of who beat porter the best (brook, thurman, spence) from some pages back..this fight makes kell brook beating porter look 100x times better....now the cats who have been here for awhile know my views on shawn porter and his fighting...kell brook was the only one i felt beat porter in a way where a clear level was shown and it was decisive..the only thing wrong was the idiot judge who scored that fight a draw while the 9-3,8-4 scores were more in line with how the fight played out..brook boxed porter's head off...thurman and spence went life and death with porter..hell chinny ass julio diaz who drew with porter didnt even do that .at least the official scores in the thurman-porter fight were on the mark so no complaints..but spence didnt win a 116-111 type fight..it was a lot closer than that

8-4..yeah, my nygga. It was definitely a 116 score for Spence...he got hit alot but Spence won most exchanges despite going back and forth on the inside. Never was that more evident by the 11th round. Nuff said.

We'll see what the narrative is if Crawford steps up and faces someone legit in the next 9 months instead of these soft touches.

I hope he will fight the winner of 140 WBSS or the winner of winner of140 WBSS vs Ramirez.
Those dudes are at 140 but it would be a better win than anybody he can get at 147 now. He was also a 140er not that long ago too so it wouldn't even be about big guy beating up smaller guy.

I hate it has to be this way..because Crawford is so damn fun to watch.but now after watching what happened Sat, he needs to fight someone real. Enough is enough.

that underdeveloped talent really exposed how much ghost has slid. i was actually becoming impressed by a guy who is going to go back to being a handyman on tuesday

they aired that horseshyt on fs1..i didnt even bother to go look for it..but it looks like he is being set up to be a gatekeeper/jobber to the stars on a televised main event card

you would think losing to cats like this below would be enough...also one of my biggest gambling regrets cuz i said he would beat ghost but the night of the fight i was going to mexico for about 4 days and my mind was in vacation mode..i forgot to drop down a bet...dude was like +3000

What I said would be legit imo won't happen now though as WBSS hasn't even ended yet and the winner will probably look to unify with Ramirez now.
I'd even say Bud should drop back to 140 which is better now than when he was there, so he can fight better opponents than now at 147 and stay there until PBC is done with their in house tournament but then that would be viewed as he fled 147.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gets the Pacquiao fight now .....spence is fighting danny which was weird. Something tells me spence already been promised the Pacquiao fight. So I gotta assume AL already has somebody planned for manny. Al prolly gonna have their next fights really close together and promote them as the unofficial preview for their fight.


Spence vs danny garcia in January

Pacquiao vs mikey garcia in February


If pac can knock mikey out it would really build the hype up for their fight. Could even see it breaking a mil.

Everyone said he fukked himself when he signed that contract extension. We all knew it but him. Crawford was more well known and kept up with when he was on HBO. Now he's a top P4P fighter that no one even talks about. Who is he fighting next, serious question? Personally I think Al is trying to freeze him and Arum out. Arum has talked so much shyt about Al, it's only right.

How a fan can say trying to not make the best fight in boxing over some personal shyt is only right?
Or did I misunderstand something?

No, I'm saying it's only right for Al to do that. I'm not supporting it, but if it was me I'd do the same thing.

he looked very good against an absolutely terrible boxer

I watched the fight a 2nd time last night. I thought Spence easily won the fight. Porter was missing most of his punches and Spence was blocking a good amount of them as well. Spence was also landing the cleaner more effective punches, he also did a much better job of going to the body

Porter did land some good punches and had short moments where he did well. It was difficult for him to land consistently. Spence used his height, reach and speed advantages. He fought a disciplined fight from start to finish

This should have been nowhere near a split decision

Granados gave porter much better work than Spence facts....
