Not good enough to win against elite names apparently. Frantic style isnt enough to close shows. Accurate power punches are though.
Stillnikkas act like he beat Swift, and dominated Swift, when Swift landed 3 fights worth of clean shots and counters......
Garcia beats Porter 9/10 times.....
Porter beats spence 7/10 times IMO
He ripping to the body like I do on the heavy bag...D Class puncher.......
Spence cant throw a power shot hes not sitting down completely on, otl............Luckily his car crash is a eternal excuse for 3 ls waiting for him at welter.....He cant beat Swift, Manny, Thurman that way (Roy Jones voice
)

Spence definitely didn't look as good as people expected before the fight.
Porter fought a very good fight but still, going into the fight the general opinion was that Spence is clearly a league of his own compared to the other PBC 147ers like Porter, Swift, Thurman or Pac. That was refuted. Turns out the difference is negligible or non-existent. Which doesn't mean Spence would be a bad fighter at all... just that it seems he's not on a clearly higher level than the likes of Porter.
I've told yall after the fight I wouldn't be surprised if Pac and his team would change their opinion on the Spence fight and would want smoke now. Seems like that's really happening if we can believe in Roach (?).

Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Matt Korobov Finalized For Charlo-Hogan
By Random Hits

Middleweight star Chris Eubank Jr. and top contender Matt Korobov will square off in the co-main event on Saturday, December 7 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING™, in a Premier Boxing Champions event. Eubank and Korobov will meet for the Interim WBA Middleweight Title.
The middleweight division will take center stage on the SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast (9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT) that is headlined by undefeated WBC Middleweight World Champion Jermall Charlo defending his title against highly-ranked contender Dennis Hogan.
Eubank is coming off a career-best win over British super middleweight rival James DeGale in February on SHOWTIME and will go down to the 160-pound class to take on Korobov, a southpaw who gave Charlo a tougher than expected test as a late replacement last December at Barclays Center.

Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Lions Only Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on-sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com and barclayscenter.com. Tickets also can be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group discounts are available by calling 844-BKLYN-GP.
“Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Matt Korobov is a high stakes showdown that makes Saturday, December 7 a tremendous night of championship middleweight action live on SHOWTIME at Barclays Center in Brooklyn,” said Tom Brown, President of TGB Promotions. “Chris Eubank Jr. is already a star in the U.K. and is poised to make a big splash in his U.S. debut, while Matt Korobov is eager to build on his impressive performance in a loss to Jermall Charlo last year. Expect fireworks as Eubank and Korobov look to steal the show and walk away the title on December 7.”
This will be the first time that Eubank (28-2, 21 KOs) has fought in the U.S. as a professional. Although he has competed at super middleweight, the 29-year-old from Brighton, Sussex in the United Kingdom will meet Korobov at his more natural weight of 160 pounds for the interim title. Since losing to George Groves in 2018, the son of British legend Chris Eubank Sr. has put together two victories, including the decisive unanimous decision over former super middleweight champion DeGale in his last fight in London.
“I’m ready to take the United States and the middleweight division by storm,” said Eubank. “I’m excited to come down to 160 pounds where I naturally belong, and I don’t see anybody being able to touch me at this weight class. America is where I learned how to fight as an amateur in Las Vegas and 13 years later I’m finally going to make my U.S. professional debut. I can’t wait to show the fans in the U.S. that I’m the best middleweight in the world.”
The 36-year-old Korobov (28-2-1, 14 KOs) is coming off a majority draw against Immanuwel Aleem in his last fight in May, after serving notice to the middleweight division that he would be a threat when he lost a hard-fought decision to Jermall Charlo in December. Born in Orotukan, Russia and now living in St. Petersburg, Florida, Korobov was a late replacement and gave Charlo a tougher fight than many experts expected. Korobov had been riding a four-fight win streak before the Charlo fight, having previously lost a middleweight title fight to Andy Lee in 2014.
“I am more motivated for this fight than any other so far in my career,” said Korobov. “Against Jermall Charlo, I didn’t get the decision. In my mind, I won that fight at Barclays Center. This time around, I will leave no doubt against Eubank. This opportunity gives me a chance to right a wrong. Fans will see the best Matt Korobov on December 7.”

He didn’t throw enough and I picked and bet on swift that was on him.
Spence was supposed to murder Porter and wear his skin around the ring. Instead it was a classic fight.
Hard to fukking throw when a guy is mixing selective holds, and headbutts into combos......One minute he holding n hitting, Swift blocks rabbit shots, that fakkit shawn dips up down throws bullshyt body shot Swift drops his guard, Porter dips up for a quick subtle uncontested headbutt.......Worse fight reffed since Mayweather Madiana 1
I see through Shawns bullshyt though........Shawn didnt even do the dirty shyt vs Spene yet he was still winning easily
Fight wasn't even a classic........Throw away the 1st 3 toss up rounds.........
I Had Porter dominating from rounds 4-10, easy.......
Whoever say Spence clearly won and Danny clearly lost could suck my dikk.......Spence landed one clean punch thats it, and that resulted in a by mistake knockdown of Porter when he wasnt hurt hurt
I saw Porter get worn down n broke down by Granodos...Yet Im supposed to pretend that Spence bested anyone vs Porter
If Spence was smart he'll rematch Porter instantly, since nikkas crash they cars to avoid a Swift fight........He was supposed to not only beat Porter but stop him, neither of those things happened.......In fight 2 Porter fights even stronger knowing he could take Spence shots; also knowing his herky jerky boxing movements is too much for the slow flat footed Spence
