Garcia vs Porter on Sept 8 for the vacant WBC welterweight belt

Everybody loves Broner.

Ugas finally opens up in the 8th, all over Barrionuevo midway through the round.

8-0 Ugas.

Ugas looking for body shot ko. As long as he's looking for it now ;D. 9-0 Ugas. Terry Crews and Porter working the pads there.

Much of the same in the 9th. Over-matched opponent.

9-0 Ugas.

Ugas reminds a bit of..... Terrence Crawford?

The way he shuffles into position, very little wasted motion, walking his victim down.... while the other guy is jumping up and down, wasting energy. He's always in perfect balance and ready to throw his shots.
He seems very cerebral in there.

10-zip as a fan like to see Ugas kick in the door on a lead. But I get it. Love the way PBC-Showtime manage to show entire top roster during a card.

11-0 Ugas, how is this guy in an eliminator?

Interesting one yeh. He's pretty calculated and similar slippery. No Crawford chip on the shoulder though. Buds a brutal finisher.

Yeah, Ugas seemed content with just cruising through this one. Maybe a little apprehension about Barrionuevo's vaunted power, but it didn't look like it.

Ugas hurt him with a right in the last round. Only 20 seconds left so it goes to the cards.

Won't take Einstein to get this one right.

About as clear a shut out that you can have. Blinding light between the gap in levels. 12-0 Ugas and off to bigger stiffer things I hope.

One judge gave one round to Barrionuevo. Be interesting to see what round the judge dropped his contact lens.

Call me nuts like to see him go with any of the top guys. Mandatory for Spence jr. Be careful what you wish for.

Apparently 12 percent of twitter 'judges' had him actually winning the fight ;D :drinker:

Crowd reactions to Thurman and Spence are interesting.

Danny looks ready to go. How he handles the bull rush will be big. He lets his hands go he should find Porter

Here we go. Round one ends with an exchange of big right hands.

Porter actually staying tall with a good bounce. Both exchange rights at the bell and Danny gets better of it. 1-0 Garcia

1-0 Garcia, big right landed by Garcia.

That 1st was pretty close tho.

Wrestling match slowly creeping in. Garcia needs to control the middle of the ring.

2-0 Garcia.

Nice timing by Garcia in 3rd. Porter should revert and stick with what got him here.

Porter stepping up the swarming. Geez I hate Porter fights.

Porter ain't out boxing Garcia at that distance. He's gotta rough him up if he wants to win this one.

3-0 Garcia, Porter's getting knocked out if he doesn't start getting out of the way of that right.

Gervonta Davis is channeling Nell Carter? 4th round heating up. Porter keeping his head. Nice 3 punch combo near end of round that caught Garcia flat footed.
3-1 Garcia

Porter's best round, may have hurt Garcia.

3-1 Garcia.

5th was close, gave it to Garcia.

4-1 Garcia.

Sharper work for Garcia round 5. Porter launching a right and left like he's trying to land a plane at night. 4-1 Garcia

Porter coming on, wins the 6th.

4-2 Garcia.

That was a close one, Porter 6th and opens up late. Garcia is feeling the physicality a bit. Porter going caveman to start 7th ;D.

Ohhh what the hell was that ;D. Porter literally walks into wide open right hand.

Here's the pressure from Porter I was expecting.

4-3 Garcia.

Close rounds here also.

5-2 Garcia

I've been favouring Porter

Porter trades lefts and rocks Garcia! Hard round here. 5-3 Garcia Porter building some steam. He has to get on him man

Porter getting work done in the 8th.

4-4.

See-saw action. I think Garcia took this last round.

Porter's got to keep that right at up.

Danny cut?

Loving Porter's body work.

Close round, gave it to Porter.

5-4 Porter.
