Shawn Porter vs. Yordenis Ugas

[Freedom]

I haven't seen this fight, since I paid for DAZN I watched that full fight card and didn't stream this one, and I can't find a video of the fight yet.

But those scorecards look kind of crazy. Some are saying it was a robbery, others are saying it was a fair decision.

Scores 116-112 Porter...117-111 Ugas...115-113 Porter wins S. Talk about split opinion

That is a crazy wide score. What was going on?

Porter boxed a little more than usual. He didn’t just bull rush his way in, but he was the aggressor. Ugas boxed more and generally had the more precise punches. It was one of those fights where a lot of rounds were close and the scoring mostly depended on which style you liked better. This was one of the few fights IMO that I don’t think either wide score was bad.

I didn’t see Porter as the aggressor at all. I thought Ugas wanted the fire fight and Porter moved away. Porter did throw more punches but not all punches are aggressive. I’m not upset about the score. If anything I would be bothered that I somehow convinced myself that a Porter fight would be watchable because 1 was. Shame on me.

Porter wasn’t near as aggressive as normal, but I would definitely say that he was more the aggressor. Ugas went forward a little bit but overall he stayed back. But I agree, Porter isn’t that enjoyable to watch. For being a strong fighter, he isn’t that hard of hitter. He never stops anybody.

Minor robbery, more on the line of petty theft!

Weird. You could literally score damn near every round for either guy. I had Ugas winning comfortably.

The few articles I've read stated Porter wanted to box. Seams most labeled it a pose-down.
