There are plenty of reasons to watch Spence vs. Porter. Here are three of them.
Clearly, Spence is a special fighter, combining boxing skills with strong punching power. It seems like he’s a level above Porter. But Porter surprised by beating Danny Garcia last year, and in the amateurs, he triumphed over the likes of Daniel Jacobs, Demetrius Andrade, and Oleksandr Usyk .
The over-under on rounds fought for the 12-rounder is 11.5, meaning it’s expected to go the distance. The under on that wager is +160, and the over is -195.Though Spence is the clear A-side of this fight, he and Porter are making the exact same guaranteed payday. According to, both Spence and Porter are making a $2 million base for Saturday’s fight, plus a percentage of the PPV numbers.
In his last fight vs. Mikey Garcia, Spence made a $3 million guarantee but based on those PPV numbers, he reportedly could have earned as much as $8 million. In his last two fights vs. Danny Garcia and Yordenis Ugas, Porter made $1 million and $1.25 million, respectively.Spence vs. Porter records Spence has a perfect record of 25-0 with 21 knockouts. He’s also been on quite a knockout run lately, stopping 11 of his last 12 opponents. Porter, meanwhile, is 30-2-1 with 17 KOs. Since the beginning of 2015, though, Porter has only lost once—a close unanimous decision to Keith Thurman.Porter is going to make this fight tough for Spence, and he might make it the hardest challenge of Spence’s career. But in the end, Spence is going to out-box him and avoid too much trouble on the inside.
