I decided to buy this. Has anyone else?
Haven't bought it but will be watching at my local.

Great fight, certainly worth the $34.95! Porter really took the fight to Spence who really had to dig deep to get the decision. Benavidez-Dirrell was a good watch too.

Interested to hear people's thoughts on a potential Spence-Crawford match up? Probably one of the best fights in boxing that could be made right now.

A great fight that we may never get to see unfortunately.

Spence edges Porter to unify WBC/IBF welter titles
By Rocky Morales at ringside
IBF welterweight champion Errol “The Truth” Spence Jr. (26-0, 21 KOs) defeated WBC titlist “Showtime” Shawn Porter (30-3-1, 17 KOs) by twelve round split decision firefight in a unification clash on Saturday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
It was a back and forth battle through the first ten rounds with both landing punishing shots and as often to the body as to the head. Many rounds were so close they were difficult to score with Porter pressing the action and Spence seeming to throw more precise punches. A few of Spence’s punched strayed low and he was warned but not penalized.
Finally, in round eleven, the difference-maker was a counter left cross Spence perfectly landed that floored Porter. Porter was visibly shaken but got up and was not in danger of being stopped. It did seem to take all the wind out of Porter’s sails, however, and he didn’t show the same gusto following the knockdown.
Spence seemed to win Round 12 to seal the deal in a close fight. Surprisingly, when the decision was announced, it was a split decision with scores all over the place. Judges scored it 116-111 Spence, 115-112 Porter and 116-111 Spence to make Spence the split decision winner.
Following the fight, former WBC welterweight champ, Danny Garcia, was brought into the ring, faced off with Spence and announced as Spence’s next opponent.

Live for free this Sunday from 2PM on Sky Sports News channel (channel 50): Gennady "GGG" Golovkin v Sergiy "The Technician" Derevyanchenko, for the vacant IBF middleweight title. Should be a good one!
