Ugas should've been credited with a knockdown I thought, but he won the round anyway, and I think he edged it in a very close fight.

115-113 Ugas is my final score

114-114, or 115-113 Porter is understandable as well I'd say.

116-112 either way is a stretch, but maybe you could make a case. 117-111 either way is ludicrous because this was razor thin no matter who you think won it.

Let's see.

I have it 115-113 Porter. Close fight, but Porter edges it. At worst a draw for him, IMO

114-114. A draw.

Porter did little in the 12th. Showed no urgency. It might cost him his title.

One judge will somehow have it lopsided for one guy or the other.

Grudgingly yes, a draw would be OK.
I had Ugas by 2. Tough to call.

There were lots of close rounds so this is actually a fight where several scores could be reasonable to me. I'm anxious to hear the decision.

Yea very very difficult to score. Interesting at times but also frustrating to watch.

117-111 Ugas

Porter via Split Decision

Though I didn't get the points in the PTBF I still feel vindicated in picking Ugas to win this fight. I said all along he'd give Porter hell, and I don't think anybody who watched this fight would argue that he didn't. I have no problem with the verdict. Very close fight, could've went either way. It went Porter's way.

Way she goes.

The champ and most popular fighter gets the benefit.

You were right. He gave Porter hell.

117-111 Ugas seemed way too wide.

Tx a lot Senor!

A couple ridiculous lopsided scores.

But I have no problem with it being decided by a 2 point scorecard.

Yes. I said earlier that there needed to be something definitive, and there just wasn't.
A rematch would probably play out the same

Yea no one wants to see that haha.

Id love to see how judges scored last 3 rounds individually.

Post-fight show on now on FS1. Mancini and Thurman arguing.

Close fight. I would’ve liked to of seen a Draw but I’m happy with the SD for Porter

Well,
All in all, that was a much better watch than I thought it would be.
Ugas brought it, I haven't seen much of him and I was impressed. Porter could have done his one shot and hold technique, thank goodness he didn't too much.
Can't wait for Thurman to try and regain his belts, it isn't going o be easy.

I didn't say he had no case. I just thought Porter won or got a draw. I myself couldn't give Ugas 7 rounds. Fights look different in person though. If I thought Porter won 115-113, Ugas winning 115-113 wouldn't be a robbery. I might not agree with it, but not a robbery.

ENJOY!!

I had it 114-114.

I had it 115-113 Porter.

Ugas was in the center of the ring, his defence was solid, but he wasn't effective really. Porter outworked and outscored him with effective stuff.

By the way, those punchstats during the fight only distract.
