Shawn Porter brought the biggest upset on this weekend of upsets by defeating Devon Alexander by unanimous decision on last Saturday night in Barclays Center, New York. All three judges scored 115-113, 116-112, 116-112 for Porter. Porter left arena with Alexanders IBF welterweight title.
I mean this was a big surprise for me
and for a lot of boxing fans and experts. Porter came to the fight as a
big underdog without any big names in his record, but he managed to
dominate Devon Alexander who looked very poor that night.
All this fight was a big mystery for me.
I mean Devon Alexander is a southpaw
and usually it is very hard to land your jabs against the southpaw
fighters. And Shawn Porter is not the one that has a perfect jab. But
that jab was landing so much that it was unbelievable for me.
From the start Shawn Porter decided to
go inside as a machine and I believe Alexander wasn't expecting that to
happen. He went inside and landed his big shots to the body and head.
And for Alexander it was a surprise. Alexander can land good
counter-punches but for some reason he was fighting strange brawl.....
