Shawn Porter vs. Yordenis Ugas

BLH had it 115-113 for Ugas. Ugas, who had won eight straight coming into this fight, was a determined challenger. There were a few rounds where he probably could have done a bit more, and that might have been enough to swing a couple in his favor on that 115-113 Porter card from judge Max DeLuca. Or maybe not. Porter, 31, struggled to make weight on Friday, eventually having to cut chunks of his hair off to get under 147 pounds. Porter bounced around a lot in this fight, not attacking the crafty, longer and taller Cuban with the sort of bullying tactics we’ve often seen him use in the past. And Ugas didn’t box at range nearly as much as you might have expected, either — he often stalked Porter, doing good body work. The decision Controversial UPPERCUT had it much closer.
