I’ll show greater skills to the fans in fighting Mario Barrios than I did against Manny Pacquaio,” Thurman said.

Replaying the Spence fight in my mind, I know there are things I left out of the ring. Porter: Everybody feels that my style is based on aggression and speed, but my style is solely based on being the dictator in the ring.

Pacquiao seemed to have the clear advantage Saturday but one ringside judge, Glenn Feldman, gave the 30-year-old American a 114-113 advantage.
