Spence moved to 26-0 with the victory.
“This is a lifetime dream,” he said after the Sept. 28 bout. “It shows hard work pays off. ... Shawn Porter is a rough and awkward fighter. I didn't get off what I wanted to. He's a true champion. He made it tough ... (but) all my punches have bad intentions.”
