Since Pacquiao/Marquez 4 ended with a bang I've been trying to predict what boxing's next great rivalry will be. It's difficult this day an age with the conservative matchmaking, protecting prospects, network and promotional barriers, etc. But Saturday night was a step in the right direction.
Both fighters have proven that they are not afraid to take Ls. The fight was close, entertaining, drew a good crowd and drew good ratings. The next step is to see if Porter can bounce back with a notable win and get a second crack maybe in a year or two. The question is whether Porter can tweak certain things to pull out the W.
Can this evolve into this generation's great rivalry or are there some other alternatives?
