Shawn Porter-Adrien Broner: Post-Fight Report Card
The odds were stacked against him. Shawn Porter agreed to come in lower on the scale (144 lbs.) than he’d been since 2011. He made the weight the right way. He prepared the right way. He won going away. Saturday night’s biggest fight, pitting former Welterweight titlists Porter and Adrien Broner, wasn’t a good fight. It was however an interesting fight from start to finish with a strong dramatic flair at the finish. Broner became the first man to drop Porter in the final round but he couldn’t finish and didn’t seem all that bothered. No one should have been surprised. The way he fought Saturday, Broner couldn’t be bothered with the rigors of being a professional in the weeks leading to his second defeat. Shawn Porter has rebounded from a loss to Kell Brook and there are a number of fights to look forward too.
