Slighty, but still an underdog. I was shocked at these odds. I don't see a weight drained wide punching Porter beating a more technical straight punching broner. I think Broner is gonna school porter on the outside and hold his own when porter tries his rough tactics on the inside. As the fight goes on I see Broner getting stronger while the weight drained Porter fades. No doubt Broner will land the cleaner punches. I'm putting nice coin on Broner
Porter will vomit his way to 144, eat a taco and drink a glass of water that will take him to 155 for the morning weigh in and then HE WILL hydrate / eat properly and somehow find a way to WHOOP Broners mother****ing coward ass. Watch. He is running straight thru Broner.
It doesn't matter if it's Porter, Broner or Brook. They all only marginally pass the eye test IMO. Thurman too. Some thumper will put hands on Thurman and I seriously doubt his ability to thump back.
I disagree with the Thurman quip. Chavez can thump and Thurman took his shots and kept on ticking. Though I do think he was getting slightly out boxed in that fight.
I saw those odds too but I think they are about right. They both fought Paulie and wow, what a difference. Porter attacks hard and fast and Broner doesn't respond well to heavy pressure.

yeah boxing shouldn't be a physical sport. that's unfair to the boxing geniuses with skills.
All is fair in boxing, if you ain't cheatin you ain't tryin
What exactly is Porter without his physicality?
Probably worse than Broner would be my answer.

broner should be the underdog in every fight since he sucks. even a molina rematch

Not a fight I would touch with a ten foot pole for odds that are near even. I would put Broner as a slight dog, but there are enough worries about both that make that fight not worth it.
If the odds get to where you can get to like +300 on Broner it might be worth looking at then.
I can't really see messing with that fight though otherwise (and it probably won't get there). Not that placing a small bet would be wrong but that is not a fight I would look to hit hard because it is inline with the reality of the situation.
As he should be. Broner is very inactive against guys who try to rough him up. Porter is a cut above those guys he's struggled with. He's either gonna have to show us more than he has in the past, or hope Porter is weight drained in order to come out victorious. Unless of course the judges don't do their part, as pointed out already.
Maidana's angles? Huh???? That dude walks in a perfectly straight line when moving forward. Albeit behind a really stiff jab... But there are no angles with Maidana lol...
Maybe he meant the angle of the punches. He throws so awkwardly that even Mayweather got tagged repeatedly. His feet are pretty much on a grid though, no angles there, just in the arms.
Eh, porters power nor angles are nearly as good as maidanas. Neither is his jab (at least the jab maidana showed against broner and floyd)

I agree with him being him a favorite and if this fight was at the full WW limit I wouldn't be shocked if Porter was even a 2-1 favorite. The only thing that's going to beat Porter that night is Porter himself, his body not cooperating and him being sluggish and gassing. If he can apply the pressure for a full 12 he wins... I mean look at what Emanuel Taylor was able to do ... Porter is a cut above.
Pretty sure that's what people said about maidana

Broner cant handle bigger guys i see porter coming in nice and fit ready for action. Porters probably a robert guerrero of the world skillwise but i see him getting robbed on the score cards in a fight he will clearly win.
