No More Rehydration Limit For Broner-Porter

Well I do feel this is the right decision, Broner has already been given an advantage with the catchweight and many think he won't make 144. Reminder that the 10lb rehydration limit was only for Porter however I suspect Broner is struggling to make 144 so has given that up. Broner rehydrated to around 158 in recent fights so that clause would be impossible for him. Porter looks as lean as the Hulk and apparently has a few more pounds to lose... Broner WILL still win a UD though. https://twitter.com/danrafaelespn/status/611959890160955392 How do I embed a tweet guys? Broner sparring Porter a few years ago: http://youtu.be/rUL8nN7xte8

wonder why Broner is fighting as a southpaw he was probably helping porter prepare for a fight of some sort. not much can be told from that but broner looked like he has minimal trouble even in southpaw stance. its gonna be a good fight.

I can see both of these guys rehydrating over 160, easily.

Is Porter weight drained already? If not, then this helps Porter tremendously. Someone with great insight on cutting weight tell us more about how this truly affects the fight. If everything is equal, I don't see this being a close fight and Porter hurts Broner bad.

Any changes made will be to suit Broner. I'd imagine he can't meet his own clauses now. The guy is a joke.

I've stated I don't care about CW's and I don't. But Dougie Fishcer tweeted something out that's very telling to me. The drained fighter has never won, at least I can't remember the last time a guy came down in weight and won. Hopkins vs DLH comes to mind but that's it at the moment. I'll be rooting for Porter, I wish he got a new trainer instead of his pops though.

Porter still won't be the same, he's been preparing to make the rehydration limit his whole camp. Broner probably hasn't he looked bigger than Porter from what i've seen. If i was Porter i'd still want the clause. I don't think porter had a chance in hell of making thar rehydration limit. He came in at over 160 last time out.

Porter probably was unable to make weight, but so much has happened in the past few days that the fight must go on.

So basically Broner knows he won't be able to make the hydration limit he set :dead: Well broner has never rehydrated close to 160 so I doubt that's the issue.
