Starting to lean towards Danny Garcia

I would feel a bit more confident in Porter if he wasn't inactive. One could say that his body may benefit from some inactivity due to his roughneck style, but we'll see.

Interesting match up. Garcia can connect with the hook a lot on Porter but Porter can also give a lot of trouble to Danny. Porter's style can really bother Danny and Danny will have to move his cement feet, but at least Danny can pivot though and shoot that left hook. Also at least Danny's fought this year, unlike Porter. Tough pick ... Danny is a solid mid-range hooker, right... but he doesn't move OK and doesn't have a decent jab...

Also: their fathers. I feel like Porter's father is a bit better of a cornerman and coach. I see Garcias dad drinking coke all the time. I am sure some of that may be paid promotionals, lIke Holyfield always has a coke in his hand at fights now, when they call on him he takes a sip or two. Watch Azat-Vargas and you'll see what I mean. So, I've seen Garcias father drinking coca cola like he liked it, many times, at press conferences and post fight conferences. I hold dear respect for both combatants and their fathers, as it's a beautiful thing to be in your kid's corner at this level. It is my dream to be that kinda father. That said, Porter's father seems a bit more with it, he's more humble, I like his corner advice. I like Porter's people more. We are the product of the sins of our fathers, we must deal with it as it makes us who we are. Let the epigenetic healing begin. One last thing, Porter's style and fighting spirit is a better display to the youth coming up as more of a solid example of what a warrior should be, how a warrior should fight. Gatti (RIP) I would've picked him.

I wanna put real money on this fight, I got a G on Porter. He's one of the toughest sons a btches in boxing right now. He's a Bikram yoga practicioner also, and I feel that it gives him the edge up close to get his shots off better.

The gift is going to get smashed. ill take any bet, i got porter.

I think he could beat Porter. I think Shawn will get caught coming in all wild and stupid.... If you're interested in a bet, all my points on Porter.

Garcia by late tko. There was/is no better tune up for Porter than Rios. Danny will be ultra sharp & he will catch Porter coming in. Garcia is also an underrated finisher.

This will be a close fight. If I had to choose though, my money would be on Danny..

Porter hasn’t fought in a while. Garcia shook off the rust against Rios, another come-forward fighter, perhaps a bit more nuanced than Porter but nowhere near as strong and well-conditioned. Garcia also withstood Robert Guerrero in his first fight at welter. I see that win downplayed and granted it wasn’t prime Guerrero but he brought everything he had left that night. This isn’t an easy fight for either. Porter is going to make it a rough one by smothering Garcia and trying to wear him down. Garcia’s job is to control the ring space and the pace by being a sharp boxer-puncher. Composure is an underrated attribute and Garcia is one of the more composed in the ring today. I expect that to make his work look a little cleaner against an overzealous Porter and carry him to a tight decision win.

im edging towards danny also porter doesnt throw straight punches exceptionally well and his movement is kind of like horns movement, not real purpose to it

Garcia KO's him ala Rios Style. Danny is also a better counter puncher.

This fight will probably end in a draw so that they have to have a rematch while Keith Thurman has some tune-up fights. That would be a ****ing disaster. Welterweight division is the last place we can afford draws right now

One thing we learned is that Danny Garcia has a good chin. He took some of Thurman's big shots early on and withstood them. Porter fights aggressively and pressures but is not a one punch KO guy. Interesting fight. I think it will be a close fight with Garcia edging it 115-113. I'm guessing a group of people will say Porter won and others will say Garcia won. You'll hear robbery, etc, etc......the same ol, same ol that we get on the forum.......but I think the judges will give Garcia the victory in a close fight.

Tough call. Porter is much busier than Danny. I don't think Danny knocks Porter out . 7-5 Porter . Or 114-113 if Danny scores a flash knock down.

Garcia is going to win this one. I can almost guarantee porter will not fight his usual rushing football style against danny. Porter will get tagged hard with power shots as he rushes in. He will think twice about it and try to outbox danny which you know isn't going to happen. Danny wins convincingly.

Stylistically this could be bad for danny. I feel like he likes guys at range and porter can make it tough by coming in, keeping his head in his chest and the constant pressure factor. Could see it playing out like broner fight unless danny is on his p's and q's

I think they are evenly matched.I favor Porter to win a close decision because he throws more punches per round and has a stronger will to win. Porter is relentless and sets a very fast pace.

Danny is very good at punching from the right distance with that power shot, but more importantly, he should be able to run Shawn into those shots when Porter attacks face first. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Danny stopped him.
