Shawn Porter is incredibly crude

[New England]

If I'm British can i still be Porter fan, or does it violate some NSB code?

you have my blessing, yank.

I never thought Shawn Porter was good a few years ago and I still dont. With that said what he'd do to Khan and Brook would be illegal.

I couldn't disagree more about Paulie holding his own in the clinch. He was getting manhandled, Porter pushed him off and clocked him every time.

Porter may be crude, but he's explosive enough to make up for it. Considering how he manhandled Alexander, there aren't going to be many welterweights who can handle the physical package Porter brings. He can work on the technical side.

I like Porter. He clearly has flaws and areas he can clean up, but the framework is there. He seems to understand his role in the ring, staying outside when he needs to be patient, choosing the right punches and closing the distance when he needs to close the distance.

He can definitely improve his inside game if he stays xalmer and picks his shots rather going all out (could just have been the gameplan vs Paulie and Devon tbf) and he seems to smother himself sometimes too.

No matter what though if he keeps improving and fighting this style his career is going to be fun to watch.

I think he beats Brook quite comfortably.

I don't think that leaping left hook is a problem as long as he uses it at the right time and against the right opponents. Against Malignaggi ir was perfect because Paulie cant defend the left hook and was pulling straight back. He also had no power to hurt Porter if he tried to counter... Against other opponents it could get him in trouble, but if he uses it sparingly as a shock tactic and sets it up well with feints etc he'll be fine imo

I agree on both.

He's very verstaile and very talented.

People make out he's a brawler with no talent. Pauli himself alluded to it in the build up for their fight. I said in that fight that Porter is just as talented as Pauli if not more.

He's never going to be a perfect, polished fighter but he's very effective. Very fast feet, fast hands, power, stamina, explosive, he has a lot of good tools.

I see Brook getting stopped, and that leaping left hook will land on Brook.

I've seen people say Brook is more talented than Porter. That is baffling to me.

showtime shawn patterson, left hook innovator.

This is true.

Alexander might not to be great but if there's one thing he's good at it's spoiling. He's shown even in victory it's hard to look good against him.

Porter absolutely bullied him.

He's a bully in there.

He is a big ass welterweight, he bullied Paulie. BUT what does that actually prove(that we didn't know)? I want to see him in there with an elite young boxer who is hungry like him. I honestly don't see him being on top for long. I can't really judge him off that Paulie performance because he didn't respect his power at all.

With that being said, Khan would beat that ass lol...

He didnt respect Devons power either.

NSB always gets worked up over stuff like this. I remember when it was Kirklands turn after he beat up Angulo.

Yes, you can be under the Weebler-Thurman precedent. Weebler's a big Thurman believer, a beweebler if you will.
