Porter the new "Brawler Hype Machine"

[Showtime..]

Again. Danny Garcia lost a fight and everybody including me said he was exposed. He wasn't exposed, just beaten by a better, more prepared fighter. Porter will lose, going undefeated doesn't matter, what matters is who you beat, let it be by rematch if so.

Stop it. Seriously Thurman Has more hype for beating? He has some solid momentum for blitzing Mallinaggi who is a proven durable fighter. Thats it.

So what? Jack Dempsey was a "brawler", Mike Tyson was a "brawler". Sometimes there is a guy who just blasts people and it works because the other fighter just doesn't know how to deal with that kind of aggression. Also, it's fun as hell to watch. I really don't care how long his career lasts or what kind of legacy he leaves I just hope we see him for a long time cause he's fun to watch.

Tyson- Puncher/Boxer with tons of skills..
Dempsey- Puncher/Boxer with tons of skills..

Since being a member of this site I've noticed a large amount of people say a fighter will be "exposed". If you fight good fighters you just might end up losing. Being undefeated is the exception. The people on this site seem to love being able to say "I told you so". What exactly are you telling us? If porter losses does that mean he's not good anymore. He will be exposed as what exactly?

To lose a fight does not necessarily mean a boxers been exposed. Its how you lose, who you lose to and under what circumstances..

Too many narrow minded, uneducated posters in this place, goes to show what the cyber world has done to individuals.

Add Keith “Sloppy” Thurman to that list Also.

porter isnt merely a brawler at all and i personally think he is at his best when fighting a pure boxer.

i like to call him an anti boxer. he uses his speed and amateur background to make it rough against these technical guys and force them to fight him, at which point his strength and pittbull attitude takes over. this guys is going to be very hard to outbox, with his experience from the amateurs he knows how to make boxers fight.

i feel the best way to beat him is a good puncher who can make him pay for his aggression and catch him coming in, or a good brawler who can beat him in an exchange of physicality. porter struggles when he is forced to be the boxer, but he knows how to make it rough on the stylists.

as far as hype goes i agree though. its getting a bit out of hand, then again he has earned much of it in the ring. i was very surprised when he beat alexander, very surprised in the manner he beat malignaggi too. its too soon to make him a future superstar but you cant sleep on him either.

Ring any bells?

I made a thread a few days ago stating when would we learn regarding the hype brawlers get even tough 9/10 they get exposed by boxers.

Doing what he did to Malinaggi takes him out of the hype job category, and I don't take people out of that category unless they deserve it. He isn't just a brawler, but he can bully the **** out of an outmatched opponent which is great to see.

I made a thread on this sort of thing the other day.

So many people on here cannot distinguish between straight up brawlers and pressure fighters who possess some skill.
