Shawn Porter has almost no ring IQ.

[Lords]

There's no setting up. There's no purpose. It's just lunge in, be physical, and throw wild punches to the body. He doesn't move his opponent to the ropes. He doesn't position himself before he starts throwing. He doesn't strategically move his opponent to the corner, like a "swarmer" should.

He looks like a spaz in there. Just lunging towards his opponent, and throwing smothered body and head punches.

Totally agree. Porter looked like shlt. He was off balanced, wild punches, didn't set up anything, didn't land any meaningful shots, just a disaster.

Brooke looked cool, calm and collective, set up punches, established the jab, landed all the meaningful shots. Glad the judges didn't screw him over.

All he's ever had is strength.

He didn't do anything different against Alexander or Paulie, they were just weak as **** and let him bully them. Kell's jab was terrific as it always is, he was making him miss by miles, landing clean shots...he is simply a far better fighter.

He likes to ambush and use his strength and conditioning to break your will.

I'm really surprised it took until this fight for people to realise what porter possesses or should I say, lacks.

[Ray*]

I actually thought he was on some type of drug with the way he was jumping around in there, he wasn't relaxed or calm. He need to go back and work on a number of things.

Porter should just go to MMA, he can't box a lick. This dude just rushing you with all his might and hoping to land with all his weight behind it. it was cringeworthy.

And from what people said he is having trouble making 147, if he goes back to 154 he is a dead man, if he couldn't man handle Brook how can he try that crap against some of these big 154 guys?

This guy got hit with a jab every time, no head movement at all. when he bobbed and weaved it made no sense, he moves his head when there is no punch coming smh, this kid was lucky just to win a belt by overpower the right guys. But he doesn't have much ring intelligence he just moves around thinking it looks good, you have to move to avoid punches not bob and weave and than get hit.

his dad just keeps repeating "work, you gotta work" " let's work shawn"

I still say Shawn Porter has more ring smarts than Andre Berto

Berto knows how to switch gears and doesn't just bullrush in and smother his punches. When Berto tried the shell stance, and he was getting hit, he didn't hesitate to abandon that. Porter though uses the same gear all night long.

Berto wasn't used to the shell stance. He tried it not really knowing what he was doing and got hurt doing so, so he reverted back to his old self after that. Not really making an intelligent call. Berto uses the same combos over and over again and when they don't work he just takes a beating.

Shawn Porter got beat by a bigger,better man tonight. That's all.
