Porter initiated most of the clinches!

[Bigg Rigg]

Isn't there like a "master boxer" who's ranked #2 in he world that clinches the entire fight?? Even when he's in complete control.

[daggum]

yes and wlad's opponents initiate all the clinches against him. wlad is forced to clinch to prevent them from punching him. how dare they try that sh-it. stand outside where only wlad can hit you an you can't hit him. you too porter!

No matter who clinched who, Brook fought Porter the way he was fought to fight these wreckless wild fighters.

Porter caused both head butts, and whenever he got inside, he smothered himself and couldn't get off. Dude needs to seriously consider changing trainers.

Brook initiated most of it. Still I don't blame him for it. What else are you supposed to do when a guy is crowding you with zero concern, and dangerously leading with his head?

[Doctor_Tenma]

I wouldn't say most of it but he was definitely responsible for a large portion of it, especially in the second half. Porter has himself to blame for rushing in without a jab and throwing really wide.

I like Porter. Good guy. But he's just another seek & destroy style of fighter who can't adjust when he can't simply bulldoze through the other guy.

Porter & Ruslan are different fighters, but at the same time, they both have seek and destroy mentalities. Both can look great when they have dudes across from them that they can walk down and go right through -- but when that doesn't happen, they're finished. Can't adapt. They only have one way to fight.

[pesticid]

He fights like a billy goat, comes in flying with his head (caused himself to get cut and Brook), grabs hold and rabbit punches.

Every single fight is the same.

Watch it again



Most of those clinches are initiated by Shawn Porter or caused by his total wrecklessness

Why didn't you guys moan about the excessive clinching against Alexander? Diaz? Gomez? Thompson? etc etc
Was it their fault too?

There were barely any clinches in the Daiz fights and in the Alexander fight. Mind you, I am not saying it was all Kell but you're painting a picture of Shawn as a clincher and he isn't.

This.

Porter kept getting caught on the way in, when he couldn't out muscle Brook, it was clear he didn't have a plan B.

porter stop leading with your head. stand back and fight like a man.
