Comments Thread For: Mayfield Late Replacement to Fight Porter, Trainer Says

[Real Talk85]

They are damn near the same person. It's going to be like they are fighting their doppelganger.

Expect many tackles, grapples, flying headbutts, and psycho crusher finishers.

Impressive replacement for a one-day notice.

Mayfield good replacement but it's all about ready he is not about his name... w/1 day notice, flying to the event, , weighin , probably late, not eating correctly...

Is Mayfield actually fighting this fight? Most places are reporting it's Bone fighting.

I never actually realised Mayfield is 34, i always thought he was younger than that.

Edit: Judging by Mayfields Twitter this seems to be on.

intresting but I think its a bad clash of style, they both rush in like football players, try to smother and wrestle you on the inside, I predict a few vicious head butts.

Mayfield is gotta get shut out. Then you'll see why it was a bad fight for broner

This is why you have to stay in the gym to be ready at all times. And fighters that stay on target 24/7 will have no problem instead of fighters that walk around 20pds heavier than their division.

Porter will outwork Mayfield but I think Karim will have his moments in the first 6-7 rounds.

[Fetta]

Not bad for a very last minute replacement.

[North Star]

So they bring in a former lightweight, who is now a junior welter, to fight a former junior middle, that is now welter?

I guess it's all that could be done to save the televised portion of the card. I don't anticipate this one doing as well as the NBC debut.

Heard Eric Bone just got picked
