Broner looks bigger than Porter. His shoulders are a lot broader than Porter's which could make a difference during the clinches if Broner positions himself correct.
I expect A LOT of right uppercuts to land, its one of Broner's best punches.

The Sky Sports Panel offer their predictions
Johnny Nelson
I think Porter is going to win on points. I think we will see the same style we saw against Kell Brook but I am not sure Broner is going to be able to flip it and wear him down in the second half. You pick a rhythm when you are fighting someone and the problem is that Porter's is very unreadable and very awkward to deal with.
Kell was lucky. He boxes in a gym with all sorts of people, with all different approaches, skills and styles and I wonder if Broner has the same options to work with. I have a feeling he will not be able to work out that odd rhythm. While I am pretty sure it's going to be ugly and messy at times, Porter nicks it.
Spencer Oliver
I believe Porter will win because he'll out-hustle him. Porter's got such a busy work-rate and his style is all wrong for Broner, who likes a bit of space. Maybe Porter doesn't hit as hard as Maidana but the volume of punches will be more. I think Porter will win a wide points decision.
I think Porter belongs at the top and he'll be chasing a rematch with Kell Brook. We'd all love to see that one again.

Broner lost to Marcos Maidana, so he obviously came up with the answers, pressured him, stayed on him and because he is naturally bigger, I can see Porter doing the same. I have no problem with Porter being beaten by Kell Brook but I don't think he got enough credit for the work he did in the first half of the fight, the work-rate and those body shots.
Broner will throw some nice punches and put some flashy stuff in that the judges will like, so it really could go either way. That 144lbs limit will help Broner but I am leaning towards Porter. On points.
Glenn McCrory
I still think Porter can win this fight on points. I think it's a points fight either way but I think he'll sneak it. He's the bigger man but hopefully the weight stipulation doesn't kill his chances.
If Porter wins, then the Brook-Porter rematch would be a brilliant one to have in England. Porter gave Kell the opportunity and Kell's a classy enough guy to give him the opportunity back.
Jamie Moore
As long as Porter's okay at the weight, he'll nick it on points. I'm looking forward to the weigh-in because you can get a lot from that.
I'll wait to make a more solid prediction until after I've seen them both on the scales but if pushed right now, I'm going to go for Porter on points in a close one.

well due to haymon removing the next day weight contract i am forced to make a dramatic change,at first i was adament by my BRONER KO 8 pick but now i am predicting a SD or MD win for Broner since porter will have 30 lb weight adventage this is not a fair matchup but broner will find a way to win trust me,
BRONER by SD/MD
you may not agree but u will respect me after the decision is made on sat night
