According to the above and multiple other sources, this fight will happen on June 20th.

I see AB getting his **** pushed back if this happens. Nice match up though.

Broner will be stifled by Porter's physicality and inside pressure. Broner likes to fight at his own pace and Porter will force him into an uncomfortable pace and into a position with his back against the ropes. Porter's style is all wrong for Broner who needs space and wont get it. Broner doesn't have the power to keep Porter off him and Porter will simply outwork Broner. Pretty easy fight to predict.

Broner doesn't have the footwork to deal w/ Porter. He'll have the same problems he had with Paulie plus, he'll be dealing with power and aggression, two things we know he doesn't handle well.

This would be a classic match if it would happen.

Terrible fight for broner. I'm confused though, I thought he was staying at 140, did porter drop too?

Apparently the fight will be at 147. Porter has a hard time making 147, he's the biggest welterweight in the top 10 along with Brook. Credit to Broner for taking the fight but he's gonna get the **** beaten out of him.

Ya he's going to get mauled by porter. I'm guessing broner can't make 140.

I will wait for the announcement...

Broner's opponent choice after losing to Maidana have been extremelly careful.
So hard to believe that he will return to welterweight to fight someone like Porter.

I think Porter can take it to a decision, but if Broner can some timing down he has the fast enough hands to keep Porter thinking but he has to be busy enough.

I see it as a tough fight for both guys but I think Porter bags 3-4 rounds early easily and has the tools to shock Broner. Probably a 116-112 fight, don't think either guy has the power to drop each other.

Broner has great hands in my opinion but I can't see him doing what Brook did to Porter. Brook is a big, strong welterweight. Broner is sharp and fast but he isn't strong, and he doesn't hit that hard. Nor is he particularly fit and he certainly doesn't seem fit enough to fight off Porter for 12 rounds. If he can't control the distance and he can't get Porter's respect, I don't know how he's going to win. Porter would have to show up with no energy for Broner to keep him under control.
