Great fight if true.

Respect to Broner, enough of fighting Molinas already.

Man how the **** is Porter going to squeeze down to 144? He's a natural 154 pounder as it is.

War Broner!!!!!!



WHY IS THIS IN VEGAS. THIS BELONGS IN OHIO.

nothing about this fight makes much sense. Porter ain't making no 144. Guy has to get buck naked to stand on the scales and make 147. Only reason this is happening is because Thurman said no and they need someone to fight Porter in a big fight on that date.

Porter can make 144?

[bojangles1987]

That catchweight is straight garbage. Porter could come in overweight and still be drained. I'm not sure he's capable of making 144.

That's crazy.

[Build That Wall]

Everything but the Venue makes sense.

Good fight. Porter is going to do well here if he's back to his best.
