Comments Thread For: Broner-Porter Very Close For 6/20, at 144-Pounds

[-PBP-]

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

His Dad said they've started cutting the weight weeks ago. He's already down to 154.

[IMDAZED]

yup

Also I hear. There is a weight gain max. No more than 155 fight night for @AdrienBroner n @ShowtimeShawnP LIKE FIGHT NIGHT MAXES

Unbelievable, my friend.

Porter is more of a LMW, squeezing down to Welter.

144 is going to be tough, though if he comfortable he beats Broner like Maidana did, maybe worse, like a Malignaggi beating.

[dirty fingers]

More catchweight nonsense.

Interesting. Broner Wins

Good scrap. But I got Broner, easy work after 6 or 7 rounds, Broner is technically the better fighter, better jab, can control distance more consistently.

Porter is sloppy, yes he's athletic but he gets wild, he looks powerful and menacing at times, I'm not saying he isn't, but he's not a Killer, I don't see him landing anything to significant on Broner.

What punches was Brook catching Porter with? straights. The jab and the straight right or left, that's Broner's Kitchen, and he will cook up something ****y for Mr. Porter.

Its a catch weight, yep I know Porter will rehydrate to whatever, but He also has "stamina" issues, and remember Maidana is a REAL PUNCHER at 147, yet Broner got back up everytime, so we know Broner is game and tough.

Porter DOES NOT have the type of experience the Maidana has, he's gonna get served. Broner by majority decision, maybe even unanimous, but I doubt it.

:ANYWORD:

[ramplamp]

well the deck is stacked against Porter with all of these weight stipulations. PBC is pure horse****.

I bet Al Haymon matchmaker smokes crack. Just pick one of many JWWs ffs.

[El-blanco]

Yea Cotto's next fight is at 157... which I have not defended and will not. Also, martinez defended that very same belt at a catchweight...

you only "bodied" yourself dumbass.

Lol because the opponent wanted a catchweight! It's not the same thing as the champion requesting a catchweight. Martinez never requested one as champ.

[Chrismart]

I'd be surprised if he can make 144 and stay healthy.
They stuck a rehydration limit on also? Pfft.

[bigjavi973]

Unbelievable, my friend.

IMO ****** of porter to go down the catchweight route for this fight...
