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

That rehydration clause got me heated. I'll make my prediction for the fight after the weigh in.

[boxing maniac]

Porter just agreed to his 2nd loss. Spence is taking a risky fight as well Garcia is one tuff mutha Freaker and gonna give him all he can handle

[deathofaclown]

Could this be one of the worst draining's since De La Hoya v Manny?

I don't particularly like any catchweight but surely Porter is going to be like a zombie at 144? at least he can rehydrate a little bit still, the damage might be done by then.

Although it's unfair to discredit catchweight wins like some of Mannys, or Floyd v Canelo or any others. If the opponent agrees to the weight then no excuses.

I just think Porter at 144 is insane..

Another good match-up, Thanks AL!

[WarMaidana]

broner has fought at 147 before so there should be no catchweight. Normally i'd say porter wrecks broner unless he holds like crazy, but since he will be so weight drained porter might look like crap

I remember in the post fight interview for Broner-Taylor, Broner said,

"He is African-American, so I knew he was gonna be tough!"

This should be a very good fight.

Yeah, I remember him saying that and it stood out to me too. That was a fun fight.

I made a comment the other day saying Broner wouldn't fight Porter and instead take on an easier opponent but if this fight becomes official much props to Broner. With that said i think Porter knocks this clown out. This will be a can't miss fight.

Edit: just realized the fight is in 5 weeks and at a catchweight of 144 lbs. oh well should still be a good fight but Porter might be in bad shape. Still can't wait.

Like the sound of this fight.

Hope fight goes as scheduled

Broner

Good fight on paper , i still believe Broner can be good .. not great but good, he just needs to stop being a clown, oh well thats too much to ask

I think people put too much emphasis on these catchweights. Were talking about world class athletes here. If they cant lose a few pounds over the course of a couple months then there's something wrong with that picture. Usually when a fighter drops weight, as long as he does it the way he's supposed to it should actually help them gain some speed and endurance
