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

Also it should be the fighter going down in weight that has an advantage, not the other way around

[MJ406]

the fighter going down in weight has the advantage?

^ it depends on how much making the weight takes out of that fighter. Porter is big for Welter, so a couple extra lbs won't help him at all

"Broner and Spence stepping up their competition." ... is it really "stepping up" if you're fighting a Welterweight at a catchweight? Gimme a break, that's a joke

I like the PBC series, but I don't understand why he would have Broner vs. Porter @ a catch-weight of 144, when he could have Garcia vs. Broner @ 144.

Just my 2 cents, but I dunno if Garcia would bother wasting his time with Broner. to go from Lamont Peterson to Broner would actually be a drop in opposition

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

really dont matter all that does is get him more haters which = more $

you should be happy now you have a built in excuse in case broner wins to discredit it

I like this fight, but wtf is that 144 nonesense.

And conversly if Broner loses, he's gonna look like a clown ... had the fight tipped even more in his favor by being at 144lbs and still couldn't win? OUCH

I hope you realize Broner having to fight Porter at 144 discredits itself. As what does Broner beating Porter at 144lbs prove? He can beat a Welterweight when they have to cut 3lbs below the max ... yeah that's a real star in the making

144? Porter has had to strip to nude his last couple of fights to make 147.

Idiot move.

Yeah, I totally forgot about that, he better become a vegan for this fight.

Porter has memo
He'll make weight

Porter will outpoint broner, possibly outpoint him depending on how well conditioned broner is

I can't see any way broner beating porter

Porter better athlete, stronger. Better inside fighter. Broner won't be able to stop porter from ambushing him and getting inside and scoring points. Porter is the busier fighter.

Porter wins a wide decision.

Broner vs Porter is a great fight ! I can't wait to watch but c'mon this has to be at 154. Trying to weight-drain Porter is a sad tactic.
