Lol it aint bad, 155 in the morning, i think it benefits Porter more than Broner

Oh great mini mayweather again

He will get rocked and I can't wait to see him look like a fool again.

a lot fo fighters have been doing this for years so i dont get all the hate towards broner.

i give him props for facing a tough opponent in porter who dismantled malignaggi but got out boxed by a very strong, slick and skilled opponent in brook.

if you dont know already, i am super psyched about this fight, best pbc match up so far!!!!

Broner probably hurting himself with this weight cut off at 155 too.

This definitely hurts Porter more especially with a second day weigh in. Porter is a natural 147 lb fighter and he already has to lose weight to make that but now the fight is at 144-145. He has to dehydrate an additional two pounds then is unable to rehydrate more than 10 pounds. He will not be as strong as usual.

Former IBF welterweight titlist Shawn Porter faces Adrien Broner on June 20th in a battle of Ohio that will curiously take place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. But while both combatants have competed as welterweights, this contest will be taking place at a catch-weight.

"The weight limit is 144-pounds plus a pound, give or take," said Kenny Porter, Shawn's father and trainer who is well aware of the tactics taking place.

"They're trying to bring us down to try to hurt us and they asked for a second-day weigh-in," continued the elder Porter. "The day of the fight we have to weigh-in, again." [Click Here To Read More]
