    I think Broner is a bit tougher than people give him credit for and I don't think Porter is just going to bully him around. Maidana is craftier and trickier than Porter who is more straight forward.

    Pretty interesting fight to think about, tough to say what that fight will turn on Porter's physicality or Broner's ability to box.

      Broner's biggest weakness IMO is his lack of or transition of defense to offense.

      His offense is good, his defense is good. He's a good counter puncher when your lunging in but not a catch and shoot kinda counter puncher.

      I agree Porter is too straight forward though to expose this.

        That is true, generally speaking that sort of transition is the hang up for a lot of guys. That is the hardest thing to get, and it really shows who works hard at the details of their game.

        I don't quite know what I think yet about this fight, probably not something I would bet on unless the odds are really tilted one way then I would probably just take the dog.
