Broner vs Porter thoughts?

[SalimShady1212]

Broner easy, I don't like the guy but he's been underrated lately. Also, Porter looked like **** vs a career 140lber in Bone who had 24 hours notice.

[DreamerUSA]

Porter beat the hell out of Alexander and he almost killed that same Malignaggi inside four round who gave Broner all he could handle just less than a year before the Porter fight.
So if someone is overrated that's Broner. Okay, it died down after Maidna whooped him but sometimes still...

This. I'll never understand how folks always sleep on the Alexander win for Porter.

I think Porter will win. Broner has fought at 147 before and by trying to drain Porter he shows a lack of confidence and heart. Porter is just as fast as Broner and throws more punches and hits harder than Broner. I think Porter wins a close but clear ud.

porter beats broner maidana style

I did see a bit of Porter vs his last opponent and he looked like sht.

I don't know because I don't watch enough of either to make an accurate prediction but I feel it may end up a close fight on the cards, maybe a SD winner.

Doesnt have the power

If Porter and Maidana faced each other...Porter wud end up just like Broner

[Pugilist95]

Broner wins, triangle theories don't work in boxing.

Doesnt have the power

Tell that to Malignaggi. He is not in his prime but nobody gave him that kind of whooping ever...
Maidana has more power than Porter but imo Porter has definitely got that power which will bother Broner.
Oh and his sheer physical power is also no joke.

Malignaggi was over the hill

How many TKO's did Porter score before that, look at the gap between the TKO's.

He is no Maidana as far as power

Anyways i suspect Porter was on peds, soon as proper drug testing was in place, he didnt look so strong

Fight is only a few weeks away. Solid match up tough fight to call.


Speed- Advantage Broner

Power- Advantage Porter

Chin- Advantage Porter

Stamina- Advantage Porter

Heart- Advantage Porter

Athleticism- Tie

Level of Opposition- Advantage Broner


Possible fight X-Factors:

[X] Broner out clubbing when he should be training

[X] Will porter feel strong sucking down to a catchweight?



If porter can maintain a high work rate (which is broners kryptonite) then I think he can pull out the W, but if porter gets tentative from broners hard counter shots the fight turns in favor of broner. I think it'll be a close fight and for some reason just a gut feeling I think broner is going to get a controversial decision.

Speed I'd give to Porter (especially speed of foot)

Power is close, but Porter just about.. Broner hits hard

Chin even

Stamina Porter (if not drained)

Heart even (Broner showed a lot with Maidana)

Opposition even (both only fought like 2 good fighters so far)

It's an interesting fight but I think Porter's footspeed and ability to raid in and out gives him the edge. He can only do that because of his strength advantage too.
