Porter Will Be In Better Shape; Porter Too Strong

Will be a great fight. When is the last time you saw two top level brothers fight one another?

Broner wins, Porter can be a little one dimensional at times, this fight might be similar to Broner vs Molina, Broner's jab, i've been saying it for a while, is one of the best in all of boxing, thing is Broner would fight without it sometimes but he fights smarter now

It just depends on whether Porter will respect Broner's power. If he doesn't then it's game over for Broner because Porter will be all over him the way he did Alexander and Malignaggi. If he does respect it he will be gun shy the way he was with Brook.

If this were at the full 147 limit I would pick Porter. But Broner should win this fight. With Porter not looking too good against Brook and he's a big kid started his career at Jr Middleweight having to drain down to 144 and then on top of that there is a rehydration clause that stacks the deck in Broner's favor. Porter will be a drained zombie for this fight. I actually think it's likely he either doesn't make weight or doesn't stay in the 10lb rehydration at which point either the fight get's cancelled or Porter gets docked some of his paycheck. But it's not a fair fight and if Broner loses again despite all these advantages nobody will take him serious. He can't make 140 and he will have lost to Maidana and a drained Porter at 147.

If Broner not going to fight at 147 why not make his next fight against Danny Garcia another fighter who can't make 140 but is scared to fight guys at 147. I'd much rather see that then this junk they are doing to Porter.

porter isn't that skilled broner will win

[BrometheusBob.]

As long as this catchweight doesn't kill Porter he should beat Broner.

I'm gonna go with Broner here, Porter likes to jump in recklessly which will give Broner all the opportunities he needs to counter. Porter also telegraphs his attack a lot, so Broner not having the quickest feet isn't gonna be a problem.
