Porter is gonna tax that ass

[SugarRaRobinson]

AB has really gotten himself into some **** fighting Porter . I'm predicting this beating to be more brutal than the one Marcos Maidana gave him

50/50 fight. Boner's has the slicker boxing skills but his footwork/mobility sucks b4lls. Porter's powerful in a bullish way and much more mobile, but he's frenetic and lacks poise. His jump-in style beats lesser fighters, but I'd bet Boner's more durable that the likes of Malignaggi.

Porter by KO, vs Boner on points.

Broner when his plan backfires and Porter makes weight :

[FrankieBruno]

All Broner has to do is move around similar to what he did against Molina and make Porter pay for every wild swing

If Broner can stand and trade with Maidana, he can survive Porter

Porter fights like a moron, eyes closed, charging in like a rhino, there is no real skill in his work, he doesnt sit on his punches.

Broner is the more skilled boxer, better punch selection, faster hands and hits harder, its his movement i worry about.

If Broner can win he is back in the big time and his career has been perfectly planned following the loss to Maidana, slowly stepped up the opponents to Porter and making him just a little weaker at 144 lbs. Genius.

WAR BRONER!!!!!!!!

What happens to Broners career if he loses?

This is the first step up he is taking since his loss to Maidana

Where does his career go from here if he were to lose?
