Comments Thread For: Adrien Broner Confident: I Might Stop Shawn Porter

[Cinci Champ]

dont worry broner if you in the internet trolls will find a way to discredit it even tho its plan as day your one only boxers that will fight literally anyone. Were talking about guy going up 2 weight classes to fight maidana. Im sorry but the fact people hate him makes no sense considering hes pretty much the only big name fighter left willing to fight anyone

You might get your azz handed to you as well.

But are you confident he might?

This was the wrong fight picked for Broner. Not a slow, methodical, flat footed, plodding, lead with your chin, Latino. This is a young, recent former Welterweight Champion, with great hand speed, footwork, clean living, and hits really hard; just ask Paulie Mags who lost a controversial decision to Broner (and I'm not even a Mags fan). Porter nearly put Mags in a coma. Broner is no Kell Brook either. You can bet Porter has something to prove, puts a beat down on Broner. Juan Manuel Marquez didn't want anything to do with Porter when he had a title and called out JMM!

Most fights are won at the negotiating table, and this one (On paper) seems to follow that trend - Porter is very dense (muscular build) his father made a very smart and over the past year or so, he walks around very close to the 147 pound weight limit. But saying that Porter will have to lose 3 pounds of muscle that he normally doesn't have to shed??? Broner is using his legs a lot more now - good fight even tho, but Porters team should have said, ok you want it at 144, no rehydration clause! Porter's team seem overly confident - they let Kell Brook's team watch Porter spar before their fight, and now agreeing to a 144 pound catch weight with a 10 pound rehydration clause - SMH!

i dont buy that one bit. people are completely ignoring porter never rehydrates over 10 pounds anyway. these fighters still have to fight all that bs is way to discredit a fighter no one likes. are u saying maidana won at the negotiating table because broner went up 2 weight classes to fight a bigger and hard hitting fighter? or is that somehow different? catch weights are not great but broner just is not a 147 fighter hes just not. Were talking about a guy who gains so much weight in between fights so that he could fight at 147 and train hard but hes not a 147 pound fighter as we saw in the paulie and maidana fights give the guy a break. Would you of been happier if broner and porter were fighting at 140? i mean its not a catch weight? If he fights porter at 147 that would of just been dumb this kid is willing to fight anyone to his own detriment but people are getting a little crazy with the catch weights no one was seems to complain much about them when its fighters people like

If Broner KO's Porter, I'll be trumped. I cant' see Broner winning this fight

dont worry because they are fighting at 144 people will be able to pretend it never even happened. they like to say fights are won at the negotiating table but give broner no leeway for going up in weight to fast and being pit up against maidana which was one the worst match making efforts i have ever seen. Paulie strait to maidana was beyond dumb. they got greedy they knew if broner beats maidana hes basically on verge of super stardom but it was dumb. my only point is you cant have it both ways if people want to talk **** about a catch weight then you also got give broner lee way for going up in weight to fast and fighting maidana

I think Porter will make the CW healthy and strong. As much as I hate catchweights, I always say that it takes 2 guys to agree to it, so it can't really be used as an excuse

But are you confident he might?

I'm hundred percent confident he, maybe, might.

I get what you're saying but his foolishness doesn't endear him to fans. Also he didn't go up two weight classes to fight Maidana. He already went up to 147 to fight Paulie and took the title and then made a defense against Maidana.


Broner IS willing to fight anyone though, but he doesn't get to pick his opponents anymore.
