Comments Thread For: Ellerbe Clarifies Max Weight For Broner-Porter is 144

[Cinci Champ]

this, but it will be hilarious if porter pulls a walters comes in heavy

its possible broner weighed 144 against maidana anyway but im sure he would have to give up a ton of $

Porter still knocking that Coward out! Bam Boom ****! Its Ovah for Bronah!

For Porter it less about the cut to 144 and more about the fact he can't re-hydrate above 154.

IMO that's what makes this type of move really cynical.

Deliberately making a fighter weaker on the day of the fight.

Typical Haymon TMT BS move.

Haymon and Mayweather = slick way to violate the M. Ali act...

Where are all the Pacquiao-haters who cry about draining opponents... I bet Broner gets a pass for the catch weight if he wins... nobody really cared about catch weights until the guy Mayweather ducked for 5 years started used them a few times..then when Mayweather used it against Marquez and Canelo..all was forgotten lol...

Unbelievable

Porter's going to be so weight drained it's not even funny.

Well he accepted the rules didnt he? he surely could fight another lucrative Opponent couldnt he? He still gonna win anyway.

i struggle to see how porter could possibly make this weight healthy, im not looking forward to the weigh in. a healthy porter i feel confident in beating ab. but a weight drained porter could fade earlier

I call it the "Oscar De La Hoya" effect. Remember when ODH fought Pac and everyone thought he would win because he was much bigger? Well you have to ask yourself "when is the last time he actually weighed that little?" If the answer is over 5 years you can expect him to have some serious issues.

Golovkin would fight Mayweather or Pacquiao at 152 if they offered, doesn't make it right. Catchweights should be banned from the sport. It's unhealthy.

What on earth does Ellerbe have to do with this fight? I'm curious.

Broner is an Al Haymon managed fighter but under no promotional banner. Why is he speaking on Broner's behalf?

Maybe that promoters license tmt promotions got has something to do with it. I mean if he's not being promoted by someone and Haymon can't do it because he's a manager then it's prbly tmt unless Haymon's using that adviser **** still but I doubt it with that law suit in the works.

You guys also forget to mention that there is a 10 pound rehydration clause for this fight.

This could really hurt Porter as I'm sure he's already past 154 in regular fights.
