Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter, Trainer Not Concerned with Broner’s Speed

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Shawn Porter is a naturally bigger fighter — a former 165-pound amateur who has mostly been a junior middleweight and welterweight as a pro. But when he steps in against Adrien Broner this Saturday at a fight with a contractual catch-weight of 144 pounds, Porter isn’t concerned about the speed that the former 130-, 135- and 147-pound titleholder will bring into the ring.

“Yes, he is skillful and fast. We haven’t really done that much different to try to offset that or anything, the reason being because we know I’m just as fast and just as quick as he is,” Porter said on a June 15 media conference call. “There haven’t been any special workouts that we’ve incorporated in this camp or anything like that different to offset his speed.

There should be a lot of fireworks in this fight but the catch weight may be a problem for Porter in the latter rounds.

This fight will just boil down to Broner's power. If Porter respects Broner's power then Porter will be careful otherwise he will just ruck and maul Broner and beat the hell out of him. Porter has no need to worry about cutting the ring because Broner doesnt use his feet. Broner's too heavy for his frame to move so he only needs to worry about that jab and hooks to the body. Interesting fight this one.
