Comments Thread For: Porter on Broner: Little Kid From Cinci Scared of 147

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It’s a win Shawn Porter wants bad enough, that he was willing to match his career-lightest weight in order to make it happen.

The former welterweight titlist insists he is on course to make weight for his upcoming showdown with fellow Ohioan, former three-division titlist Adrien Broner. The two collide at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas (Saturday, NBC, 8:30 p.m. ET), with the fight to be contested at a maximum catchweight of 144 lbs.

Not an easy fight for Broner, could go either way.

Catch weight 144 and added weight clause bad 4 Port

Short Port is at a huge disadvantage with the 144lb weight clause and the add on weight by fight time clause which Broner had added in the fight Contract. Porter is at a huge disadvantage at 144lbs and the then the fight nite weight clause. Broner has the advantage as Short Port will be drained.

The catch weight is bad enough. At least let the guy re hydrate up to whatever weight he wants to after. Putting a restriction on hag too is bull****. I hope Porter wrecks Broner.

[JulianQ]

The CW and rehydration limits will kill Porter which is why Broner demanded it. Now Porter is highlighting this fact over and over in advance because he knows he will lose.
This is a pointless fight IMHO.

Porter is gonna beat Broner up

[BaDaBiNgVIP]

hope porter hands broner a beat down. but with dropping those 3 extra pounds is really going to affect porter. porter is a stout guy and his only going to lose muscle mass with will affect his endurance. i hope porter with have enough energy to press the fight like he usually does. if maidana can press broner. the faster handed porter can really give broner trouble. good scrap. but i am really looking forward to seing errol spence jr being showcased. the guys an exceptional prospect and really can make some noise.up and coming future champ.

This is all set for Broner to win with weight issues, the promoter is Mayweather promotions who are helping him out to win, Judges should be interesting as well.

If Porter had an issue with the weight he shouldn't have accepted it. Simple. This isn't a title fight or nothing like that. He chose to do this then he needs to shut up and do what he's contracted to do. Not saying he won't be drained, bit if u know what ur getting into, then don't do it. Khan didn't do it. Porter had every right to refuse as well.

The guy who already strips down to make '47 is complaining, who didn't see it coming. I'd actually be surprised if he made weight.
