Terrible thing is you couldn't even make a buck off this predictable fight because you never know what the judges will do. 114-112, 115-111? Broner won 1 round and because Porter got careless.

I agree. I thought broner won round 12 and round 5 and 7 were somewhat close but porter still outworked and outlanded him to win those rounds. It would have been a real stretch to give a.b. Those rounds. I hate how the mentality in boxing today is that boxers should be awarded rounds simply by making the other guy miss alot even though they throw less and land less themselves, it doesn't make any sense at all.

114-112 is exactly how i had it, porter was getting countered most the fight when broner actually threw punches, if broner had let his hands go more he could of easily won 3-4 more rounds and been the winner. It seemed like a sparring/wrestling match up until the 12th. Broner just got outworked but porter is still a very sloppy fighter they should do a rematch.

It was a very close fight. And Broner actually landed the cleaner shots throughout the fight. Porter didn't do anything except rush in and land a some of those punches Manny's fans claimed he landed in slow mo. I gave Porter a couple rounds I favored Broner simply because I was annoyed with AB's tactics. I'm sure that happend with judges, especially the 118-108 score.

Broner realizing his stardom "about billions" dream is quickly shutting down.

Broner was effective when he actually decided to throw punches, Porter's work in this inside was concerning, Broner countered with good uppercuts. I thought Broner won 3 or 4 rounds and had a 10-8 round in the 12th so the judges weren't far off. Props to Porter!
