Comments Thread For: Porter Sheds Weight - and Braids - To Keep Ugas Fight In Play

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Two hours and an impromptu haircut later, Shawn Porter remains the defending World Boxing Council welterweight title. Whether that remains true by the end of Saturday's showdown with Yordenis Ugas remains another matter altogether. The two-time welterweight titlist initially weighed 148.8 pounds ahead of his mandatory title defense, but managed to get down to 146.8 on his second try in order to avoid losing his belt at the scale.

Fight can become pretty competitive down the stretch after this difficult cut.

Porter must be devastated probably going to try to glue it back

Seems a little extreme to me. I usually say dump the belt, pay the fine, and keep it moving. But Porter has an awful style that’s tough to look good against. And even tougher to watch. So his little paper trinket is really the only thing that keeps him semi-relevant. So I kinda understand.

You sound like you're really feminine about your hair.

I don’t have hair for one. Two, there’s nothing feminine about me. Three, I’ve been following this sport a long time. And it’s ****** to kill yourself to make weight.

Kenny is so lame. He was celebrating like they just won the fight. Hope Ugas wins

The Spence or Thurman rematch don't happen without the belt. He is too tough of a fight to look good in as you say.
