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

[BigStomps]

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.

I don't put much weight into them piece of shet belts either but it's easy to say dump the belt and pay the fine... Wether we agree or not unless a fighter is a superstar like Canelo or Mayweather a fighter stands to make more money in title fights than he would in non-title fights... That's just reality.
So I can understand why the belts mean so much to fighter's and why they kill themselves trying to make weight...

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.

Depends on how much of his weight was shed by the haircut.

Chopping your hair off to make weight is the easiest and safest way to make weight so not a bad strategy if you have excess hair to do it with

He, and possibly more important, his father, have waited a long time to call themselves World Champs. Skill wise, he’s the low hanging fruit in the WW division. I think they’d do just about anything to keep hold of that strap.

Shawn Porter is going to be wearing a toupee for a few months until his hair grows back lol

"I don't know what happened (the first time)," Porter (29-2-1, 17KOs) said of initially missing weight. "I think I just got started late on the process (of cutting weight during fight week)."

You know what happened you didn't train properly!!

Lmao! Welcome to the club of shaved heads bro! That's ok though man. Women like it! Lol

The hair did it?

Nope, he was still 147.2. Kenny told him to exhale all his oxygen out and somehow that got him to 146.8. Some Fookery going if you ask me

[Removed Now]

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

Well he gets money win or lose
