Comments Thread For: Formella on Facing Shawn Porter: I'm Not Coming There To Lose

[tokon]

Porter is due for a easy fight he has fought the top guys in the division back to back to back to back. It should be an easy night for him.

If any of the top guys @ 147 were due an "easier" ( not necessarily"easy") fight, it's Porter.

I agree! He could use a soft touch right about now.

"Man Bun" Formella is about to show up against Showtime.

Although:

"He won't have to defend his title on August 22..."

why the hell not?

I did look for something positive that this will be a competitive fight. It’s a perfect fight for Shawn to get back into rhythm against a guy that has hardly any punching power and used to fighting at home. Only 10 stops in 22 fights and hasn’t stopped anyone in 2 years. Last stoppage was September 2018.

Normally, this guy tries to rack up points in the middle of exchanges to win a decision like he did in his last fight starting in the middle rounds towards the end, but he can’t do that with Shawn. He can’t exchange with someone like Shawn. I am not sure what Shawn’s corner will plan but he can literally pressure and walk through this guy with no fear of getting stopped like he did against Paulie.

Mr. Porter, if you were going to fight a "no-name," why couldn't you have chosen Jaron "Boots" Ennis? Cornball azz...

He was too high risk. I doubt if he gets more than $350,000 for this fight.

Then it should be a very exciting and crowd pleasing fight. This way we can see what he got. Who knows? This just may be the very cherrypick that's goes left.

I know he is, I think he beats Porter easier than Spence! Not really mad at Porter, just wish someone would give this kid a chance to show what he's got! He's 25-0 w/ 23 KOs, and he can't a B-level fighter in the ring?

He needs to become a mandatory like everyone else.

I got a proposition for you. Why don't Vergil Ortiz and Jaron Ennis get it on then since they are both prospects and fringe contenders?
