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

[John Locke]

I don't know how Mbenge was Top 25, when he only had 15 fights before fighting Formella? Regardless, neither have fought any real competition, but 25W, 23 KOs is very impressive for a 23 yr. old! I'm sure Ennis would whoop Formella easily!

Well he stopped Diego Chaves who's a decent journeyman now, better than anything Ennis has done.

Level of competition matters, 25-0 would be a good record if he had fought even a few decent journeyman, but he hasn't, he's been fighting LITERAL part-time fighters.

I would also pick Ennis to beat Formella, but that's not the point. Ennis' handlers need to put some decent money on the table for people to fight him, until then he's just an unproven prospect who brings nothing to the table.

I'm not happy with Cameron Dunkin! He needs to partner with Haymon, Arum, or Hearn, to make things happen for Boots! No way Formella should have Porter, or Ramos should have Ugas, or Dulorme should have Jamal James, and Boots has "TBA"!!!

Yes, Formella is solid fringe contender at 147. But I believe Porter wins.

[BoloShot]

I know Formella is no proven cream of the crop fighter but he's a legit contender and he's very scrappy in there much like Porter. Really good matchup stylewise, expect a lot of wild exchanges.

Formella is going to get stopped early.

Depends. Does Porter try to box like he did Ugas? 'Man Bun' has a chance to upset.

Porter can weather the storm if need be. Granados was your typical inside brawler. Them types like it in close quarters, that why Shawn imo lost lots of power going 12. Then you’ve got mid range guys like Ugas, Garcia, Thurman... less power exertion than a close quarter brawl. Inside takes a lot of steam out of guys.

Anyways I’m just saying Formella isn’t as rugid as Granados. I’ve always said Swift is the heaviest handed 147 because he plants and loads up while maintaining really good balance, Shawn took those, Granados couldn’t on the top (against Swift).

Also Ugas is levels above this Formella kat. It’s a good stay busy fight for Shawn, but I think Kenny wants Shawn to finish early imho.

Ugas is not levels above "Man Bun" Formella. Shawn let that fight get way too close by trying to box like Floyd. We didn't the full linebacker out of him.

The Porter that faced Spence would have UD'd Ugas 9-3.

I don’t think your hearing me... and Ugas would stop Nutella too.

Ugas struggles with 'Man Bun'. Too scrappy, like fighting a cross between Chino and Ruslan.

The only one who has easy work with 'Man Bun' is Spence or Keef. Precision strikers who don't lose their cool.
