Broner Vs. Porter

First topic message reminder :

Can't remember what date but this is signed and sealed, how much has Broner learned is the real question? Can he handle another mini bull charging at him with maybe less power than Maidana but more speed.

Love this fight, could end up being Maidana V2 for Adrien. #ThankAlHaymen

It's boxing's darwinism.

When was the last time a fight was cancelled on the day (not due to injury), any examples post 2000 welcome.......

I've got no qualms as its a non-title fight and as you said, Porter doesn't have to take it.

But Broner is no saint in the weight department coming in 3 pound over in the Escobado fight and they still fought. Pot........kettle.......black.

I must have missed the bit where I condoned Broner coming in over !!

I'd rather they fought at 147.......

Is Porter a name ??..........If Broner say's NO...Will Porter be shutout ??

Easier to call the shots when you're marketable.........

Broner's marketable......??

He wants to be. The networks wanted him to be. But he was a failed experiment in trying to be Floyd.

Interest in him piqued when Maidana was slapping him all over the ring.

You're an expert on the American fight market....

Are you?

How long since you've been a US resident?? Not far different from my entire lifetime I expect.

The Paulie M fight showed the difference between someone truly marketable and a pretender.

You made the remark that interest had piqued in him not me.....

I never said I knew what my friends were thinking..

This would be a really interesting fight, if there were no stupid weight stipulations, makes the fight pretty much pointless for Broner.

If he wins, people say Porter is drained, if he loses, then he lost to a fighter who was being severely handicapped. I sure as hell won't give him any credit.

May take him a while to get over you not giving him any credit but time does heal....

Mate...Sport is all about winning. I hate the way Mourinho has his teams play soccer, cheating by diving all game and haranguing officials...

But you think he cares ??.

yeah but even so Truss I can see where many are coming from in regards to the weight thing, I just cannot believe Porter signed with the rehydration clause

No its not its the 1st July....

Plenty of places reporting that the rehydration limit for this fight has been scrapped by Broners team. Wouldn't surprise me if he misses the weight.

It seems Chunkmaster B has made weight: 143.5 to Porter's 144. Broner very animated at the weigh in getting in Porter's face. He's either really confident or he's bricking it.

Porter UD with Broner down twice in thefight.

Apparently it was Haymon who scrapped the rehydration limit after all.

This is the best news I have heard all day, without the rehydration clause, Porter is going to whoop his backside, Porter's style is all wrong for Broner.

Karama is slapping him hard in the face

Shawn Porter's nostrils, they've got a life of their own. Check them out:

Really good fight this one I think, very hard to call, proper 50/50. Kind of leaning towards Porter the last few weeks, but then Broner could go out there and school him. Can't call it.

I don't think Broner can play the matador role that brook was able to against porter. And brook porter was a close fight. I think Broner was betting everything on porter being weak at the weight. I think porter could steam roll him. Delighted the rehydration clause is removed.

50/50 fight for me. think Broner is going to suprise a few. I did think Porter but I am now leaning slightly to Broner.

There seems to be money going in late on Broner. He has moved from the underdog to the favourite with many bookies.

I can't make my mind up with Broner, there are people whose opinion I respect enormously who think he is special, but I personally don't see what all the fuss is about too often. Suspect the kid has talent but lacks dedication as the photos when he is out of camp seem to suggest. As others have said this is a tough fight to call. Broner looked flustered when Maidana put it on him and rough housed him, not sure Porter is quite an unorthodox and wild as MM, but he can fight at a decent pace. Suspect Broner will just about do enough to get the win but not particularly certain.

Did they elaborate on their definition of special for you rowley? He's a special w*nker. Or have you suddenly developed a disturbing 'enormous respect' for truss?

Broner has talent but no defence to speak of, that I've noticed, and lacks work rate. I honestly think he's made for porter. I was surprised broner took the fight so they and others must see something I haven't. Unless that something was taking porter below his weight comfort zone and draining him.

As you can gather, it's an interesting fight but I'm going for porter.

Just witnessed the weigh in.....Broner very agitated porter just smiling and chilling.... Held his hand out for Broner to shake and Broner just walked off and declined and got a chorus of booos

The guys is a grade A Tinkywinky.

Hope Porter smashes his stupid fat head off his shoulders later on.

Come on Shaun!!

Broner's problem is he's climbed up in weight too fast.........He isn't a welter.

I think he's gifted but without a shot to keep off somebody..........twelve rounds is a long time to confuse a guy...

I tend to forgive him a little for Maidana...........Who I'm pretty sceptical of.

But he should have beaten stinker Paulie more convincingly..

Sure it'll be close, but cant see broner hurting porter not can i see him landing enough to get a points decision unless its a controverisla one

He needs to box but looking at the maidana, taylor, malignaggi, rees fights he gets hit far too much amd porter is big and strong enough to do that for 12 rounds. Broner has faster hands then brook but inferior defence and natural strength to tie him up

Anyone up watching....

First round for Porter..shading it for me.

Porter 2 up...Broner couple of counters but being pushed back constantly. The holding is horrendous...Klitschko could even learn from him..twice he has hit on the break also.

3 zip porter. Broner looks horrendous. Just not as good as some seem intent on him being; certainly can't fight above 140. Ref is shocking mind...when you think Khan gets stick for the way he pushes down..has nothing on this so far.

4-0. Seems I'm on my own tonight lol! Porter winning ugly and managing to do it despite the ref not helping him in any shape or form. Broner should be on a final warning for holding at the very least by now..twice in round 4 almost had him in headlock!

Better round from Broner...the cleaner work by him, but whether it was enough not sure. Seems intent on posing for large parts. 4-1 Porter

Yeah I'm watching Owen, got porter up fair few now, only gave broner one round so far, not sure how he expects to win rounds landing max 2/3 punches a round

Broner has all the negatives of mayweather + w.klitschko, but none of the positives

Have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed that as much as the maidana fight and as much as Chavez vs Martinez.

Watching broner fanny around and get dragged everywhere like a rag doll....out punched and outfought by a drained fighter was just brilliant.

Especially considering that fat idiot combing his hair prior to the bell etc.

Hopefully he retires now.

He got lucky a against Malignaggi as well.

Bye broner, nothing but an over rated hype job

God the guy is a class A Kumquat! Came to fight?...Good fight?....

Personality of the classless side of Mayweather...Grabbing like Wladamir...Delusions greater than Audley...

I hope he continues just so he eventually gets a good pasting (nothing which seriously affects his health) but a good hiding none the less.

Amen to that Owen!

Going to watch one more round and go sleep. Pointless pointless fight this one

Really dont get the fuss with broner

Broner exposed again....

Without a huge size advantage over his opponent (despite the catchweight Broner looked bigger) he isn't anything special. Needs to go back to the drawing board, and re-evaluate his career, he really looks and acts like a clown.

Well done Shuan

Broner will becer be that big in boxing he lacks dedication the way he puts weight on between fights puts rick hatton in the shade

I think it's now fairly obvious that Brook has done more than Khan at welterweight.


Brook /Thurman / Porter throw in Bradley throw in Matthysse from light ww would all be a reasonable choice of opponent for Floyd's next opponent.


Not Garcia or Khan who are trying to sneak their way in the back door to a fight with Floyd.

I still don't see how Thurman or Porter have done more to deserve a fight with Mayweather than Khan whereas with Brook he has the better win at Welterweight but not by such a way it's unreasonable for Khan to be ahead in the queue.

Brook's work at ww trumps everything Khan has done at lww which shouldn't take too much explaining even for someone like you Hammersmith.

I did say a few months back Thurman vs Porter to get Floyd but then Brook entered the picture. A face off between any two of these should guarantee Floyd imo.

Khan needs to beat any of the above three imo before he's worthy.

Who exactly have Thurman or Porter beaten to be deemed worthy themselves?

It seems that Khan has to beat him or him whereas those he has to beat don't have to do anything, they're higher up the pecking order purely because they're not Amir Khan. We shouldn't forget that it wasn't long ago that Porter lost to Brook which pretty much ended any hopes he had of facing Mayweather whilst Khan has now won five on the bounce against good if not spectacular opposition.

I'm the biggest Brook fan on here, as a talent he's head and shoulders above Thurman or Porter but I do have to question how a single win over Porter trumps everything Khan has done at both 140lbs and 147lbs.
