    So? He also has a dynamite jab and power to go with the hand speed, my point was any match up between Pauli M and Porter should not sway people into thinking that's how a Brook fight goes. Believe what you like but I'll be taking Brook at the bookies if the odds are over 2-1 that's for sure.

    Porter reminds me of Pryor, Mayweather will avoid him

    Brook would get stopped quicker hes not as awkward and his chin is nowhere near as good

    This is true. But, I can't lie, I still like Marco Huck fights. :lol:

    With his last few fights, Porter's added himself to that list of (somewhat) guilty pleasures.

    Said it before, Porter v Khan - dream match-up in terms of styles. That would be a brilliant fight.

    Very well done to him, he absolutely maximises his abilities and takes full advantage of his strength advantage.

    Rios, yes, almost everybody in the world title mix in any division has more skill than Bam-Bam.

    Alvarado? WTF are you talking about? Alvarado is a skilled boxer-puncher with a weakness for getting dragged into brawls.

    Porter literally can not box. A lick.

    He is a big welterweight and is fast and strong.

    He possesses zero fundamental technique.

    paulie should go ahead and suit-up and commentate for the main event now. LOL. he's probably my favorite commentator in the sport, i'm glad his speech is fine after eating those headshots. hope he retires now.

    Malignaggi himself wasn't a special fighter. Porter is probably better.

    I disagree and agree. He has a good jab. I mean, he outjabbed Paulie. Unrefined style, but against Alexander and Paulie that was the type of style to use.

    I think Thurman is better overall, but Porter is awkward, fast, and that kind of swarming might keep Keith from landing hard. I like Keith better, but it's a very tough matchup and we know Keith can get caught.

    A good jab is a boxing skill, and Porter has that, IB. Plus he gauges distance well. He's raw, but there's a lot of talent there, and there is indeed method to his madness.

    And as for Paulie, at the very least we'll still see him on Showtime. Easily my favourite commentator. Calls fights brilliantly. Feel sorry for him, but that's just how it goes, unfortunately.
