    Porter could be in for a long night against Roberto Garcia. I think he should of picked another opponent to make a comeback with. What ya think ?

    Well he wont need to worry about searching for Garcia in the ring, Garcia's gonna come forward and throw. Very risky and low reward fight for Porter

    If Porter fights the way he usually does we're in for a treat cuz Garcia only knows one way to fight. He brings the heat all night

    Porter can make it an easy fight if he fights intelligently, the hand and foot speed difference between the two is so massive that Porter's defensive liabilities don't matter, he can get his punches off and get out before Garcia can answer. However, if he tries to match Garcia aggression for aggression, he'll probably still win, but Garcia has a decent shot at the upset.

    Porter likes to bang and might want to test himself at 1st to see if he can out muscle Garcia but so far I haven't seen anyone want to trade with Garcia not even Margarito and that's saying something !

    Porter isn't gonna do that though, he likes overpowering on the inside, pushing, throwing, out muscling. He's perfectly happy with that type of fight. He can win, but he's gonna put a lot of miles on his odometer in this one.

    Such a physical matchup. Both big, strong welterweights. Garcia has a chance to pull the upset if Porter tries to trade with him.

    Not seen this guy but Porter is strong felt he nicked it vs. Brook. Not seen this Garcia but based on his record have to side with Porter based on proven quality. See on the night.

    he can be outboxed, but he's a guy that you don't wanna just throw punches with. physically big, strong, solid chin. He's really a JMW that dropped back down to WW. They matchup well.

    I think Porter does well but Garcia is physically strong and should be harder to bully than most guys out there.

    Porter struggled at times with Diaz aggressive style and Garcia is alot bigger and stronger than Diaz
