    Good to see him training hard, plenty of exciting fights out there for him. Porter-Maidana/Porter-Thurman needs to be made asap

    This isn't the Karate Kid.

    The man cannot throw a straight punch with or without blind fold.

    That is just so gimmicky and dumb. You aren't going to be fighting blindfolded, it serves no purpose. It certainly didn't help him at all when Brook took him to school.

    That eyes closed punching thing is what caused him to get his shyt pushed in by Brooks jabs and straights, this teaches bad habits....

    Porter's a good fighter. I'm sure he'll rebound just fine. Nothing wrong with losing to Brook considering the style and size match up.

    It's to help his awareness, I'm assuming.

    Awareness for what? The punch you don't see coming?

    The only awareness a fighter needs to practice is distance and positioning. Everything else comes into play from that point. Regular pad work helps that as well as muscle memory.
