    I'm picking AB - Porter will make too many mistakes coming in and AB inside game is strong :) Good fight

    Porter looking very good/healthy/sharp in training....weight dont seem an issue at all as i predicted ;-)

    While it has the potential to be a decent s****, it's pathetic that Porter a natural Jr.MW has to drain to 144...

    Re****ed... what does winning at 144 do for Porter? What's the point in Porter coming even lower in weight? Is he desperate? Likely.

    Porter will win 8-4 and lose a MD/SD.
    Forum to go nuts.

    he is not a natural 154lber!!! he is very short and was a bit on the chunky side for me even at WW and was IMO taking 'vitamin s'...the reduction in weight may even help him,he looks good in sparring ..

    Kell Brook is known for being a big WW and Porter is much shorter,there is no need for him to weigh in at 154...

    this whole Porter will be weight drained has just snowballed outta control..

    How tall was the reigning heavyweight champion in 1988? As tall as a WW?

    Porter is simply too strong and too active for Broner.

    I want Broner to win so maidana has the motivation to fight and batter Broner again, as it stands he has no motivation to fight him again but if he beats Porter he will get some hype back.

    Broner wins this on points, Porter will smother his own punches in close, broner will land the cleaner, more attractive looking punches and will win on points vs a tired, weight drained Porter.

    I think broner may win this on points too, if Diaz can get a draw I think broner can do better.

    The catchweight suits him more than it suits porter, with the rehydration clause, rumours of bigger gloves etc it seems broner has the A side treatment

    Ref will be crucial here, in the brook fight both could and arguably should have had points deducted for clinching, or headbutting, I can see the ref deducting points from porter since everything else seems to be in broners favour
