This is going to be Broner/Maidana all over again. Can see Porter mauling Broner, not giving him a chance to breathe. Think fighters like Maidana and Porter are all wrong for Broner.
Broner is not good vs pressure fighters that come forward and make him work. Broner likes to fight slow and pick his shots with plenty of time and not be rushed. The weight may effect porter though and he may struggle a bit late on but he took the fight at 144. Porter doesnt punch like maidana but will put the pressure on broner just like maidana did Good fight and ud for porter but he could get robbed
I agree with the others about the weight, Porter will struggle with 144lbs, I would really fancy him to beat Broner at 147 but at the catchweight I don't know. I can't understand why Porter would agree to this.
Porter will have to be pileing in the PEDS to make 144lb catch ffs he was killing himself to make 147 , sure in his amature days he fought around 160-165lbs
Does anybody think this might play out similar to Brook-Porter with Porter throwing more shots but Broner picking him off and landing the better quality? I'm picking AB close on points.
This is how I see it going but I don't think it will be close. I think AB will totally school Porter and barely get hit the entire fight. There will be a lot of clinching and it won't be pretty, but I'm expecting a masterclass from Broner.
really a master class from Broner? He's a weight bully with fast hands. He cant fight going backwards or transition well and Poter is sure as hell going to try and push him back. IF Porter handless one 144 OK he wins. To much physicality aggression and work rate. He would also rip Khan a new one 'cause cant fight inside. However if Broner was to sneak a decision Khan would hammer him into next week. More height and reach and speed. Would be a good test for Khan stylistically.
Two fighters that hale from Ohio-so where does Haymon place this fight-Vegas!WTF am I missing here?:huh
I agree I do not see where this confidence in Broner is coming from, he'll have his moments but I think Porters style causes Broner problems. I do not think Porter is going to stand off, try to box and let Broner pose and strut.
The weight is the only doubt for me, if Porter can make weight and not kill himself then he should be able to bully Broner like Maidana did. I think that fight proved that Broner is the boxing embodiment of The Emperor's New Clothes.
