    I must be honest I have not seen a lot of this kid Porter but was impressed how he made Alexander fight his fight. Usually Alexander would have the skill to offset the aggressive style of his opponent so im not too sure what happened last night, did DA have a bad night, is Porter the truth or a mix of both.

    The division has lots of good match ups and if Porter is as goods as we witnessed last night that's another name to add.

    I think a good fight for him at this stage would be against Paulie Malignaggi, both fought on the same card so Porter has been introduced to the Barkleys and wider fan base.

    My question is this, is Porter realy as good as he looked.

    Hes eventually gonna walk into a punch he cant take but until then he could beat a few people

    He would bully Malignaggi not sure I wanna see that

    He is a high risk low reward fighter, that being said I am glad he won :happy Congratulations to him. I think he has gone as high as he can go he was a former sparrinng partner of Manny Pacquiao and it looks like Porter picked up alot from Pacquiao. I would lIke to see him fight Matthyse.

    Not far. He didn't fight very smart and Devon is fast, but dumb. A decent fighter with power could have had him in a lot of trouble in that fight. He lead witb his chin too much.

    Not far. He's just not that good. A poor man's version of Berto. Once he faces anyone with decent boxing skills, he will lose. I remember he got an absolute gift a few years ago when he looked horrible.
