    I heard Porter can't weigh more than 154 on fight night. Didn't he start off his career as a middleweight?

    Yeah he did but Broner can put on the weight too. He is big boned like his father and I saw a picture of him and I know he was around 170. It should be a good fight and if Broner can keep the bums rush off himself then I am leaning for a win for him.

    Think porter will struggle in the later rounds with the weight being a issue.

    Broner has fought at 147 before and rehydrates a lot himself. Is he really so fearful of Porter.

    Broner fought once at WW, fought most of his career at 137, can't blame him.
