What happened to Porter

Problem I have is the inactive nature of all these guys,could be in a showcase fight in the meantime and stay relevant for us watching,so hard to get behind those who only fight once a year.

 

You have to understand that some fights do not get made as a fault of neither boxer, no matter how much they might want it.

It sounds like you'll jump off and on the support bandwagons on a whim. However, this is a great way to always ONLY cheer for and be fans of champions I suppose.

 

Except boxing say things that contradict what they may have said before ALL the time. Which is the #1 reason posters shouldn't put so much faith in to what a promoter/manager/boxer said.

I mean, you have to realize that calling out, or 'call outs', don't actually mean much really. they look cool, sound cool, and make a few fans warm between the legs.

Actions speak louder than words (Or the lack of). Some fighters are better speakers than others. More comfortable. Porter isn't a big talker. He just fights.

 

Fair enough

 

I understand why you might see it that way. At the same time, I have a hard time remembering Porter ever landing effective punches on a quality opponent. Although he beat Alexander and Pauline convincingly, I think they lacked the guts to hang with his rough and tumble, mauling style. Unfortunately for Porter, I think this will be his undoing against Danny Garcia.

Herrera has already proven that Swift can be outboxed. Meanwhile, Peterson proved Danny’s easy to hit. However, Peterson stayed defensively responsible while landing his shots. I just don’t think Porter has the skills or discipline to do the same.

I see Porter suffering a knockdown in the early to mid rounds. From there he responds one of two ways.

1. Fight tentatively, like Matthysse did, and lose a clear decision.

2. Up the aggression and lose by spectacular T/KO.

Styles make fights and I think Shawn Porter is tailor made for Garcia.

Either way, I look forward to the fight and I am really looking forward to the post-fight interviews. I always like to see how fighters react to a serving of humble pie.

 

Porter is too strong he is going to impose his will

 

What's irrelevant about a Thurman fight? If he manages to get by danny which I highly doubt, then a Thurman fight would become a unification. Many people felt porter should have been given the nod, (I had it 7-5 Thurman) but it was a close fight and I don't think anyone will have any issues if they were to fight again.
