Thread: Broner vs porter who you picking ?

No seen much talk off this fight. I can't wait for it think this fights going to be a cracker. I'm slightly leaning towards porter although I have changed my mind a few times back and forth. Who's everyone picking ?

I thought Porter would be too strong for him at first but the catchweight has to be a massive worry. Not only is a former middle/light middle being forced to weigh in at 145 but he's not allowed to weigh above 155 on the night.

If Porter isn't dead he will walk through him.

Broner.

Yeah this. Stupid fight for Porter to make. He's gonna be a corpse.

porter looked a bit chubby at welter tho

i actually quite like both these fighters in terms of in the ring, i know broners a bit of a bellend but i like the way he fights

as i do porter, i always like someone who just wants a massive scrap

Neither fighter is even remotely close to as good as they were hyped to be at one time. That said both are good fighters with exciting styles. Porter lacks head movement and punch recognition so the question is can he walk through Broner. If Broner can turn it into a boxing match he should win easily. If Porter can turn it into a fight Broner will probably slow and lose on points.

Adrien Broner is in for the beating of his life.

The catch weight stuff is a pain in the ass but I think Porter will deal with it.

Does anyone know what porter usually weights on fight night ?

See I think Broner gets underrated because he's one of the biggest dickheads in the sport, but he is skilled and can box well. Porter is a gatekeeper in my eyes and is just gunna walk into Broner's shots. I think Al will be hoping and praying Broner wins as his awful personality is an easier ticket seller so the close rounds will be going AB's way.

I agree 100% with that but I think stylistically this is an awful match up for him. Porter is a pitbull and if Broner stands in front of him and squares up like he tends to do with everyone, he's going to get eaten alive IMO.

I've grown to enjoy watching Broner in fights. Had this fight been at 147, however, I would pick Porter, but the catch weight makes me less sure. Even with the catch weight though, it's one of the better PBC fights that has been made. Porter needs the win to stay relevant. Same for Broner.

A focused Broner is gonna pick Porter apart in the 2nd half of the fight. After the 6th, Porter is going to turn into a one-dimensional brawler in desperation.

At first, this fight looked fairly even on paper, but Broner has some glaring advantages, especially if you put personal biases aside.

Broner seems like a complete tool, but he showed some heart in the Maidana beatdown. I think he's a lot tougher than some people think. I think Porter may get to him, though. Either way it should be fairly interesting to watch.

Broner is tough as nails, but Porters gonna box his body out of breath its more than he can handle buddy

Porter got out boxed by Brook I don't see why a focused Adrian Broner wouldn't be able too. It depends which version of the guy shows up. If the Broner that fought Maidana shows up Porter beats him. But I'd the Broner that easily out boxed Molina shows up Broner picks him apart. Porter needs to fight like he did in the Alexander fight. I think it's a 50/50 fight. But I'll go with Broner.
