Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Porter-Malignaggi Set, Turns 4/19 into Tripleheader - Boxing News
Hopkins-shumenov is a shit fight, the usual cherrypick by hopkins but at least we get to see this one.. plus quillin-konecy its a triple header!
See, even gbp knows the main event is so pathetic they just had to make it a triple header..
Porter-Malignaggi Set, Turns 4/19 into Tripleheader - Boxing News
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
I don't think it's a shit main event, Shumenov will certainly come to fight, he's pretty good and it's a legit unification. It's probably the best fight at 175 not involving Stevenson or Kovalev.
I guess Porter and Malignaggi knew this was likely? Hope so, given it's just over a month away now, that should be a good fight to.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Hopkins v. Shumenov isn't bad and Porter-Paulie isn't bad. Quillin-Konecy is crap. All in all, decent little card. I'm surprised Paulie took this fight. If he loses, it's a bad loss. I guess if he wins he has as belt.

I dont see paulie winning at all... u need punching power to tame the wild attacks of porter but he has nothing..
Porter-Brooks is the perfect matchup.. eddie Hearn made it clear that Porter is in their sights..
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Maybe he just meant "a Porter", perhaps the last guy who carried Brook's suitcase on vacation? That seems to be more the kind of fight Brook is interested in.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Kell Brooks needs to get his shot. OK he wasted it against Devon but this stalling is getting ridiculous. Brooks should sue IBF's ass.

Why should Brook sue IBF? IBF should have sued brooks ass for wasting their time, if anything.
It's all brook's fault ..
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
This is a good card. All very good quality matches.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Look forward to it. Hopkins and Shumenov is respectable and not sure what you could ask for but a title unification. Paulie v Porter is interesting. Not huge on Paulie but he is on a solid run and Porter isn't exactly hard to miss and is overly wreckless I think. Paulie may not pack bricks but accuracy and ring guile still matter.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Yeah I like the card ;D If Porter displays anything close to the form he showed against Alexander then it's an easy win for him :cool:

Brooks has been waiting 100 years to get his shot, he has fought decent fighters in between and he deserves the shot next.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
I knew when Scahefer said Porter-Khan wouldn't happen because Haymon had someone else in mind for Porter that he'd be fighting Paulie. I hope Paulie wins this because the guy tells it like it is and his commentary proves he knows the game well. I'd be happy if he got one last run at the money, not many would be able to make the most of limited power like he has.

Hes been given plenty of shots and keeps turning them down. THe fighters he has been beating does not give him much of a right for a title shot. You should have to beat a genuine top 20 fighter to get a title shot which Kell hasnt done.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
Does Brook make decent money fighting at home? That's the only way I can understand what he's doing career wise, he has been treading water for years now despite having a lot of talent and skills. Aside from the first Carson Jones(who is actually pretty good) fight, has he struggled seriously against anyone he's fought? Don't understand the hold up either way, he'd have a great chance to beat just about anyone aside from Floyd or Manny, and makes no effort to pursue the fights.

He gets paid ok. Also has a decent sponsorship deal with betfair. I just get the feeling that hes waiting for a weak beltholder to come along. He didnt fancy his chances v Alexander so avoided him until something he thinks is easier comes along. The winner of Porter v Paulie is probably that.

That is being too sceptical, no one would risk that, he clearly had an injury. Brooks would have beaten Devon any way. What was there to be afraid of?

I agree with you. I think he would have beaten Alexander. Just find it strange that an athlete in peak condition would pull out injured for his 2 chances at a world title. Perhaps it was more the fear of having to go to the states for the fight and felt he wouldnt get a fair decision.

I still put it down to unfortunate injuries nothing more.

Porter is the big fight Haymon promised Paulie for taking the Judah fight. I hope he can make the the most of the opportunity.
As I was reading this thread I was thinking about that moment when Paulie mentioned something about that awhile ago. I wonder what kind of money he will get for this fight.
Re: Porter-Malignaggi added to Hops undercard.. winner must face Brooks says IBF
I can't imagine he'd make more than he did against Zab in Brooklyn:confused: Nobody knows who Porter is yet, it must be the title Paulie is after/was promised. If he wins he'll certainly have the chance to make a couple more good paydays defending it, I think Porter probably beats him myself but it's a good one.
