This was the good fight on an otherwise crappy card. Porter gave a terrific performance.
It has to be asked. What did Paulie get out of signing with Haymon? To be set up for a beating by Porter? Let's be honest, from a styles perspective, Porter is the perfect foil for Paulie's boxer-style. What would be the upside if Paulie won? It's a fight that made no sense to me. If Paulie signed with Haymon for big fights, why fight Porter? I'm probably missing something.
Where does Porter go from here? Thurman? Garcia? Broner? Collazo-Khan winner?
