Adrian Broner vs Shawn Porter set for June 20th

[p4pking]

Heard this earlier, but I'd be surprised if it happened myself. Broner was saying Porter doesn't have the name or doesn't sell enough In other words, he knows its a really tough fight that could all but end his chances of being a main attraction. Think it would be a great fight if it did happen though, not sure who I'd pick.

id bet on porter

[Primo Carnera]

This is a good fight if it happens, and I'm not even going to moan about the Catchweight , because it's justified. I do think that Porter could fall into Broner's traps, but Porter should have more power. I think Broner may just outpoint him, but it's a flip of a coin really.
I have been a bit sceptical about Al Haymon having so many fighters under him and their inactivity, but the match ups we've seen so far on this PBC thing have been pretty good. here's hoping.

[Fenster]

Good matchup. Been far to long since we last saw Broner getting his face smashed in

[SlimTrae]

Fighters who have a fan base don't care if the other guy doesn't.

It's booked Broner-Porter Booked For June 20

I think it's a bad mistake for Broner not to stay at 140 as there's loads of good fighters he could shine against, build a name and make some cash but maybe he just can't make weight down there anymore.

He's the better boxer out of the two but he'll probably get a Maidana flashback.

Great, this should be a nice fight. As much as Broner is a turd, you can't really knock who he fights, or how for that matter. Says the fight is at 145, but neither can weigh more than 155 the day of though I don't mind a catchweight in general, but having two is a bit much? Making weight is making weight, don't think it should matter how much a guy rehydrates and this might hurt Porter a little bit, when clearly everyone wants to see him at 100%

Porter has more to lose. If he loses again, it's back to ESPN. Broner will still will be in the spotlight regardless of the outcome.

I was just thinking the same thing. If broner can outbox him, porter will have lost all of his momentum and will lose his spot as a top contender. If broner loses, he can always go down in weight.

I think there is far too much drama in boxing fans. "Haymon will buy the scores...." GBPs has been involved in many many many terrible score cards, TR too. To act like it is just Haymon....psshh

And "this is a sink or swim for both", 2 years ago the question was should Khan retire. People have to see that all this stuff is far more dramatic than reality. Boxers lose. If they have a good fight both will be brought back against top guys. If they stink out the joint the loser may need to do a rebuild(if it is Porter, if AB loses he has options still). Unless Spicoli only meant that the loser clearly isn't going to be staying at the elite level, that I agree. As is I think eithers spot is questionable. Broner because of lack of devotion, Porter because of physical limitations.

Should be a good fight)))

In reality Khan is one crash test dummy impersonation away from being a trivia question...and he fights Algieri last seen rolling around on the floor like a 5 yr old refusing to go to bed. Who honestly cares about that ? Porter and Broner are not elite, that is the jist of this match. Been established as both have been rebuilding after frankly being schooled...of course you need to rebuild Ron Two flawed but willing skilled guys under same promotion but I don't agree with tomorrow is guaranteed regardless of outcome. Guys who believe and start thinking that are called journeymen. Broner has wasted a lot of time and non effort with weight ballooning and ignoring his craft..and believing he was actually #5 p4p He's also still a sucker for rights when he pulls out. This is a fantastic scrap, promotion wins either way but winning means everything. Loser co mains the next Berto card

Anyone else see this as broner taking the opportunity to try and emulate floyd's performance against manny? The issue I see here for Porter is that Porter likes to get hook happy and broner will try to pick at him from the outside with the jab and pivot away and when Porter gets inside, Broner will shell up and counter from inside and then try to tie him up. Porter may find him but i think his height will work against him as broner leans back and out of reach.
If porter takes the body first the heady will fall. Lets just hope he learned something from his loss to brook and picked up some head movement. And uses his strength to rag doll Broner around the ring if he starts clinching and holding.

Broner will win this. I don't rate Shawn Porter at all. The dude is bang average. Broner has qualities but his Floyd impersonation/rising far too quickly through the weights without learning his craft has hurt him big time. I say Broner on points.

Also this is an Al Haymon fight as part of PBC so it'll likely be fixed. Porter won't make Al any money, Broner is a dick and unfortunately, it sells so my thinking is that if AB is in trouble, then those scorecards will be bought n paid for.
