Adrian Broner vs Shawn Porter set for June 20th

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.

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%

[walrus]

Agreed, dislike Broner but like that he took this fight. I was a bit taken aback at how Brook took Porter, didn't expect such a one way fight. Right after Porters inhalation of Paulie (what happened to the PED allegation Paulie threw out) This could prove to be a barn burner, I think Broner is realizing he actually needs to work to be a great fighter, not just run his mouth.

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.

[Spicoli]

This is the desired result of Haymon buying up 1001 contracts. Double header cards with bigger matches next time out. The catchweight limit is bullshat and is tailor designed to benefit Broner. We all know he..both are pushing Lt. hvy and a deep dish pizza between bouts. Catchweight ffs. Seriously just shut up and fight. This is the literal sink or swim showcase for both who have run a bit sideways and bought into the hype.

Awesome match up. Porter still gets hit with a lot of dumb punches and can be just as sloppy as a James Kirkland. On strength and bullying Broners backfoot and legs this is all Porter. He will not afford Broner the comfort and ultimately get into Broners wheelhouse. Broner showed a good jab last out by he needs to volley and move his feet! Down the middle Porter runs into punches. Get away from that bend back horseshoe stance. Porter will crush that. Guaranteed very busy ref hopefully lets them work.This could be a real inside shoot out at end. I think Porter gets it, he'll manage to eventually trap trade and traumatize Broner one too many times.

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)))

[erics44]

i hope broner wins

i dont think he will likes

[g3org3]

Really looking forward to this fight, I give broner a good shot of beating porter very good evenly matched fight

[Primo Carnera]

i hope broner wins

i dont think he will likes

I'm honestly not on a wind up, just curious, but why do you hope Broner wins? Knowing how you feel about Mayweather, I would've thought you would absolutely hate Broner.

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
