Great fight. Really great fight. Excellent match up. Truly 50/50 fight.
I thought Porter was unlucky to lose to Brook. It was a close fight. But given that the the challenger has to win. I don't think Brook won it hands down. Though I don't think Brook getting the nod was a bad decision.
As to this fight ? I think it's almost certain to go the distance and it could even be such a close decision, that the loser could rightfully claim that they won. I don't see either fighter winning easily.
Porter is similar to Maidana in that he's high pressure coming forward type. Indeed I see Porter as better than Maidana, so Broner really has his work cut out to win this one.
And you know what ? I think he will. There is too much at stake for him to lose. Where will he go ? I think he learnt a lot from the Maidana defeat and see him biting down and going toe to toe with Porter and eeking out a narrow UD.
