Shawn Porter is a bad man

[Beanflicker]

This man is dangerous, he has great "black man" athleticism where he is super explosive and quick, and he won't stop throwing and landing bombs no matter how close the action is and how bad guys try to tie him up. I love guys like him who throw those clubbing, concussive shots from every angle and in the clinch. Some of those digs to the body looked like 70's George Foreman.

Porter rules. This is the kind of guy I wanna see in there vs Mayweather: a fast, athletic bomber who is strong in the clinch and will dig away to the body and the head and make it ugly.

I know Paulie isn't exactly in the running for greatest WW of all time, but he's a crafty mofo who can take punishment and knows how to move and survive, and he absolutely got his ass stomped. I've never seen anyone do that to Paulie, not even prime Cotto.

You're right about porter being explosive. I don't like the way he was lunging in and I mean he was leaving the ground. Maybe he just knew he had Paulie in real trouble. I like his approach too although I don't like his pops. I don't like any father/trainer that tries to steal some thunder from their guy. Porter has a bright future though.

[Beanflicker]

I love the leaping left hook. I'd say he was a lot more gung ho and carefree given that Paulie can't bust a grape with a punch. I'd hope he wouldn't be so brazen vs a guy like Keith Thurman. Now there's a fight I'd love to see.

Any thoughts on his clown ass pops?

I think Porter is going to be what Broner wants to be. I would love to see him rip Broner apart.

For me, the thing about last night's win was that I can't even contribute some of it to Paulie's age or ring wear. I have a feeling that this would have been the outcome if they have faced each other at any time during malignaggi's career. Based on style and paulies lack of pop to keep Porter honest. That wasn't a fight, it was a mugging. Credit to malignaggi for trying to stand in there, then going out on his shield.

I agree with both of you but Id also like to say this.. I get mixed feelings whenever a young, energetic fighter beats Paulie..

When you are up against feather fisted fighters like Paulie and Cory Spinks, you are able to fight with a big burden off your back.. Just by knowing that you have no incoming punches to worry about, you are able to put total focus on your offense while neglecting defense..

Paulie is one of those unfortunate fighters.. When your hands are super fragile and have literally zero power, you have to box perfectly in every single bout and that's just impossible. Young fighters, infact any fighter with high workrate and power will beat him on any given night if he slips up even a little.

Porter was extra aggressive last night because he clearly knew that Paulie couldnt hurt him. He was downright wreckless at times.. If he fought that way against other guys, ohhhhh man.. But i know he would take a different approach..

SO while I do give Porter some credit for the victory, Im still not totally sold..

Paulie isn't that old in age but dude has taking alot of punches in his career and his style was tailor made for the young fighter..

I wonder what Broner was thinking watching Porter do that to Malinaggi.

Probably making a note to himself to stay the fuck at 140 and go nowhere near Porter.

Porter would kill Broner on the inside.

[fan johnny]

Been watching this kid for a while now. Don't think he is going to be able to stay at welter for too many more fights. He had to come in late and barely made weight for this one behind the towel. I still would love to see him in there with Alvarez.

Great fight. Porter has the athleticism and BALLS to give anyone a hard night.

He'll kill Brook on the inside. He says he can make welter no problem but he had problems at the weekend and he started off at 160. Hopefully he can hang out at 147 for a while.
