OT: Broner vs Porter

[TheChamps990411]

Kind of surprised at the "Porter is one dimensional" hate in here, he effectively out boxed AB last night and his usual pressure style is not a negative overall. Hoping we get Porter/Thurman at this point as it'd be a great test for both and hopefully an even better fight.

Thats problably the worst part. He got out boxed by a guy who isnt known as a good outside fighter. His jab was tagging Broner way to much and his jab at best is rudimentary yet was very effective. Porter was lunging in all night which Broner shouldve been able to take advantage of rather easily but he simply couldnt and his jab was simply non existant.

Agree he lacks the mental makeup to be great. But I still believe the talent is there. Maybe he matures but it doesn't appear so.

I think Broners biggest problem is himself so i find it ironic thats what he calls himself. Broner needs to do 3 things IMMEDIATELY if he wants to save his career.

1. Dedicate himself. This guy walks around at 170lbs and expects to fight at 140 or 147 which is an absolutely horrible idea and a one way ticket to a very short career. Looking at his obese father his genes arent exactly favorable to being able to stay thin without putting in hard work. Stay out of the clubs, stop the liquor,weed and cheap hoes and get a sleeping bag and live at the gym. Stay in shape all year round and keep your walk around weight in the low 150`s

2. Get a new trainer and learn to fight because hes not a built to be a boxer like Floyd. Keep your shoulder roll defense but use it the way james toney did and come out of it throwing hooks and uppercuts while using your jab to keep opponenents back or to work his way in.

3. Stop acting like a complete jack ass!

Again I don't really think any of that is giving enough credit to Porter making him miss badly, as well as his positioning on the outside and when tracking down. Porter is definitely a better ring technician than he's being given credit for here.
