WALEOVECHKIN Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Broner is heavier as of yesterday, rumors of in the mid-150s. Porter is apparently already down to 147 so he should make 144 easily. If there was no rehydration clause then I think Porter wins. Now I am not sure. Spence v Thurman on a Mayweather undercard would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexx1240 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 (edited) These 2 have been going at it since this fight was announced. Broner been going on and on about how Kenny Porter spends and dictates all of Shawn's money. I want to believe they're trying to hype the fight but they continually have to be separated so idk https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=dsWAhWcVx74 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OlqtCmd3lRc Edited June 19, 2015 by Rexx1240 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I have a question. Why do these guys care so much about who's spending who's money? Why is it any of their business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexx1240 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Doubt he really cares, just a convenient card to pull. From what I hear, Broner isn't really exaggerating tho. Kenny treats Shawn like he's 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Robert Garcia must not be interested in fighting anymore, would have been Spence's first solid test, but he came in super heavy. Can't imagine Haymon using him anymore after being burned twice in consecutive fights by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine Haymon using him anymore after being burned twice in consecutive fights by him. You mean Roberto and yeah I think he's done. Passed up on consecutive career pay days. More telling this time around bc he was actually booted off the card altogether. Edited June 19, 2015 by Rexx1240 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexx1240 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I'm hearing that Porter is being instructed by his people to ignore the 10lb fight night rehydration clause. I can confirm that as of 2 days ago, Shawn Porter had yet to see the actual bout contract. All agreements including the 144 catch weight are all merely verbal agreements, nothing signed.

Rexx1240 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Looking forward to a pretty big night of boxing, some very good fights on tap for tonight. Of course none bigger than Broner-Porter. Side bar on that fight, I was thinking about how Broner chose not to work out for his media day. The last 2 fighters I seen do that ended up losing the fight...

Mr. Sinister Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Got my popcorn ready. Usually I'm out doing stuff all day on Saturday, but the gf is working today. Was able to catch a little of the Walters fight last weekend, and I'm all in today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I'm picking Porter, i think he bully & pressure Broner against the ropes Broner really needs to utilize footwork tonight which is not really his forte. Porter's not that dynamic, but he can bring pressure when he's on his game. I think he'll look to smother Broner and not allow Broner the space needed to work his combos.

Rexx1240 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 So Smith missed weight yesterday, fined $45k. They let him step back on today, he's still the same weight smh, fined another 15k. Fight purse now from 225k to 165k. If this is his tactic for an advantage over Ward, it's a pretty costly one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Spence/Verdejo could eventually be a poor man's Mayweather/Pac. A fight we all want to see, that might not get made until they are past their primes I think Spence Jr beats Keith Thurman in the unlikely case they actually fight in September. I fully expect Ghost Guerrero to get fed to Spence next Edited June 21, 2015 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rexx1240 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Porter is fighting a very smart fight. This strategy comes from film study. He's exposing Broner's main weakness which is his lack of movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
