Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter vs. Russell Jordan Early Results

[Jim Jeffries]

A learning experience for Porter against a more than half a foot taller southpaw. Shawn is only 22 and still very early in his career, he'll do fine.

Would like to see him fight Charles Hatley though, there'd be a lot more fireworks than in this one.

People who are dumping on Porter don't know ****. This dude fought a tall southpaw who had like a 5in height advantage and he still dominated most of the fight. He only has 11 fight give the kid time to devolpment. People who don't know boxing shouldn't watch these young guys early in their career because they don't know what there seeing.

Yup... I happen to think Lara (poor mans pacman) and Porter would be good. I think Shawn would take that fight btw.

lara fights nothing like pacman.
lara would school porter.
looks really easy to time porter with a southpaw hook. lara's got a very good one.

Porter was an amateur that seems to have had too many amateur fights. This kid was getting way too much hype. If this guy is one of Manny's key sparring partners wow cause he's just a thick guy that Manny can hit and hopefully their not really going at it in their sparring sessions. I don't see this kid going too far.

I never thought Pacquioa would go this far either....

Saw this fight and wasnt too impressed with Porter but he still pulled out the win for his hometown fans, shouldve ended it early with a KO he kept pulling outside and bouncing around though, obviously not much experience with 6'2 southpaws! I was more impressed with Lanard Lanes victory over Tucker!

To be honest I see a lot of people discrediting Porter and it's not to hype him up but we have to see the type of opponent he's in there with, he was a southpaw with a reach and height advantage, it would make a lot of people look bad, it probably was the first southpaw he was in with.

Collazo koed him bro you have to get rid of guys like him.

I think it was a perfect fight for Porter at this time in his career.It was a good learning experience for him to fight a much taller southpaw.Something he hasn't seen.Will he be a great?Lets see how he improves.

You do realize Collazo is a former Champion, which means a hell of a lot more experience than Porter right? and that Collazo fights nothing like Porter right? The Jordan fight was a great learning experience for Porter, he'll fix somethings on his style and training, it's just that Jordan was a very awkward fighter.
