Comments Thread For: Porter Brushes Off Late Scare, Dominates Broner

What a great dominating win for Porter. But I have to say an even better win for the sport of boxing. Today is s great day for the sport

when broner loses we all win

Glad Broner got his ass kicked. Dude blows up between fights and when he doesn't have the size advantage he can't do anything. Porter did well but could improve on things. He gets smothered too easily. Great win for a great guy. Hope Porter gets something big next. Broner needs to stay his ass in the gym and stop being so lazy.

Garcia like Broner?? Not even close, Garcia earned his lineal the old fashioned way, by taking out the top guys in his division. While Broner is a 3 weight titlist, hes never fought and established himself as the "best" in those divs. Hes basically a 3 div Paper Chump.

Not the biggest fan of Danny Garcia but I totally agree with this. He beat the top fighters in his division clearly. Broners best win is a disputed decision against Paulie. I don't see him beating any top fighter in either 147 or 140. Let's see where he goes from here.

I mean at the end of the day from Broner's own words, he's not a boxer but an "entertainer" and that's true, he's entertaining us by losing like **** over and over again.

Onto the next Al Haymon hypejob Danny Garcia, guy is a total joke and is very limited just like Broner. His time won't come yet because he is fighting the most non-threatening fighter in the welterweight division.

Danny Garcia is much better than Broner.

Danny Garcia is much better than Broner.

Danny vs Broner is a 'fair fight'... At 142...

If you thought this fight was close, you're the problem with boxing. The fact that the commentators were saying this fight was close or like 3-2 going into the sixth is crazy. This fight was like Sergio Martinez and JCC Jr. Broner did nothing but clinch, elbow and forearm for 11 rounds. Kind of a joke that boxing has a new system of judging fights where a guy wins a round just for landing some clean shots while completely doing everything to avoid actually throwing punches.

Points:

Broner should have had points deducted until he stopped with the dirty tactics.

Broner needs to never fight above 140 btw...

Porter dominated the fight if you had this fight close, then you need to reexamine wtf you were watching.

Boxing nowadays has turned into the fighter who turns into the "boxer" aka the guy who does whatever he can to avoid having to actually fight wins the round if he can land a few clean punches...

It's not even fun watching him lose anymore because he is so lost and confused in his identity and style. Add to that the horrific clinch-for-his-life/forearms-to-the-face tactic he was using (is that what Floyd was teaching him?), and that fight was horrendous. If he had actually fought in his true style - an aggressive boxer-puncher - that fight could have been awesome and he would have had more success. Yet his team have rendered him into some inert idiot, fighting a style ill-suited to him because Floyd does it.

I normally think the changing of the trainer is a convenient excuse but he badly needs it. Think how much better he would be under Roach - someone who preaches offence and gives his fighters clear instructions/identity.

But Broner is too far-gone. He's not mentally equipped for this sport. Even style-wise - he struggles against movers because of his feet. But neither can he cope with effective aggressors either. So he's basically screwed.

Broner is in big trouble, if he can't make 140. 147 is not for him. After last night, I think Errol Spence Jr. would beat Broner @ 147. The only 147 fighter Broner could possibly beat is Danny Garcia.

I'm happy for Porter, he truly had to work for that victory and he deserved it. Those forearms, elbows, clinches, and leaning and pressing drain you of energy and the 144 didn't help either, and still Porter outworked and out hustled Broner.

Broner is still a good fighter tho; he has good physical attributes and he shows flashes of good ability, but then he'll turn into a bar room brawler. He should've had more than the 1 point taken away.
