broner seemed unmotivated and couldn't time porter's offense. but he showed what he was capable of in the 12th. ugly fight in which both guys don't have much to be proud of, imo. porter's hyper caveman style is so visually unappealing.
It's still better than Broner's hold-a-thon.
There's no way Porter Floyd gets made for Sept, it's too late for him now in June. Porter would practically have to get back to training from tomorrow if he's up next for Floyd in Sept.
Porter gets much respect for training like a true pro and doing the catch weight and still winning the day. I thought his punch resistance may have been lessened by such a strong catchweight, and it seems, I was right. But he still found a way to win. Much respect to Porter.

This is probably the first time the guy who demanded the catch weight..ended up losing the fight. Floyd won against Canelo, Cotto against Geale, Pac against Marg, Ward against Dawson etc.
Broner has never coped well with pressure. He throws 10 punches a round. That's not enough to keep a swarmer/pressure fighter off of you. He needs to throw more and work on his horrendous inside game

I agree, I thought that Porter would struggle and be drained.
But he showed that the right conditioning and attitude pays off.
If you look at how Porter lives and trains and then look at Broner's lifestyle it is no surprise that Porter won the fight.
