Robert Garcia Tabs Adrien Broner To Beat Shawn Porter

Veteran trainer Robert Garcia is picking former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1, 22KOs) to walk away with the victory when he faces ex-welterweight champion Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16KOs) on June 20th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fight will headline a Premier Boxing Champions main event on NBC, and takes place at a catch-weight of 144-pounds.


"It's not an easy fight, it's going to be an exciting fight - but I'm picking Broner to win. He's got tremendous skills and I've heard that he's training very, very hard. That said, I think he wins the fight. It won't be easy but I think he wins," Garcia said.

One of Garcia's main fighters, Marcos Maidana, handed Broner the first defeat of his pro career in 2013. Broner moved down to 140-pounds and now has a three fight win streak. Broner survived two knockdowns and some very tense moments to last twelve rounds in defeat.


"[Broner] has a lot of heart and he deserves to get respect. Just the fact that he was able to hang in there with Maidana after two knockdowns and everything that happened in the fight...he was there, he hung in there. He took Maidana's best punches and still went the distance and the fight was still close. He's a very tough guy, he's a very dangerous guy that a lot of people don't think so, but he could be one of the best fighters in the world. With a few good wins, he could be in the top five or four pound-for-pound," Garcia said.

Interviewer: "I gotta commend you, just like I said to Shawn Porter. There's alot of guys out there who call themselves ' Warriors', but they're not willing to fight certain guys in their division. You and Shawn Porter are pretty much willing to fight anybody. What does that say about you? Are you guys fighters from another era or what?"

AB: "I mean....we're from Ohio"

I'd be real surprised if AB beat Porter. He doesnt have enough power or use his jab enough to keep Porter off of him

Porter just ain't good enough. Nikka is average as hell

Avoid them wild ase left hooks and you'll be straight. Hell if bone didn't tear his acl I think he would have beat him

He doesn't use his Jab enough at all

I was favoring AB cuz Porter is ehhh to me + the catch weight

But hearing all this AB was forced to take this fight N AB wasnt training til after May/PAC...I got it 50/50 now leaning towards struggletime

He didn't really have to train until May 3rd, because honestly by the time he fights Porter, only 105 days will have passed since he fought Molina...and he took 0 damage in that fight.

He was still in fight shape PLUS he basically has a cushion of 4 lbs to make weight.

And according to Shawn Porter, AB inquired into fighting him...but at a catchweight of 144 just like he offered Khan...and Porter accepted it asap.

I haven't heard anyone cosign that random story about AB being basically "backed into a corner" by Haymon and forced to take this fight.
