K. Porter: Adrien Broner Hired Investigators To Follow Me

Posted by: Rick Reeno on 6/20/2015 .





By Rick Reeno


MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Kenny Porter, father and trainer of Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16KOs), is convinced that former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1,22KOs) hired investigators to follow him around.


During Thursday's final press conference, a war of words erupted between Kenny and Broner.


The tense situation began when Broner started describing Kenny's girlfriend, details about his home, specific details about his two cars, and other personal information.

"I started feeling really good about myself when he started talking about my women, the way I dress, my nice car, and my jeep. He sent an investigation team out on me, because we don't hang around those people. We don't go to Floyd Mayweather's gym, so he literally sent someone out to follow me to see what I was doing," Kenny told BoxingScene.com.

Broner even revealed Kenny's bank of choice - which Kenny says was half-true. He named the wrong bank, but revealed the correct Las Vegas neighborhood where Kenny does his banking.

"He got the bank wrong, but he got the right area. Floyd banks with me so I know Floyd told him that. Floyd has gotten out of his line to shake my hand at the bank," Kenny said.

Broner vs. Porter will headline the next edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC on NBC) on Saturday night.

Adrien Broner-Shawn Porter: Pre-Fight Report Card
Posted by: Cliff Rold on 6/20/2015 .





by Cliff Rold

This Saturday night in Las Vegas, a nationally televised audience on NBC (8:30 PM EST/5:30 PM PST) will be treated to a clash between two former titlists in the Welterweight division.

The fight was stipulated at a catchweight of 144 lbs.

Ostensibly, one could see this as a reflection of Adrien Broner’s moving back to 140 lbs. for his last three fights.

It’s still, by far, the most ridiculous of the rash of catchweight fights we’ve seen in recent memory. The only reason for this is, it appears, is to bring the naturally bigger man (Porter) in light to make it easier for the more famous Broner to win. Recalling his fight with Vicente Escobedo in 2012, it’s not the first time Broner has used the scale to sway the odds in his favor.

Circumstances like this make it easy to root for Porter. Will it take away from his chances to win? Or does late speculation that Broner may have had to dry out even more than Porter reverse intent?

Let’s go the report card.

The Ledgers

Shawn Porter
Age: 27

Vs.

Adrien Broner
Age: 25

Current/Former World Champions/Titlists Faced: 5 (Daniel Ponce De Leon UD10; Antonio DeMarco TKO8; Gavin Rees TKO5; Paulie Malignaggi SD12; Marcos Maidana L12;

Grades

Pre-Fight: Speed – Porter B+; Broner A-
Pre-Fight: Power – Porter B; Broner B
Pre-Fight: Defense – Porter B; Broner B
Pre-Fight: Intangibles – Porter B+; Broner B+

Weight issues aside, this is an interesting fight between a swarmer and a fighter who likes to try to box. It is when Broner wants to box that Porter can have success. For all his slick moves, Broner is more Zab Judah than Floyd Mayweather on defense. He creates the appearance of defense while getting hit a lot.

It was a flaw that many tried to explain away when Broner was lower on the scale with the insinuation that he was ‘letting guys hit him.’ The problem was that it hasn’t stopped. It cost Broner against Maidana and made his fight with Emanuel Taylor last year a sleeper hit. From a fan perspective, it’s a fun flaw to have.

Where Broner has an edge, boxing or fighting, is in his shot selection. Porter’s bullish style overwhelmed Malignaggi and Alexander. It got him outmaneuvered and countered all night by Brook. Broner’s sharp hooks and uppercuts, timed correctly, could force Porter to reset constantly and never get his pressure rhythm going.

How will the weight affect the fight? Recent history says the man giving up pounds usually loses. Porter hasn’t been as low as 144 since 2011 and has been fighting right near the division limit of 147 since, with a couple fights at Jr. Middleweight. Porter fights a high-energy style. If it’s close and gets into the late rounds, will he have the gas to push forward or will his legs betray him?

This battle for Ohio in Vegas has seen plenty of bad blood spewed in the last couple days. We’ll see what that looks like in the ring Saturday night.

The Pick

Broner has created a public persona that, for anyone who has matured much past puberty, makes him easy to root against. He’s not the first or last fighter to go the Roddy Piper route as the player everyone loves to hate. It will make any loss he has thick grist for the social media mill. Hector Camacho milked it for years past his in-ring relevance.

It wouldn’t matter if he couldn’t fight. Broner might not be as good as he says, but he’s clearly talented. That talent, and the sacrifices Porter has made on the scale, will give enough cover to his brand this weekend to get a decision in a fight that may ultimately be deemed controversial.

Report Card and Staff Picks 2015: 48-12 (Including staff picks for Haskins-Iwasa, Walters-Marriaga, Verdejo-Najera, Zlaticanin-Redkach, Pedraza-Klimov, and Wilder-Molina)

id say more for broner than porter due to broner's stature...he's been in stinkers since maidana beat the breaks off him and hasnt regained footing..the overrated tag will be louder if he loses

with porter not as much..but maybe it might persuade him to get a new trainer

Yup. I think this is the first step for them tryin to build Broner back up and if doesnt win he's forever overrated and stays at C-list fighter. I think most of us know that Porter is nothin more then a C-list fighter
