nikka what fight you was watching?, that was a merciful stoppage. Well timed
Horribly timed Berto was looking for a way out, luckily for Berto either Porter showed compassion or was extremely inaccurate as he could have sent Berto through the ropes 3-4 times, or even gave Berto one of them clubber lang, Floyd Ortiz type kill shots....It wasnt nothing about merciful about that stoppage though; that ref w3as in @patscorpio mode basking in the discombobulation that was taking place, Berto could have got hurt, but Porter kept backing off......

I thought it was a good stoppage and Harvey Dock overall did a great job considering what he was dealing with. If it was Steve Smoger , Jack Reiss or someone like them Berto would have died

People were actually thinking Berto could win? This nikka the poor mans version of Zab minus the flare how the fukk this guy getting name on marquee still in 2017? I was working but got a text saying he got stopped I wasn't even surprised Berto need to go away.

cats have to understand...that berto was brutalized when he was considered in his prime by the likes of robert guerrero who was fresh off coming up from 135..he didnt have anything for a young stronger prime fighter for porter outside of an uppercut..which landed several times to no real effect :heh:...boxing is really 2 fighters trying to prove their intangibles over the other..this fight reinforced that lesson..sometimes having pretty/sound boxing skills isnt enough...devon, paulie, broner, and berto arguably have more "skills" than porter and everyone of them ended up soundly defeated by porter..he's doing this on sheer brawn and strength lol..with that being said about porter when he returns to 154 that will become omce again more of a liability of cats who are naturally big and/or strong as he is

He's not easy to watch and how people struggle with his WWE style blows my mind.

Its the pressure + volume + speed + intensity + strength....hes basically like fighting a Welterweight version of a Bear.

He just overwhelms you.

Skill alone is not good enough to beat Porter...you have to FIGHT him off of you, not Box.

I enjoy his style bc it shows that technical skill isnt the end all/be all of #TheSweetScience

I think porter will improve with size, he already beat some of the sports biggest names at higher classes in the Ammies, him draining down to fight smaller faster fighters benefits those small fighters imo, there is simply less talented at 154-160

congrats to all of you guys who rooted for Porter. We had a bad plan. Definitely. Berto threw no jabs and was not using his feet at all.


@Newzz enjoy it while you can. I m gonna have my haitian coalition team revamp, but Berto is still the captain. Just to make it clear

That was never his thing, so I knew what would happen. Lubin should be the captain now though.....lets get it breh.


#HammerHeads. We coming for somebody's belt:blessed:

100% accurate.


And even the guys who beat him had to go through a war to do it.


Porter definitely is a fighter who separates the boys from the men in the ring.


Gonna need more than technical skill at 147 to beat Porter
