Porter always fights to his competition level. He looked like shyt against Granados and Ugas, but rises to the occasion versus Thurman, Spence and Danny.

Porter had to cut his hair to make weight I remember that bro. He took Ugas lightly which was stupid considering Ugas was #1 for the WBC and IBF at the time and chose to fight Porter over Spence, which is how Spence ended up fighting Ocampo in the first place, I would of taken that as an insult if I was Porter.

he took him lightly because it was closer then you expected it to be?

Danny Garcia and Shawn Porter arguing in the ring after Danny fought Rios was hilarious.

He missed weight. Twice. That has never happened before or after yet bro. If you not making weight, you are either struggling to make weight or not training properly. Maybe he didn't take it lightly and just fukked up it is possible.

I’m just saying you’re speaking as if you know the camp personally

he’s been struggling to make weight

@patscorpio has been preaching this on the forum for a minute that Porter needs to move up

I think Hearns/Tito is 50/50.
Both could cause each other problems, both can be hurt, but it feels like Tito recovered better. I lean towards Hearn winning, but if he don't get Tito out of there by the 7th rd, he might have some major problems later in that fight. Tito stamina was better and if he could carry Tommy fast, he could make something happen, but he'd have to survive some crazy offense and boxing skills to do that.

If Tommy can clip Duran at 154, he prolly has a good shot at doing that to Tito as well.

 

[King P]

I favor Hearns 60/40 in a fight with Tito.

Hearns lightning quick jab and sharp right would give Trinidad a ton of trouble. His glass chin is way too overstated. You not getting him out of there with 1 punch. Though Tito has the power and endurance that would help him if it went into the later rounds.

Also, what weight class are we talking? Tito has a better chance of beating him at 147. 154 definitely favors Hearns even more (he's arguable the GOAT fighter at that weight)

Fury-Joshua Showdown Not Likely To Happen in UK, Says Hearn

Fury-Joshua Showdown Not Likely To Happen in UK, Says Hearn
By BoxingScene Staff

Published On Sun Jun 14, 2020, 12:18 AM EDT

Eddie Hearn, promoter for IBF, IBO, WBA, WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, says the 2021 unification with WBC champion Tyson Fury is unlikely to take place on UK soil.

The fight, which is arguably the biggest fight in the sport, will be pursued by groups in numerous countries.

Investment groups in Saudi Arabia and China are expected to make significant offers to secure the rights to host that event. Casinos in Las Vegas are expected to come to the table as well.

Venues in the UK will find it very difficult, at least financially, to secure that fight.

Joshua's last bout, a December rematch with Andy Ruiz, was scooped up for a tremendous amount of money by Saudi Arabia.

Fury will first take part in a trilogy fight with Deontay Wilder before the year is over, while Joshua is going to defend his world titles against mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev.

If both champions win, their respective camps will work together to finalize a two-fight deal.

"If we can do the fight in the UK, fantastic, (but) we know Saudi Arabia would love to have this fight. We had a wonderful experience last time with the Andy Ruiz fight. We've had offers from China, we've had offers from around the world. This is the biggest fight in boxing, it doesn't get any bigger," Hearn said.

"There's not going to be any country that stages major events that won't want this fight. Everyone will talk about this fight taking place in the UK but it doesn't work like that.

"We have to go back to report the offers to these people's teams. It's a dangerous sport so let them make their money. It's a two-fight deal so one will take place in an alternative venue to the other fight. If we can do the fight in the UK, fantastic."

Always thought this is some fukk shyt to just worship money as some god leaving behind reason. In other words, greed.
They gonna alienate their OG fans by staging the fight in China, Saudi Arabia or whoever the fukk offers them the most money even though the plus money they would get wouldn't change the quality of their lives one bit as they would get enough money to live down 2 lifetimes from it if it would be in the UK too plus they are already wealthy. But I get it, "money though", so fukk the fans, them having a couple of extra millions they can't even spend to the lots of other millions they can't even spend is more important.

They would make more than enough money in the UK too. What I’m saying is having 200 million instead 100 million doesn’t make any substantial changes in your life, after a point money is just excess.
