Fuc this thread. It's my turn to make my thread

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Well since Berto is the much better boxer and is strong enough for the wrestling shyt, not afraid to let his hands go (Broner), and has the ability to knock him down like Broner, I will go ahead and put my money on Berto...

I will say I am biased against Porter though. Dudes style is trash to me..

Hopefully Berto doesn't come in on some bullshyt and prove me wrong.

 

[Reggie]

Porter by close decision

Disturbing lack of Berto smileys........

At times I question if what Porter does can even be considered boxing. Its more akin to sumo wrestling at times.

Sumo wrestling with wild punches...

He loses to anyone with above average boxing ability and power in regards to these higher level boxers.

Berto should have the strength and boxing ability to do what Broner couldn't do but Kell brook and Keith Thurman did.

Porters style makes fighters uncomfortable and fights look bad... He just mauls like a UFC nikka... Just smother his own punches and doesnt even care. If you let your hands go you can school him like Kell brook did

didn't even realize berto is 33 i remember him coming up at the hammerstein ballroom back in 05-06.

i can't call it but leaning toward porter sd. no way in hell this fight should be disappointing though.

 

[malbaker86]

I'll go with Porter but wouldn't shock me if Berto won

 

[patscorpio]

i think porter ko's berto...berto is a slow starter these days and he's going to get blitzed by porter

i also think hatley will pull the upset against little charlo too

 

[The axe murderer]

Porter is much better than people give him credit for. I got him by UD

that is true..these days i lay off porter because i used to criticize him alot...he is effective with the shyt he does but it depends on the type of opponent..he is a guy that has fought up to SMW and he is strong as shyt..brook had the strength and size to keep him at bay and counter him at will...julio diaz in the first fight landed rights at will and also surprisingly won the battle on the inside with effective body punching .berto has never shown me any real ability to adjust (@LauderdaleBoss please correct me if im wrong about this) and in recent times his power is bailing him out...age, wars, and injuries have diminished alot of berto's athletic ability but he is more patient than he used to be..for berto to win he is going to have to box him...he does a have good jab when he decides to use it...a lot of sticking and moving to nullify porter's workrate and pray he lands that uppercut of his to make him think twice
