Strange that the predictions thread got locked, but whatever. 30 mins away from the start of the card. Omar Figueroa fights first.
In a dream world, we'd see Figueroa vs Terrance Crawford. TC would beat the ever living Holy Christ outta Omar.
That was a much better fight than that snoozefest, Figueroa-Belmontes earlier in the year in the same venue. Figueroa showed some balls here.
Figueroa has balls. Nobody can doubt that. But his defense is horrible, technique is sloppy, and he's not a devastating puncher. I mean for Christ sake, could you picture Figueroa vs Danny Garcia at 140? Danny would would counter, and starch him in a hurry.
He is exciting. I think him vs Broner would make for an exciting fight. And in terms of styles, Fig could make Broner look good.
He has a good chin and a lot of courage but he makes such ugly fights. I just want this fight to end somehow.
Bring on the main event: I'm sticking with my prediction. Porter KO4. I think the pressure from Porter will be too much for Brook and he'll end up getting scraped off the canvas after four.
It's possible. Brook could have the same type of chin as his arch enemy Khan. Unless he can hurt Porter, and keep him off, he's gonna get beat up.
i only saw porter once, against Malignaggi, and he really impressed me. Well see today if he's really good, or if it was only a good style matchup
