    Hope you are right. I have the feeling it will be a clinch fest.

    Yes! In fact it guarantees to be ultra stinky. The reason is, Berto will not fight inside. Instead, he will try to hold Porter anytime Pprter gets close. It will be a tedious affair.

    Both Men are "Speedy Sluggers", ie., "Bittersweet" Shane Mosley's, who PREFER Engaging and Firing from CLOSE Range...Only SHORTER than Shane, in Terms of Height and Arm Length...Make No Mistake, This WILL Be a Pocket Affair...

    NEITHER is Adept @ Fighting Off of the Back Foot and NEITHER is Particularly Good Defensively...Win, Lose or Draw, there's NO Bitch in Either of Them, as Well...They've Got BALLS...

    Porter and Berto are Both AGGRESSIVE, yet LIMITED Enough Where REED Can't See This Being Anything Other than ENTERTAINING...

    Double will defend Porter's horrible style to his grave.

    Berto has been involved in much better fights than Porter.

    I expect Porter to win though. He did take 4 rounds off Thurman, and Berto, even at his peak, wasn't as good as Thurman.

    berto is an action fighter so maybe he can negate the awful style of porter and make it a tolerable affair

    Bullshit. Berto is a midrange mindless combo puncher who does nothing but throw punches and then hold. Only reason he is exciting is because he has almost no defense.

    You have nerve calling Berto mindless when ya boy ain't exactly Archie Moore in ring IQ. Porter is dumb as a brick as a fighter.

    Although I'm expecting Porter to win, with way Shawn rushes in, he's gonna provide PLENTY of chances for Berto to land that beautiful right uppercut of is. And it it lands right, it can seriously hurt Porter.

    Porter is a hit and grab fighter like the stinky Michael Spinks

    Just a Reminder, this WILL Be an Entertaining Fight, as Will the Jermell Charlo-Charles Hatley Bout, in the Co-Main...

    Yes. Both guys have a penchant for holding. And berto is a pot shotter who rarely engages in exchanges. So there is a large chance the fight is stinky. Call me pessimistic.

    :pissed: I've been peering out for one 'Porter' ..ever since I switched on the telly and got myself involved in a bit of an incident baring witness to this young man bullying what I know now to be the victim, 'Keith Thurman Jr'. At first the verdict seemed a bit pap, but, but, Keefy quickly contended that the judges score a fight primarily on 'defense' and just desserts were given to his slick maneuvering out of any, and all, exchanges. This was the first fight I had watched after a bitter 4 year hiatus.

    No interest in watching either of these two sloppy bams. Porter could possibly win me over if he dyed his hair white so as to look like a pint of porter.

    Porter will win a clear UD. Rooting for Berto to pull the upset and knock the grappling sonuvabitch out.

    Porter won by stoppage in the 9th round.

    Times that by 2 my good lad, times that by 2, see you've prioritized "Ring generalship" over aggression and punches landed. Oops, that's not how we score a fight. :elmo:
