Comments Thread For: Andre Berto: Porter's Pressure Often Isn't Effective Pressure

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK Pressure. It's the word mentioned most when people assess Shawn Porter's perceived path to victory over Andre Berto on Saturday night in Brooklyn. Pressure is Porter's specialty, a practice that has served the former IBF welterweight champion well throughout his eight-year pro career. Berto isn't so sure, though, that Porter's strength is actually as great an asset as it is made out to be.

True. Porter has this annoying habit of smothering his own work instead of taking even a half-step back and using his pressure effectively. It looked great against Alexander, but not Brook.

Porter's pressure should be too much for Berto to handle tho. Style-wise this is not a good match-up for Berto.

I can see Berto winning by KO with a massive uppercut as Porter tries to close the distance.

he is right, but he still will get beaten up bad

I kinda agree with you , but at the same time I just don't trust Berto's chin to hold up to Porters power. I have to go with Porter.

porter is a football player doing boxing. You can tell when he throwing his punches he leans so far in if you side step him he will fall on his face cause he needs you their to hold him up.

Totally agree, he smother his own work a lot. Sometimes I feel like Porter just snort some cocaine before getting into the ring. Too hyperactive, he needs to relax a bit and he would be able to see things a lot more.

Has-been Berto is getting knocked out

Thats a 100% accurate description of Porter. Let's see if Berto and Virgil Hunter can exploit that somehow.
