ah great, a boxer's dad who's involved in his team, who's a controversial shoot-from-the-hip type of character always running off at the mouth.

It's original innit

lets pray fro shawn porter v danny garcia

His father is under pressure, he looked far from relaxed - he looked uptight and that's never good for the son/fighter, because that tense rapid heartbeat is infectious.

He should have paid Brook respect and kept a cool head.

The reality is they are mocking the ten years for a title shot, yet they only won it with a fluke opportunity.

Brook is not Malignaggi in any shape or form. We've seen Hatton and Khan absolutely take apart Paulie - Brook is a big Welter and now they've seen him in the flesh, they aren't as comfortable as they are making out. Their dream could be over after Saturday.

In reality porters team is shitting themselves

The closer the fight gets the more I'm leaning towards brook.

Porter is nothing special and kell could do this if he is in very good shape as porter will pressure him all night.

To be fair to Shawn though, he seemed a bit embarrassed by it all.

An expert analysis of the situation as ever

That's one way of looking at it.

Alternatively it could be argued that his father's antics serve to take the pressure off Porter. Danny Garcia certainly manages to keep a cool head despite Angel, so there's at least some evidence that it can work in a fighter's favour.

Reminds me a bit of Chad Dawson v Andre Ward where the two trainers started screeching at each other during a press conference. Ward and Dawson obviously have the combined personality of 2 planks of wood and a bag of nails so it fell on the trainers to try and make something happen.

Similar situation with Porter here. He doesn't appear to have a hell of a lot to say for himself in interviews from what I have seen other than all the usual soundbites.
