I thought his balance was better than JCC's. Good point about Porter Davema and if Jordan makes Porter work on things such as the bouncing then he was a very worthwhile opponent for Shawn.

I thought it was a good learning experience as well. On the Fox Espanol Card, I actually thought Omar Chavez looked better than his Brother, even though the opposition wasn't much. Omar might develop into something, whereas I think JCC Jr. is never going to be anything but a fringe talent with beating a Matt Vanda being the high watermark. Nice article, Mike, and best wishes to Casey Guererro!!!

Fight quality opposition and learn on the job, as opposed to fighting stiffs and going to 20-0 and still not know how to fight. If Porter becomes a more tuned fighter, we might look back on a fight like Friday as a key to his development. He certainly has the talent and showed some poise after being hurt. He does have plenty to work on, but at least he knows now, as opposed to later when its too late Porter did what I ask all young fighters to do early.
