'Wonder if there's something wrong': Brock Jarvis preparation questioned by former world champ

Former world champion Shawn Porter has questioned the preparation of Brock Jarvis, admitting there are concerns over the Australian's weight cut.

Jarvis will face the toughest challenge of his career on Wednesday night, facing off against American superstar Keith Thurman in the main event at Hordern Pavilion.

The 27-year-old, who was trained by Jeff Fenech until recent months, will headline the No Limit event in Sydney, which will also feature Michael Zerafa.

Jarvis and Thurman both made weight on Tuesday morning, but according to Porter, something felt off with the Aussie at the official pre-fight event.

"You have to look at Brock's energy and wonder if there's something wrong with the preparation for making weight," he said.

"We all have some struggles, especially near the end. There's no telling what is going on through his mind, but he looks like he is focused. 

"I want to believe in him."

Porter also told Fox Sports this week that Jarvis should ditch his game plan of starting slow, instead pushing the Aussie to take the fight to Thurman in the early stages.
