Thurman-Porter: Final Predictions

Say what you want about Porter's sloppiness but that man comes to fight.

 

DAMN...what a ending to that round

 

This has turned out to be a much better fight than I thought! End of round ten was explosive.

 

Both these guys beat Floyd

 

It'll be a sin if this fight doesn't end in an explosive knockout.


TFK

 

Very good fight! I had Thurman winning.

 

Better fight than I thought.

 

I think better than anybody expected.

 

I thought Thurman won pretty clearly tbh.

 

Indeed.

7-5 Thurman for me.

There won't be no rematch.

 

Exactly. And as I said, we can credit thurman for that. He almost never clinched even when Porter was working him inside. I think he won the fight.

 

115-113 x3 Keith Thurman wins a UD

 

Fair decision. I had Thurman around 8-4. But 7-5 is also fine.

 

"He ran a little bit"

 

Spence would stop Thurman to the body.

 

Gooooood fight. It was a good decision. Very close fight but Thurman seemed slightly superior

 

I am sure that Golden Boy will be calling Thurman to go up in weight and face Canelo next.

 

Only if Floyd is shot.

 

I thought Thurman won close and the fight was decently entertaining (though aesthetically horrible) but not even close to a great fight, never mind the "legendary fight" and "the fight of the year" that this announcer kept saying... There was a reasonable degree of drama in a few of the middle rounds but the opening rounds were basically awkward and shitty and the late rounds featured a lot more looking than punching

 

At times he reminded me of a prime Shane Mosley. No where near as fast of course but I saw similarities.

 

Better than I expected. Hell, at times I was thinking Barrera Morales.

I don't think Thurman's power is overrated, I think Porter's chin is just great.

Do not care to see an immediate rematch. I'd rather these guys prove they are the two best. I don't think they are, but they might be.

Porter vs Bradley is the fight to make.

 

Thurman isn't going to give Porter a rematch . The decision was fair...very close fight as phonetap expected. phonetap expected Porter's aggressive wild nature to give Thurman problems and it did but Thurman was able to land big counter shots which was the difference.

 

I think you're being too harsh. It was a good fight by any standards. Legendary? Lol. Hell no. It wasn't Corrales-Castillo, Pryor-Arguello, or Tito-Vargas... but it was a good scrap. By far the most electric I've ever heard Barclays Center for a fight.

 

Thurman vs Brook is the fight to make

 

CanYellow would destroy Thurman.

 

Yeah, hopefully that fight can be made for early next year. I'd like to see it.

Might as well. Neither want any part of Spence.

BTW.... all these guys beat Danny Gift.

 

Agreed, Thurman is too small for Canelo and he seems weak to the body.

 

Yep, I just about edited to add that fight. They match up well.

 

Yeah, Garcia couldn't beat these guys , but he's game though so he'd last the distance and make them work for the win.

 

i want to see garcia/porter
