Thurman vs porter sparring footage from 2012

Keith was controlling the spar sess quite easily. This is how I expect the actual fight to go, Porter pressuring but getting tagged and turned only to be pumped with a stiff jab. Only difference will be that Shawn is gonna feel those 8oz gloves a lot more than the 20s.

Thanks for the video. It wasn't exactly a gym war without many punches thrown or landed per round. I thought Porter easily won every round. He took the fight to Thurman and threw and landed more punches and was always the one come forward and making the fight. Thurman mostly ran and held. He didn't throw much or land much. I disagree that Thurman got the best of this sparring session. I think Porter won that particular sparring session and it wasn't even close.

People talk about how Thurman will be wearing smaller gloves but so will Porter and his punches will count too. Never go by a sparring session. We often don't know who is closer to a scheduled fight and a number of other elements at play. Paul Spadafora owned Mayweather in a sparring session. There are countless examples of sparring showing one fighter having an advantage till the actually fight. All you can go by is how you envision the fight going based on their recent fights. This is a genuine 50/50 fight.
