"Special One" Brook vs "One Time" Thurman@147/10 1/2 Stone: who wins?

Thats what i call a 50/50 fight, after their last performances i would lean to Brook in a very competive close fight, I could also see a late knockout for either of them, Thurman has more power but he can also be hurt to the body. Good post. I think Brook would frustrate Thurman.

Kell picks Thurman's overrated jittery ass to pieces LOL. I give the edge to Brook right now, but Thurman can be dangerous and can't be counted out.

I think it's a good test for Thurman, Brook would try to outbox him and Thurman would get frustrated and it would turn into a brawl late where Brook edges him. pretty much this. ive tried very hard to be sold on thurman, he talks the talk and does not deliver, he will get shown up sooner or later imo. ps: was it you who suggested ' the prophet ' instead of the special one? needs changing asap

Genuine 50-50 fight. would love to see it as their strengths and weaknesses complement each other. Make the fight!

Great fight. Leaning towards Thuirman but I can see Brook winning. I think Brook frustrates him but Thurman stops him late Good analysis. I am not sure Thurman can stop Brook though.

Thurman KO's this British bastard. How? Brook has a granite chin.

Itll be intresting to see how brook looks on the 28th. I know its only a tune up but with the leg injury and all. If he looks 100% i give him a good chance to beat any one at 147 not named floy or pac I agree with this, though I think Maidana puts him to sleep if he can catch him.

I see this as a 50/50 fight but those wild shots Thurman throws won't land on Kell. It's more like a 60/40 fight in Brooks favor. Better, more well rounded fighter all around. Thurman has a power advantage, that's about it.

I do like the Chavez win, very solid. Guerrero though, he should never be in the top 10 at 147 for me. He doesn't really offer anything at 147 outside of punch resistance. Still, 147 is heating up nicely. The big two will be retired soon as will Marquez which leaves the likes of Maidana, Bradley, Khan, Thurman, Porter and Brook to battle it out. I very much like the sound of that. I got Guerrero at #10 and Chaves at #11, although my rankings from 8-12 often changes. I'd like to see Guerrero be more crafty, he's got decent skill. I see Thurman, Brook, Porter, Khan and Spence running 147 after Pac and Floyd are gone.

Which who TECHNICALLY had beaten better fighters than Thurman, so if anyone is over hyped than Thurman. Porter had a win over Paulie and Devon. 2 Top 10 WW's. 2 established WW's. Thurman has a win over Guerrero a dude was classified as being a bum, and a slow flat footed Mexican prior to losing to Thurman. So Porter was more established than Thurman, and he got taken out by Brook, not to do triangle theories. Pauli wasn't a top 10 WW. Porter is a better win than anyone on Thurman's resume but Chaves and Guerrero are very good wins. Both are in the The Ring's top 10.

Lol what? If anything he's very overrated. Who the fook has he beaten other than overhyped Porter?

Thurman gets careless and walks in to a right hand and gets taken out. Thurman wont be landing those telegraphed leap punches on brook just like porter couldn't land.

Great fight. Leaning towards Thuirman but I can see Brook winning. I think Brook frustrates him but Thurman stops him late Brooks chin is too sold to be stopped by the likes of Thurman.

Thurman is solid and has good power, but he gets right hand happy and tends to leave his head up. I think Brook has the deeper skill set, including an excellent jab and more versatility in his punches. He's also equally as comfortable on the front or back foot. Brook showed excellent discipline in the face of an intimidating Porter, so I think he'd have the game plan to see out a points win.

I think Brook is severely underrated on these boards, he is a great boxer. I pick him to win a decision. Lol what? If anything he's very overrated. Who the fook has he beaten other than overhyped Porter?
