Thurman confirms Porter fight, announcement coming soon

March 5 date request by PBC withdrawn, that was for Thurman-Porter fight at MGM.— Steve Carp (@stevecarprj) January 12, 2016 That should be a given one of the best moves in pbcs venture so far

I think Brook is gonna move up before the end of the year, after the Khan fight. If he doesn't, he'll have to fight Spence and that's not a fight I see him winning. Brook really wasted his momentum after that Porter win, but Porter + Khan would be a decent welterweight resume before moving up I guess. He'll struggle at 154 though, especially if he fights the top guys. I agree Brook probably goes to 154 after the Khan fight, he is a big kid. At this point I just don't see him losing to Spence though. I'm big on Spence, and think he can beat a lot of guys, but can't pick him to beat Brook without seeing him in with better competition.

about damn time

I just can't respect this opinion...Go watch Kell fight the level of Bums Spence has fought and come back and tell me how impressive he is ....Please google the word hype

Legit. Leaning slightly towards the war flute.

Just to summarise what he said: Porter will definitely be his first fight this year, negotiations are in the final stages, announcement coming soon Yeah, realistically speaking though I'm pretty sure the winner will fight the winner of Danny vs Guerrero, I'm good with that as well. No way does Haymon put the winners of these fights vs each other.... Atleast not right away.

Thurman is doing a lot of talking these days. Safe to say a fight announcement is coming very soon. Should be this week.

Good to hear. The sooner the better. It's taken way too long for an official announcement as it is. Should be a great fight

i think thurman only agreed because he knows pbc is about to bite it https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYeziZ6UQAEcgKY.jpg

Ducking doe. Coulda atleast left a time frame op damn

Time to avenge Broner and knock Porter silly.

damn you a die hard fan huh how the **** you find this weird ass link lmfao. And Thurman loves to talk Ill believe it when it happens. http://www.theticketmiami.com/2016/01/10/keith-thurman-in-studio-fighters-fury/ It's from that Apparently it's gonna be official this week

Another new Thurman interview

Sweet. Looking forward to it.

The winner of all these fights still needs to beat Brook to prove they're the best. Only one with a chance in my eyes is Manny . I also think Brook is the kinda guy who'd become a superstar if he beat Manny (most likely by KO) and tempt Floyd out of retirement due to the jealousy. Brook's career has gone way to slow.....

Great news if it holds true. 2016 line up for the sport needs a lot of work.
