    Thurman is obviously being protected. This is like Broner vs Rees. It's pathetic. Another hype job in the making.

      I think it could go either way. I'll be rooting for Shawn Porter though.

        I would pick Porter to swarm Thurman and defeat him by points. Anyboy can be a big puncher when you are beating up tomato cans. Porter would be the first real test of Thurman's career.

          I hear some talk about Porter's body work but going to the body leaves him opened. And what about Thurman's body work?

              I'd pick Thurman to win it. He's out to kill.

              Plus, I don't forgive Porter for providing recon to TMT. Shady

                I think Thurman has beaten a harder foe in Karass, Porter is good but he is too small, his only advantage against someone who hits hard and can box a bit is his activity but that won't count for much. It works against someone like Alexander and would probably work against Broner but against the likes of Thurman and Maidana, no.

                This is going to be a bit of an easy fight for Thurman. But I hope Porter wins, he seems like an ok guy.

                  I am going with Porter by decision in this one. I really hope this fight gets made. I like the way Thurman makes the adjustments as the fight goes in the championship rounds. This fight is a 50/50 fight.

                    There's going to be a lot of guys with Porter in their sights now. That belt may as well be a target on his back.

                    So long as Alexander doesn't get a rematch, I'm happy.

                      Close decision for Thurman. This is the type of fight that needs to be made, 2 young contenders coming up. The loser can come again.
