    I think Thurman vs Brook would be more of a boxing match, but I can see Thurman landing something vicious late on and stopping Kell
    Not a pressure fighter but he does like to swing recklessly and those two things would favour Kell, tonight he fought someone who is all wrong for him and look what he did, so Thurmans style wouldn't worry me.

        tough fight to call, obviously the public will lean towards Thurman because there's more video on him

        both guys have the talent to beat the other

          What? This was a perfect style for Brook. Nice compact accurate left hook, stiff jab and straight right hands, that's a great arsenal against Porters style.

          Brook would have a much more difficult time with Thurman's style.

            Don't be ******, Kell needs space to get his shots off, something porter gives you very little of, but he dealt with it well.

              BROOK has better boxing fundamentals but thurman is more athletically gifted. Thurman by ko or brook ud, if fight happens I will make prediction closer to fight time, need to watch more of both

                I still have to watch Brook vs Porter, but going off memory, believe it or not, I have Brook beating Thurman.

                I think Thurman's defense can be shaky at times when he drops his hands. I like Brooks high guard. I think he'll cause Thurman problems and be able to counter.

                  Listen you phucken idiot, if you can't see how a boxer puncher CREATES space then you're a ******. A fighter like Porter smothers his opponent when they can't keep him off of them.

                    Boxer puncher you say? Well let's face it Porter can't box and he can't really punch he's a sloppy brawler, so take your ****** anaylasis else where boy!

                      Styles make fights, Thurman is tailor made for Brook.
