    Exactly, I have the same question myself.

          Porter's main focus was coming forward and getting on the inside, but he relied too much on strength/mauling instead of setting up his attack. More often than not, he was smothering his own offense. Thurman isn't going to constantly pressure Brook. He'll try to force Brook into leading so he can counter-punch. Brook likes to throw a quick right hand lead, and I think Thurman will have a counter ready for it. Thurman is a finisher at heart, something that Brook can use against him.

              Because Thurman would patiently time his hits and land counters at the right opportunity instead of just repetitively swinging hard wild hits.

                Brook would break him down like a surgeon.

                  Brook is clearly the better boxer of the two, not too sure on Brooks chin haven't seen it get tagged really.

                  Would be a good fight.

                    You don't see it get tagged because he has good defense, better defense then Thurman.

                      Brook actually does get tagged so let's not go there. Thurman will catch him.
