    Great fight. Leaning towards Thuirman but I can see Brook winning. I think Brook frustrates him but Thurman stops him late

This win gave Brook experience against a good fighter in his division. Thurman doesn't have the experience of being in a tough fight with a championship caliber opponent. That will be his downfall in this matchup.
      It seems to me to be very near to a 50/50 fight with Brook having the better resume and having the better boxing ability, along with the superior chin. Carson Jones hit Brook with a load of bombs and he survived. Thurman was hurt badly by Soto Karas.

      I think Brook is the better fighter and will win but Thurman will get the judges decision due to it being bad for business for one of Haymon's most promising fighters to lose.

        Why do people always say Thurman was really hurt by Soto Karass? I didn't notice that

          He was hurt for 1.6 sec. That counts as something on nsb.

            there's 2 people who never lose me money.

            Floyd Mayweather and Kell Brook.

            Brook by UD or ko.

            He's the bigger, longer reach, better boxer, better foot work fighter.

            He also has some good punching power, he can outbox him, or ko him.

            Eitherway Thurman wants it he gets it.

              I picked Porter vs Brook and I guess I didn't learn my lesson. I still don't see much special about Brook.

              Thurman I doubted until recently, he was hyped way prematurely as the next coming before he had much of anything on his record but I think he's showed us he's legit the other night.

              Thurman beats him up for 12 in a narrow UD where both fighters land but Thurman's shots have more effect.

                I think Brook is severely underrated on these boards, he is a great boxer. I pick him to win a decision.

                  Yea, you're hard headed.

                  If you actually look at the skill, sit back and look at what he does in the ring, you would know this guy is MASSIVELY under rated.

                  To his pin point accuracy, to the foot work, defense.

                    Lol what? If anything he's very overrated.

                    Who the fook has he beaten other than overhyped Porter?

                      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.
