"Special One" Brook vs "One Time" Thurman@147/10 1/2 Stone: who wins?

[Showtime..]

Brook is pretty beatable, but I don't think that Thurman can exploit his faults.

[LoadedWraps]

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

Brooks chin is too sold to be stopped by the likes of Thurman.

[Superpunchout]

Thurman gets careless and walks in to a right hand and gets taken out.
Thurman wont be landing those telegraphed leap punches on brook just like porter couldn't land.

[SergioMartinez]

Lol what? If anything he's very overrated.

Who the fook has he beaten other than overhyped Porter?

Which who TECHNICALLY had beaten better fighters than Thurman, so if anyone is over hyped than Thurman.

Porter had a win over Paulie and Devon.
2 Top 10 WW's.
2 established WW's.

Thurman has a win over Guerrero
a dude was classified as being a bum, and a slow flat footed Mexican prior to losing to Thurman.

So Porter was more established than Thurman, and he got taken out by Brook, not to do triangle theories.

Pauli wasn't a top 10 WW.

Porter is a better win than anyone on Thurman's resume but Chaves and Guerrero are very good wins. Both are in the The Ring's top 10.

I do like the Chavez win, very solid.

Guerrero though, he should never be in the top 10 at 147 for me. He doesn't really offer anything at 147 outside of punch resistance.

Still, 147 is heating up nicely. The big two will be retired soon as will Marquez which leaves the likes of Maidana, Bradley, Khan, Thurman, Porter and Brook to battle it out. I very much like the sound of that.

I got Guerrero at #10 and Chaves at #11, although my rankings from 8-12 often changes.

I'd like to see Guerrero be more crafty, he's got decent skill.

I see Thurman, Brook, Porter, Khan and Spence running 147 after Pac and Floyd are gone.

[JACK1190]

I see this as a 50/50 fight but those wild shots Thurman throws won't land on Kell.

[Ljc]

Itll be intresting to see how brook looks on the 28th. I know its only a tune up but with the leg injury and all. If he looks 100% i give him a good chance to beat any one at 147 not named floy or pac

It's more like a 60/40 fight in Brooks favor. Better, more well rounded fighter all around. Thurman has a power advantage, that's about it.
