    Shawn Porter Is Keith Thurman kryptonite, No Ands Ifs Or Butts About It.

    First off Good showing from Thurman, but I feel he got a lil exposed in this bout. He needs that "sweet spot distance" if you a lil too close he moves and moves and moves till he gets it, I think it was round 4 he went a minute and a half without throwing a single punch cause guerrero was trying to put the pressure on him and he didnt have that "sweet spot distance" that he needed, also from round 10 till the end he was pretty much on his bike just pot shotting with no real authority just get away from me shots cause guerrero was determined to make it a inside fight after being KD.

    Now saying all that I think Thurman vs Porter will be a great fight, Porter is stronger 24/7 non stop version of Guerrero inside game, that all porter style is and porter is actually physically strong to muscle thurman around and move him how he wants with physical strength something guerrero is not, and porter is very quick on his feet and hand speed I think matched thurman quite evenly.

    Porter vs Thurman is the next bout that should happen.

    all in all Thurman put up a great fight a good showing but like I said I think he was lil exposed but when you look at the 147 landscape their is no one their physically strong enough to exploit them I think other then shawn porter.

      Porter is a good inside fighter and Thurman clearly can't fight on the inside. Obviously whoever controls where they're better at will win. Porter and brook are the 2 welterweights that i think have a really good shot at beating Thurman.

          This is a fantastic fight that I'd love to see, providing Porter impresses in his next bout.

              Porter's inside game isn't actually that good. Smothers a lot of his own work and is very wild.

                  I don't see this inside game that Porter seemingly has. He smothers him own work and just holds and hits. Brook neutralised Porter by catching him on the way in and then holding.

                    Posted before I could.

                    Porter smothers his inside work, and if you have a little bit of heat he isn't that hard to interrupt as we saw Brook do. Porter's a good fighter but a little one dimensional.

                    Plus, Thurman and Porter have put in some work together. There's a reason Kenny Porter didn't want that fight yet when his son was on undefeated.
