Thurman vs Porter - June 20th?

[North Star]

This is still a good fight. Haymon running out of options for in-house fights soon. Either that, or he needs to boost his ratings with something. Maybe they figure this may do that a bit.

You know...sometimes boxers learn from mistakes and past losses; sometimes they can regroup and become better.

I'd love to see Thurman vs Porter... good matchup.

meanwhile youre justifying cotto vs heiland as a good fight, but this is bad. Got it

Because Cotto would be giving up 15 pounds... and he's fighting Geale not Heiland. Thurman should handle Porter easy have you watched either of them fight? Porter leaves himself wide open and lunges in, Thruman will counter and KO him at some point in the fight. Porter is a C class fighter at best, Thurman has potential to be P4P top 5 in my opinion.

lol by having one or two good rounds and being dominated the rest of the fight? Robert Guerrero was very hesitant to try to come inside and work until he was dropped and went for broke. Still, he pretty much smothered himself and Thurman and didn't really land anything significant. Porter is not as a crafty as Guerrero and pretty one dimensional, he'll give Thurman a decent fight but can't see him really being a threat. If Porter thinks he can just bullrush Thurman with those wide looping shots, he'll probably end up on the canvas.

Exactly. Porter is going to come in with no defense and sloppy and Thurman will unload with counter shots and it will result in a KO.

You know people will complain about anything. What site are you on?

It's not a bad fight, but I know the outcome. It's no different to me than Cotto/GGG, I already know the outcome. Most people on here like seeing some get their ass kicked instead of seeing competitive fights, I like competition not sparring sessions.

Also, it would be a champ at 147 vs a top 5 WW right? Why are you guys complaining about Cotto then? It's a MW champ vs a top 5 MW...

This site = Unless I heard of the guy it's a BS fight.

Good fight, now if Khan can grab a decent opponent..

Just yesterday Porter was talking about facing Bradley in the IBF eliminator so we shall see. Thurman thumps up Porter by the way. He has many more dimensions to his fight game.

A good fight like this wont be respected cause itll be on PBC.

Some so called "fans" just love to hate the sport

Thurman's a good fighter but not everybody agrees with your position. He may be better than Porter but to say he's levels above him is a bit extreme. It's inches not feet.
