    Well I thought he won that fight, but yeah him. What's your point though? Anyone can have an off night. Porter comfortably beat him in the rematch. Look at Brook vs Jones 1, Brook was pushed to the limit. It doesn't mean Jones is anywhere near his level.

    Porter is an underrated boxer and won't be easy to beat, like I said I would pick Thurman to edge out a UD but it will be close and competitive.

            However, AB is so mediocre I wouldn't be surprised if a washed up Judah still gave him fits.

              If that happens , Broner destroys Judah. Judah had a great career but he's done.

                I'm with you. I wouldn't be shocked if Judah managed to make it competitive or even pull the upset.

                War Zab!

                  Would love to see Zab kick AB's ass but it ain't happening. Zab is way past his best and a shadow of what he was 10 years ago. He is being used as a steppingstone for AB.

                    Oh you're probably right, but sometimes that **** backfires...

                      I think Porter is rated just fine. He was overhyped after beating Malignaggi. He's just not that good. I see a lot of people talk about his power but he was never a power puncher. He's a strong guy, sure, but he's not a strong puncher and he doesn't really have the skills.

                      Thurman may not stop him, but he definitely beats him comfortably.

                      There's a reason Kenny Porter didn't want it when Shawn had a belt.
