    Thurman, I think his movement won't allow Brook to get positioned, I think Thurman will utilize feints to lure Brook in as well. It's one of those fights that will remain somewhat competitive until Thurman catches him with a right hook around the guard and shakes him up.

      This is one of those fights that has to be made, and is one of the best match ups in the 147 division . This is to close to call, I did vote for Thurman by decision in a very close fight. If this fight does happen I would root for Brook, I like his style of fighting.

        If boxing was an actual organized, structured sport, these 2 should be fighting in an eliminator for floyd


        I think it's a great fight and too close to tell...

          Right now this is THE fight to be made at 147lbs. These two are honestly #1 and #2 in the division, they just need to fight to decide who is actually #1.

          I'm going with Thurman in this matchup, but it's really a 50/50 fight at the moment.

              That's why I was saying Bundu would have been a tolerable fight for Brook, instead of Gavin. We could have had a sense how each fighter did with a common opponent. Brook took the loser in the Bundu/Gavin fight, instead of the winner. The Gavin fight was an absolute joke for this hypejob.

                Thurman has wins over: The Ghost, Julio Diaz (draw with Porter), Jesus Soto Karass, Diego Gabriel Chaves, Leonard Bundu (destroyed Frankie Gavin)

                Brook has : Porter

                Brook had a very close win against a overrated Porter, with many people saying it was a draw, although i had Kell winning by 2 rounds.


                You'd have to honestly favor Thurman

                Brook is still unknown, we have only seen him in the ring with one style of boxer at a high level.

                    Bundu destroyed Gavin?? How is a split decision a destruction?

                      I had it a UD

                      Gavin shud have also lost to Skeet, lucky to get the nod in that fight

                      Regardless my point still stands as far as Thurman fighting a number of different styles.

                      Thus far we know more about Thurman than we do about Brook.
