Comments Thread For: Thurman-Porter In Discussion, Not Yet Finalized

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Talks have intensified of a pending welterweight showdown between Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter, a mouthwatering clash that has been in development for weeks but still not quite yet finalized.

A working date of December 12 is in place, but several matters still need to be worked out before the deal can be announced as final - such as location and network. The fight will definitely air as part of the Premier Boxing Champion (PBC) series; the likely scenario is for the fight to headline on free-to-air NBC in primetime, although there exists an outside possibility of running on ESPN immediately following network coverage of the college football Heisman Award presentation earlier that evening.

[John Locke]

So it looks like the fighters have agreed the most important details between them, just formalities like network and location left to do.

Porter can only win by KO here; he isn't as young or as hyped as the bum-man, Thurman.

All we need now is Khan-Garcia II and we've finally got some good WW match-ups to end a lacklustre year of boxing.
