I put draw.....

imo 1st flush punch can win the fight.....

Thurman has more skills so he'll likely set up porter with something.

Would like for porter to go balls to walls and jump on top of thurman from the get go

[bojangles1987]

Thurman will keep Porter hesitant with his counterpunches and win a decision.

[therealpugilist]

Thurman wins.....he is the more versatile fighter....He has the edge in speed, power, and is a little rangier

Porter is a little raw, he'd probably be the physically stronger of the two. Guerrero had success vs Thurman when he made the fight rough and in a phone booth

I think Thurman ekes out a win in a close but clear win in an entertaining fight. Both are you hungry fighters

[John Locke]

I think people are underrating Porter, he can definitely win this fight.

I'm a big fan of both guys, more so of Thurman, but there's a good chance Porter pulls off a mini upset imo. He can outwork Keith.

It's as close to a 50-50 fight as you can get though.

Agreed. Definitely a pick'em fight.

What makes you think Thurman can take his punches long enough to win a decision?

[Santa_]

Thurman by wide UD maybe even late stoppage.

Porter is tailor made for him.

Oops voted Porter by accident.

[Mr. Punch-Out!!]

Porter can make the fight rough and he's good at fighting in a clinch but he still tends to leave himself open too often after his attacks, which is not good up against a guy like Thurman.

Really hard to call...but that's what makes matchups like this so interesting.
