Easy win for Thurman, IMO.

Porter is an easy win for no one.

Yep. If Porter can give Thurman that in your face all night deal that he gave Broner it'll be a highly competitive fight. I think Thurman will be able to create distance better doe. I'm picking Thurman to win by decision, but its a close fight & I could easily see Porter coming out on top if Thurman isn't on the top of his game or even if he is.

Thurman might win, but I want him to walk away tested. Pushed to the brink. Stared at the face of death.

I'm sure he'll try to. Thurman best unload that power early to make him think twice about rushing in. Take away that bullrush from porter and the rest should be pretty straight forward for thurman. If he doesn't make him pay for it then it could get interesting....

I just want to see what happens when Porter lands flush on his chin.

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.

A very close fight imo. Whoever imposes their will on the other and can adapt more efficiently.

Porter isn't a big puncher. Thurman would need to get his ass whipped for multiple rounds to get stopped.

Since when is Porter not a big puncher? He can drop Thurman with a good combo imo.
