    This was like Argentina (Thurman) vs Netherlands (Porter) in the World Cup.

    Argentina edged it out but will go on to lose against Germany (Spence) in the Finals.

      Porter has one hell of a chin. Keith won the fight.

      It was similar to Maidana Floyd 1.

        Great fight could have gone either way.

        My brothers and I scored the fight close for Porter.

        Pops gave it to Thurman but said it was close! Mauro Ranallo and Paulie Malignaggi were clearly in the tank for Thurman.

        Good thing I'm not blind because they were broadcasting a one way fight! C- on the main event!

        Fight of the year candidate for sure!

        We definitely need to see a part II!

          I can't score close fights live... but I thought that the judges would have scored it 116-112 for Thurman...

              He was overpowered.

              Brook was stronger than Porter and had no issues stopping him in his tracks, while Porter was tying Thurman up and pushing him to the ropes.

              Thurman got hit clean a number of times, but he was much better on the outside. Close fight.

                The fuck you want him to do, analyze his feelings on Sigmunds Freuds couch afterwards?

                He handled himself just fine.
                What do I want him to do? I don't care what he does.

                You're saying he acted like a class act. I'm questioning that claim. He just lost a close fight and he's acting passive aggressively, talking about how he ran and things of that nature.

                    fight went like i thought it would, porter rushing in and thurman countering. porter stylistically would give floyd the toughest fight out of everyone at 147. if he can take thurmans bombs for 12 rounds he can take floyds.

                      It was good fight, it was great for free TV

                      I thought Thurman was the clear winner in a close fight i scored 7-5 Thurman

                      Porter is just to wild in the ropes n swarms hes attack, unlike Maidana bull rushes you to the ropes but sits a little more n lands punches unlike Porter just throws wild

                      Thurman landed big head shots,

                      Rematch wouldnt mind, but id like to see the rematch be build up again at the top, Porter with some wins
