    Great fight. This is something I can definitely watch over and over.

    I knew this was a tough fight to call because each fighter seemed like they had something for the other...and surely, it turned out to not only be a close fight but a great one too.

    This may have brought some life back into the welterweight division.

    A rematch? Definitely!

      Just curious, how far up did Sky Sports have Porter in the fight?

        They had Thurman winning, so did Kell Brook

          Porter wouldn't be as effective as Maidana was.

              That was a good fight.

              I had it 7-5 One Time. I'd like too see a rematch.

              They were both coming off long layoffs.

                  Porter is packing granite man, that AB knockdown fooled a lot of people. Nobody at 147 is stopping Porter, he's already fought the biggest punchers at the weight and neither came close to stopping him

                  The man is a rock

                      If Maidana comes back to ww he would put Porter out cold.

                      I agree with everything else you say here though, and the way the current division stands now, I don't see anyone KOing him, though I do see guys like Bradley and Brook(again) beating him on points.
