Comments Thread For: Thurman-Porter in Play For March 5 on CBS

Wow. Yea they better not have it the same night that's just asking for disaster

Don't think they'd move it a week back either because don't think they'd want to play right after them in Vegas after, what I assume, will be a big UFC event.

If they do it March 12, would have to be elsewhere

Was told earlier today the @KeithThurmanJr @ShowtimeShawnP fight would likely be moved to March 12 due to the fact McGregor going March 5

So fat Dan is saying that there is a rumor that PBC is already having money problems says they won't have any spike or espn shows till march and nothing scheduled for NBC. Lol

Come on man, you think Thurman dominated Collazo?

I like Thurman but he has become more cautious and looked poor in his last three fights.

I do think he dominated, Collazo landed a nice body shot in the 3rd or 4th IIRC stunned Thurman for a bit , But Keith recovered and continued the beat down and made Collazo quit which I think is his first time doing that. That's not scrapping by

I wouldn't say he's looked poor, He pitched a shutout against Bundu it wasn't really exciting but he did what he needed to do. Guerrero was a good fight and I think he won about every round.

While I agree I'm not blown away from his last 3 fights ,I think you might have set the bar to high of your expectations of him. He's doing what he needs to do and has lost maybe 2 rounds in 3 fights

I guess when I say poor, what I mean is that he hasn't looked as impressive as he was.

The level of his opposition has not really increased yet he has appeared more cautious and less explosive.

He is doing what he needs to do, but I really think he needs a statement win against a top WW.

IMO the Porter fight is make or break fight for both.

Is this Danny? Where did Dan get that info...I mean rumors are just that but the question is holding off on those networks..does that mean a loss in revenue or stronger investments in others? I personally think that PBS should take bully approach and go at these big UFC fights. Shiiii I mean Thurman Porter is a pretty big fight too. MF MMA. ;-) That's how I would do it but got complete trust in the big boss until he fails. If this os Danny good luck end of month. It's a tough fight fo sho- cool your dad and Ruben G didn't get with it. I'm their age and I know 80's guys don't take much **** and then they're off like wild Hyenas. ha ha
