Comments Thread For: Team Porter Waiting For Thurman Contract Confirmation

[John Locke]

Well, I'm not going to cry like you are now because you think I've attacked your crush. Settle down, fella.

I wasn't crying, it was a simple question but you've just ignored it. I'll tell you what you'll do. You'll pretend nothing happened and continue being a reactionary ****** who can't think more than 30 seconds ahead.

Hey bro you think porter can hurt keith if he goes to the body hard?

yeah, I think he can definitely trouble him. Porter's problem is that he's sloppy. If he was more accurate I think he could finish him off but he'll definitely bother Keith and have him on the move. It's a toss up fight for me and will come down to what the judges like more.

I told you what I'm going to do, which is not cry about being wrong about it. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Do you want me to issue a public apology because of a comment on a message board? Some of you guys are way too in love with these athletes and cry if someone criticizes them. To me, and many others, it looks like Thurman wants no part of porter and if he does take the fight, it will be begrudgingly. If that offends you, you need to re-evaluate your life.

They wanna fight Thurman now that he's coming off an injury. They weren't so keen before.

LOL.

Firstly, I call things how I see it. If I thought Thurman was ducking Porter, I would say so, I'm a fan of Thurman but I'm a bigger fan of boxing.

I just find it strange that you think Thurman doesn't want the fight when all the evidence suggests otherwise. Thurman offered Porter the fight over a year ago, after Porter beat Alexander, Kenny Porter didn't want it at the time. Thurman recently said he's accepted a Porter fight 3 times and the problem hasn't been from his end. The point is Thurman has made it clear publicly, numerous times, that he would like to fight Porter. So it's extremely ******ed for somebody to think he's ducking, it's based on absolutely nothing, but suit yourself. People see and hear what they want to see and hear, just turn your head the other way when evidence suggests you're wrong.

Except he's publicly accepted the fight numerous times...

Do people think before posting on here? What are you going to say when the fight is officially announced in a few days?

For whatever reason the court of public opinion decided Thurman doesn't want the fight no matter how ****** they look, even now that the fight is basically official. Even when you bring up how Thurman wanted the fight first and has never said anything to suggest that has changed, they'd rather look like morons and say he's ducking.

We've both been over this in other threads, though. Thurman has the combined hate of those who hate Haymon fighters and those who hate punchers. NSB is totally unfair to him. Just let them look ****** since they insist.

[bojangles1987]

But what about "I got a 0 and im not afraid to let it go"? hopefully he signs. If not than **** at least we would know it was all a facade.

Thurman literally just said a week ago, or maybe not even that long, that he has agreed to the fight. Don't worry, he's in.

It really is mind boggling, I can't get my head around it.

But yeah, I think I'll just let them be, some people are just beyond help.

Apparently it's gonna be announced at that SuperBowl thing you yanks love, live on CBS

Thurman is pissing me off.. The old Thurman would had been taken this fight. Maybe his mishaps with Guerrero and Collazo is making him more cautious.
