    I really don't think Thurman is durable enough to deal with Shawn. I could be wrong but I am pretty sure on this. I see Porter busting up Keith's chin and destroying his body. Yes, Thurman can put Porter down -- and even out -- but Porter's chin is solid.
    Thurman is this generation's diego corrales.. Decent skills, can get dragged into wars, power to bail him out.. Thurman much like Corrales will give us plenty of memorable fights winner or lose.

    I expect thurman v Porter to be a great battle, but eventually thurman will land the big counter bomb and change the fight

      I see this as a pretty 50/50 fight. I think how successfully or unsuccessfully Thurman deals with Porter's pressure will decide the fight. If a gun was put to my head I'd still suggest the 3k is better put on the under for Kovalev vs Pascal II, but if further threatened I'd go with Thurman.
      So you think Thurman can outbox Porter? It's certainly possible. But I'm betting on what I feel is most probable -- a Porter win.

      Here's how I see it.

      Porter puts One Time on the floor two times early, one time late to a easy decision.

      Or Shawn KO's Thurman early.

            Very risky bet. Best of luck to you.

            I guess I'm leaning Porter but it's hard to say.

              Between who?? Porter n thurman or thurman n corrales...


              If talking about thurman n corrales, I would say diego was more skilled, slightly,,, and thurman isn't as "chinny" and alittle more durable.. But a lot of similarities between the 2

                Do you think I can afford a trey stack bet or should I make a more conservative wager?

                  I meant between Thurman and Porter.

                    Porter isn't difficult to neutralize, Brook showed us that. Thurman won't even have to do as much holding as Brook because he has much better legs than Brook.

                      Nah lol unless you're printing money you don't wanna bet big on this fight, it's as 50-50 as they come. I'm a big fan of both guys, I can't decisively pick a winner, I keep changing my mind. I might do a my first youtube prediction vid when they announce the fight tonight

                      I think Porter is a better boxer than people think, he could surprise a few people.
