    Thurman is a wise kid... It's impossible not to like him.

      I respect any athlete that talks the talk and walks the walk...thus far he has backed up his statements....."Don't duck me Thun, don't duck me thun!!!"

          Also OP I think you underrate Porter, he's got very good athleticism and good skill. When he uses his jab it's very crisp and sharp, he doubles up on it and causes the opponent fits. He's got very fast hands (when he's not throwing wide) and feet, the problem is his ring IQ lets him down sometimes, like Bradley, he gets carried away.



          Watch the first few rounds of that for example, he's easily outboxing Diaz who's a decent fighter himself, then he loses discipline, abandons a gameplan that was working very well and gives Diaz a way back into the fight.

          Porter has got quicker hands and feet than Thurman, but Thurman throws sharper, more accurate punches. Imo Porter should try off trying to box Thurman, if it doesn't work, go to plan B and try get inside, outwork him etc.
          Porter has faster feet because he sacrifices his balance to get in quicker. Skill wise Pirter isn't in the same level as Bradley and isn't as natural of a fighter. So even though Bradley loses focus his superior fighting ability carries him through.

          I don't think this fight will be close. Thurman knocks Shawn out mid fight.

            and thurman is a big 147lb that came down from 154 to fight smaller dudes, so basically the same kinda shit.

              I got Porter for this. I think he takes Thuman into deep waters and drowns him.
