Comments Thread For: Thurman: If Porter Comes Out Too Aggressive, I Will Back Him Up!

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

Ur forgetting Porter said himself he wasn't drained by any catchweight for Broner in fact said 30 days out from the fight, he was already comfortably at the catch weight, and was strong as ever. Do your homework.

Aside from your misinformation, Porter will make this fight with Thurman look easier than most believe it to be. Porter and his dad know Thurman like a book from back in their amateur days. They've been in the ring together, Porter always coming out on top. If Thurman doesn't have you standing in front of him like Guerrero or Collazo, he's slow, hoping to land a bomb. Porter is way more athletic, better conditioned, he'll cruise thru Thurman, and you'll hear Thurman later say, "Hey, I just had a bad night. I'll be back".

to be fair waht is he gonna say lol "I am draned and feel weak", "I was drained"

Has any boxer ever said this?

No one is going to move their head and avoid every punch. But every time a fighter has ever tried to drain themselves, or drop a division, their punch resistance goes down. It happened to Leonard, Chris Byrd, Chad Dawson, and many others.

A self-drained Algieri sure looked quite effective against Amir Khan.

Thurman didn't look good despite his stoppage of tomato can Collazo. Porter is not physically drained which is ****** for anyone to state. Porter is in the gym always, in shape, his dad is a great trainer. Thurman is getting caught up in the ****** gangster celebrity life, and is about to get a taste of humble pie when Porter easily closes him out.

Lets be honest here, Thurman you suck backing up and you even suck more when being pressed while backing up, we seen how shook you were when Guerrero went for broke against you in the championship rounds all you did was run and try to escape but running to the other side of the ring to kill time out rinse and repeat and I hate to tell you this but porter is 1000x better then guerrero stamina wise and explosiveness wise. Your only hope is to catch him with a checkhook or a straight down the pipe cause otherwise he is getting and is gonna win every second he is on the inside on you.

Let's talk facts from past fights.

- Porter cannot take a flush shot. Broner is not a power puncher. Thurman is.

- Porter's best attack is a head butt. He's down low on One Time. Not happening.

- Porter cannot cut off the ring, we saw that against Paulie. Paulie's problem is that he had no power to keep Porter off him.


I don't think it'll be a straight up domination, but I seriously do not see Porter beating Thurman unless Thurman has an off night. Porter's ring IQ isn't anywhere near Keith's.

Thurman will win this I think, Porter is good but Thurman will catch him at some point.

I'm not impress with Thurman at all. Think porter takes this and takes it convincingly.

[SN!PER]

I love Porter, but if a lazy Broner floored him, Thurman finishes him.

Have to laugh at the people on this site who are giving Thurman a lot of props for taking this battle and giving Porter a good shot... but then turn around and say Brook has a weak resume

Ur an idiot. So he's lying and you know better than his camp, you were on the inside??? Porters performance was outstanding clearly showed no ill/effects of someone who struggled to make weight. You should be drug tested.

Those are not facts. Porter has taken flush shots all the way from middleweights in the amateurs to champions in the pro ranks and has never been stopped or close to being stopped so you are full of sht. And Broner was facing a catchweight drained Porter. And Porter has never won a fights on points from punching with his head, he has from his fists. Pauli was cornered and FYI - Collazo who is not a pressure fighter had Thurman backing up and hurt badly with a body shot so who is it now that cant take a flush shot? And you are now making excuses for Thurman already before the fight if he loses.

I hate to take you to school and torch you with your own gun but NO ONE is ****** enough to believe a fighter is below their best fighting weight a MONTH out. Someone would have to have the IQ of a dead Frog to believe that! Lesson number #2: Fighters almost never talk about being weight drained, not even the OBVIOUSLY drained Brandon Rios at Lightweight. You are WAY too gullible believing everything a fighter says and your statement above emphatically proves that.

That's like saying if Bowe could drop Holyfield cold, Tyson would kill him. That's like saying, if Marroquin could disconnect Rigo from his senses twice, Donaire would put him out. That's like saying if Mosley could rock Floyd, Pac would take him out. That's like saying if the lighter punching Anthony Stevens could buckle the knees of Trinidad, Oscar would put him away. That's like saying if Duran could wobble Leonard like he did in the second round, Hagler would kill Leonard. Rarely does boxing follow a predictable pattern like that. History is littered with guys who were dropped and sometimes stopped by guys not known for their power and then when they faced a huge puncher, they took their shots and didn't go. Thurman has the power to hurt and stop anyone, but don't rely on non dependable analogies. Some people have lost fortunes on triangle theories.

When some guys talked about Rigo having been hurt by Marroquin and that if that was Donaire, Rigo would have been out cold, I told those guys that every fight brings its own dynamics and you cannot count on the a parallel story line to be reproduced just because of the cause and effect between how a fighter responds to one opponents power compared to another,
