Comments Thread For: Porter: Broner Dropped Me, So Thurman Thinks He Can Get KO

[JULIEN44]

Shawn Porter doesn't elude or try to duck his knock down...

Big respect for that. I will be stronger.

For me it's 50/50.

But being fan of both, I'm uncomfortable.

Yeah i think it does go the distance but if there is a chance of one of them getting knocked out its probably Thurman

It's the other way around imo. Porter isn't that big of a puncher and a lot of the work he does is scruffy, no chance he stops Thurman. Thurman has a far greater chance of stopping Porter.

If somebody is gonna stop Thurman, they will have to do damage with a single punch and that guy ain't Porter.

I've actually picked Porter to win a UD, although I like Thurman more, Porter is very underrated

The fact thurman has been hurt or even wobbled at times against lesser opposition gives me a feeling Porter can do the same maybe even ko him. Porter isn't the biggest puncher, your right about that. But thurman doesnt exactly have the best chin. I think porter will have to break him down.

Both fighters will take the overly cautious approach which is understandable but will turn out to be a boring fight, overall. They will both abandon their natural styles and adopt a ultra conservative defensive style.
I just hope it gets of em KOd bcuz nothing annoys me more then a fighter who drops his own style and tries to be like Floyd

That KD even shocked Porter. He didn't even look hurt, he was looking up before he even hit the mat like, "Did that seriously just happen?"

Thurman can hurt him though, and if Porter gets caught right he can be stopped. Thurman is a much bigger puncher than Broner and a much sharper counter puncher.

Thurman was momentarily hurt against Karass who I would say has similar kind of power to Porter, he was never in any trouble, he just got clipped with a good shot. Porter may not even land a punch that clean all fight and if he does, we've Thurman can bite down and fight, he isn't going anywhere.

Imo Porter should start off boxing with Thurman, Thurman is very impatient and reckless when he fights coming forward, he's better on the backfoot. If Porter is the aggressor, he makes it a tougher fight for himself.

You picking Thurman?

Thurman's power is overrated imo. I don't see him being capable of stopping Porter.
