    Why little to no hype for Thurman vs Porter??

    Pretty sad that one of the exciting and most competitive fight in boxing is getting very little attention despite 2 of the top dogs at 147 in their prime are fighting just couple weeks away, while ****** news about Mayweather-Pac and all that ****sexual bs is getting the attention .

    I think that this fight is a treat for boxing fans and picking Thurman to win a close decision


    Ps: Why there is no masterthread and official poll for this fight??

    There will be hype in the days leading up to it just like every other fight that doesn't involve divas. The nerdbirds only hype divas, they don't care about real fighters.

            Yeah don't get it

            Front page is littered with Mayweather threads talking about who he's f.ucking , a non controversial fight with Pac that happend almost a year ago , crying about his suspected PED use. The guys been retired for close to 6 months give it up.

            But we have Quigg/Frampton coming in a week and no threads on it, Thurman Porter coming up no real talk about it. People should be hyped for these fights

                That's my favourite Thurman fight. Chaves is a very underrated fighter skillwise.

                Gonna watch each guy's last 5 fights when the fight gets closer.

                I like Thurman more and will be supporting him, but I think Porter will outwork and outbox him to a 8-4 type of decision.

                  I can't wait for the fight.Slots are available for someone to make a real statement and show they're top dog in the division.With Mayweather gone and Pacquiao going in April,the division is wide open with numerous fighters looking to establish there place as the main man at the weight.

                  Brook fighting Bizier is weak but if Brook comes through it it sets up for a clash with Thurman-Porter winner,what's not to like.Garcia came through his bout and if Bradley beats Pac maybe they can fight it out.

                    Idk...I watched Porter/Brook and Porter/Diaz. Thurman has a lot he can do negate him.
