Since most of you don't rember, Thurman was injured in a car accident so he is more then likely behind schedule in training. But many of you also failed to notice the muscle bulk he has put on. It is evident that Thurman has been putting on more muscle in this training camp, which tied with the accident recovery is more than likely slowing his weight loss. His camp probably feels loosing a little speed won't hurt against Porter since porter is just coming straight in anyway. Plus let's face it, Brook didn't defeat Porter with speed. So this gives you a little incite to the fight plan, I think Thurman chooses his shots early, then starts to use his size and strengtg advantage as the fight goes on.

Thurman boxes, he doesn't use physicality. I doubt he's stronger that porter as well. Brook is bigger than Thurman and porter and porter was roughing him up.
This is gonna be accuracy vs workrate.. I don't think Thurman will be active enough to win rounds. Thurman is gonna run. Brook stood in front of porter landing a laser jab and right hand the clinched his away to victory.. Thurman jab isn't as good as brooks

Not in the fight I watched. Porter tried to rough Brook up but wasn't able to and Brook held Porter on the inside because it was easy to do so.

I think you should re-read my post. Keith is a far superior puncher compared to Brook, with the same reach at 69". As I said in my previous post, Keith looks like he is putting on more muscle in this training camp, which indicates that he may not be planning to move very much. He is probably going to move a little in the beginning, don't be surprised if he starts sitting on his punches, and is more flat footed as the fight goes on. Keith and Porter are pretty much the same size, but the way Porter fights, hunched over chin tucked, Thurman will be the bigger man in the ring. And I question how many fights you have seen with Thurman, he is pretty accurate with a quick, snappy, heavy jab.
