Like both these guys but think this might turn into a clinchfest

This is going to be a 12 round chess match.

Porter is getting the **** beat out of him. 12 or not.

I was thinking the same thing. I think Porter will try to box, but as soon as he gets something big, he just smothers and swarms. This one might get ugly

porter made to order for thurman

he just rushes straight at his opponent and takes punishment.
if you cannot knock him out with all your 'supposed' power at this stage in your career that's not saying much.
beat him so we can watch you beat brook then get schooled by garcia

I think Porter learns from his mistakes and only smothers Thurman when he's in danger. I would love to see him use lateral movement and keep his gloves up at all times and dig to Thurman's body with quick uppercuts consistently.

If I'm Porter, I do lots of low feint to get Keith to thow a jab and then smother the right hand, then laterally move into position to dig uppercuts into the body.

Make run time expose the right hand so you can do work downstairs.

I expect run time to do lots of moving and clinching. Porter by 11th round TKO!!!

^^^^ dude is wholly average and benefits from being a guy with a middleweight frame that can squeeze to 147 with discipline


his speed is average, his skills are average, his power is average and his technique is average and he gets sloppy

whether its a ko or all 12 rounds, all i see is thurmans hand being raised in the end

I just never saw what he was that had some posters like " he ducking porter" " porter will do this and that"....why? because kenny porter said so?

This one has 12 rounds written all over it. Keith hasn't been setting the hay on fire since that stoppage of Diego Chaves ages ago. Shame really as I thought he was going to kick up a storm. I can't even imagine Porter winning this.

Fact, all facts. Any fight that is not signed within NSB guidelines is a "duck"....
