I think the Thurman fight is at 147. Porter shouldn't have any excuses after this one.

Raise his what? Legacy? He ain't done shizzzzzz yet to even mention that word.A KO might raise his profile and that's the best he can hope for.One Time hasn't KO'd anybody in some time.Lol.

I still don't rate Porter so I don't see why Thurman can not win.

Not happening. Can't wait for Spence to kick his ass.

Dude says this **** but I keep thinking he's gonna fight him like he fought Bundu, all skitterish and moving.

Thurman's 2 major weaknesses is his defense & his chin. If both hold up, he'll get the win. KO or not, he'll get the win. We all saw the sparring match that Kenny Porter says his son dominated...Shawn did not dominate that sparring session. And sparring sessions don't mean anything when you have to consider what a sparring partner was brought in for. So when you analyze both fighter's styles, Porter's style might not be the right approach to beating Thurman...too often he charges in with his head down & letting both hands go, which is defensively irresponsible. And Thurman has the power to put him out if he makes a mistake. I would lean Thurman. But Porter has enough heart to make Thurman look bad if he can connect. Definitely a worthwhile fight.
