lot's of mention of sparring being held back which was a wise choice given the nature off the injury and all..

I'm still on the fence as who to pick for a winner for the thurman/porter fight but part off me is slightly favouring thurman to be the victor..

I heard there was hardly any sparring.

Neck injuries are serious and take a very long time to repair. I doubt he did much sparring at all.

Porter needs to go play football, cuz he's a terrible boxer who just plows into people with his head down like a linebacker.

Peek-A-Boo style done sloppy.

as far as Thurman, seems like there's one issue after another with him leading up to this fight yet he didn't seem to have these issues before other fights. It's Fury/Haye and Fury/Klitschko all over again.

Sounds like an excuse after the loss

Neck injury??? Oh boy this could be a boring right with Thurman keeping safe

[PunchyPotorff]

An accident waiting to happen this guy. Just hope a photographer gets a shot of 'that look' when Porter connects. One for the ages.
