Sure.

How much man?

10% of all the points I have in my bank.

I got Porter mauling Thurman.

Deal.

I'll sig it.

3.1 quad.

Thurman knows how to operate against pressure fighters, he fought well against guerrero until he somehow gassed in the last 2 rounds.

But I dont rate Porter that much, he is difficult to fight, if you dont have decent footwork, because he just rushes in all the time and stays way to close so that you have difficult to get off. (Its also why Porter smothers his offense)

He looked good against Broner because broner has no foot movement to avoid pressure fighter and doesnt counter them getting in.

I'd be surprised if it was that big a factor. He wouldn't go through with this if the injury was bad enough to lose him the fight.

Thurman is the more skilled fighter here, he is at his best against pressure fighters, and it will simply be a matter of whether he has the intelligence and composure to keep control of Porter. I think he does. Maybe Shawn proves me wrong.

I don't know about all that, but I have a gut feeling that it's going to end up being a clinch fest

What fights are you talking? This has never happened, he's clearly defeated everybody he's faced.

In my eyes he was capable of taking many guys out before the fight ended, he is clearly undefeated, but he was capable of taking Collazo, Guerrero, Karass and Bundo before the time he did.

I still don't see what is supposed to be so good about Porter.
He is strong and physical with a good tank but the guy is pure sloppy, predictable and should be very easy to dictate and time on his way in.

Bounce, bounce, lunges in face first behind something thrown from 3 streets away then proceeds to smother himself. He's more like an MMA fighter than he is a boxer.

I think Thurman picks him apart.
His jab, footwork, ring I.Q, timing.
I don't see him losing to a fighter like Shaun Porter.

All that right there.

[Kigali]

Thurman doesn't hit as hard nor is he as physically strong or as tall as Brook.

So adopting that plan might just backfire.
