    unless porter's chin is very bad i don't know if thurman will stop him. he didn't stop bundu after hurting him, and bundu was following in straight lines all night. he also didn't stop a shot guerrero in a similar situation. he knocked him down had him hurt and in the next round guerrero was all over him.

      So since Thurman didn't stop Bundu he won't stop Porter..

      That's the logic people used to dismiss the notion that Spence would KO Algeri.
      Since Pac didn't stop him,surely Errol Spence Jr won't.

      Boxing isn't like that,casual fan.

              Thurman is not getting dominated, Porter needs to get close and Thurman has the footwork to keep his distance and work off of Porter's recklessness. One thing I admire about Thurman is that he'll do his all to survive if hurt, so I think he's ready for this entirely.

                Bundu kept changing stances, his guard, trying to lure Thurman into something and Thurman played it smart and dominated. Porter is straight up and down, constant lunging and wide hooks.

                  I've heard that his training was altered because of the accident and probably didn't get a good amount of sparring rounds in.

                  I don't like making excuses for fighters but this might be a legit one.

                  He might not be 100% on Saturday
                  I have a feeling that Porter is going to beat him up and bully him around in there. Thurman didn't put in the work for this camp and he didn't want the fight but he will man up and take his whooping. After 3 rounds he will start tiring out and from there, Porter is going to have his way with him. I think Thurman hits the deck at least once and somehow, it isn't ruled a KD and that he will be allowed to freely hold as much as he wants.

                    Man....

                    Stop wasting boxing knowledge on these casual as.s mofos.

                    Bundu is a nightmare for anybody at 147 for the reasons you stated.

                    He gives different looks...plus he's awkward, and strong as an ox..

                    Bundu didn't give Thurman anything to hit after the KD.
