No excitement for Thurman Vs Porter

I'm kind of looking more forward to the fight's result, than the actual fight itself. I'll watch it but, i'm not expecting a classic.
But the WW division is a bit grouped up at the minute, ranking-wise, and this fight should help towards clearing things up a little.Comment

It is like a sine function; there are peaks and minimums, you have to understand that.
You cannot expect always being in the peak.
Suddenly will appear new boxing PPV stars that put the sport in the mainstream media again but I do not care about that.
I just enjoy the sport; there are always good fights.
You are talking like boxing is going to die or something like that; this is never going to happen.Comment

Boxing is seriously in the toilet amongst casual fans, I work with about 100 other guys and all I hear talked about is fking UFC 200 or whatever the fk it is in July...not one guy has said a word about the fight Saturday night... If it's not Mayweather or Pacquaio people just don't know or care about it. I don't blame HBO- showtime-PBC for cutting budgets and bad ratings, boxing is just a dead sport and I don't see how anything short of a Tyson type character coming along will change it...
PBC will probably be gone when the money dries up, HBO can't afford to pay for big fights now so everything is going to PPV, showtime lost half its viewers from 2 years ago...Why can't the sport gain any traction with the younger audience? Is it only close to 40 guys like me and older that Keep boxing alive? And of course Mexicans lol...
Why aren't you excited for Thurman-Porter?
As a boxing fan I'm very excited for this fight.Comment

Now because of the UFC young fans who should be becoming boxing fans are becoming UFC fans instead, come on just look at the typical UFC fan. They predominately young, white americans.
I bet the amount of boxing fans from eastern europe or former soviet countries have increased also, they support their own.
White americans are more likely to support fighters in the UFC because theyre supporting their own countrymen. Its normal.
Not saying race is everything because there are so many other variables such as the promotion of sports, the fights theyre willing to make, sport personalities, entertainment etc but it is a significant factorComment

I think Thurman can walk Shawn into something. I can also see Shawn out-working and grinding the heck outta Thurman, but the problem I have with Shawn is that he smothers his own work. I don't have a dog in the race though, just hoping for a good fight. We need these guys to start fighting each other and separating themselves in the welterweight division
Going to a fight party and grilling some kangaroo steaks. If you haven't had kangaroo you gotta try it man
I never had a kangaroo steak. I wouldn't even know where to buy one ha
I'm doing the usual get together with lots of beer and some sort of food
Let's hope for an exciting card and especially main eventComment
