    Speak for yourself buddy! Everyone here in Mexico is jumping up and down every day talking about the fight. Me and our tribe in Guadalajara are happy we get a real fight from real men unlike saul who we have disowned!

      Not for long.

      By the time those guys are GGG's age they'd be able to buy 10 of those goofy looking mofos.

          Possibly but we are talking about right now not 10 years from now.

            As a boxing fan I'm very excited for this fight.
            I am personally, I meant there's just no buzz in general...its just sad that nobody follows boxing anymore.. I can't wait to watch it!

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
              That was a hard left hook that Broner dropped Porter with but I was surprised he had the power to drop him at all. Thurman's power is a tad overrated but I would think he has a little more power than Broner.

              But if Thurman isn't able to find that shot or break Porter down, he is really going to struggle to outbox him. And I want to see how he reacts to the pressure. I like this fight because it's going to reveal what these guys really have inside and I think Porter can ask those questions.

                    C'mon Larry, people are excited cause we finally get a fight that will start separating these dudes at welterweight and clearing up the picture. For some reason I have a feeling this may be it for the year though in the division. I don't consider Brook vs Vargas as big cause I don't rate Vargas high at all, he beat a freaking prospect to get that WBO belt.

                    But anyway we need to start getting some clarity as to who is gonna be the man at 147. This fight will start moving us toward that direction.

                      These are the types of match-ups that lead to fighters becoming part of the "elite". It's comparable to Bradley/Alexander, two guys who are good and the winner will start being perceived as a potentially great fighter.
