    And that makes him an elite welterweight today

      Brook did more clutching than boxing but I guess you can say he did a good job on Porter.

        Kell will be lucky to get past Jessie Vargas.

            I guess that was directed at my comment.

            Vargas beating Brook isn't out of the question.
            Kell got slapped around the ring by the dreaded Carson Jones.

              Is this your way of saying you miss Mayweather? All your examples are things Mayweather ddoes intuitively

                You know fine well that the only reason Thurman got the decision today was because he has never lost before, it's a key selling factor in boxing nowadays thanks to ****** casual scrubs like you who only root for guys who you think won't ever lose.
                What a piss poor excuse

                  lets be real......


                  Continuously ducking Porter's shots and countering him with clean shots over and over apparently doesn't count for skills on the outside these days.

                    Or it could simply mean Porters style is tricky for Thurman to deal with. Everyone has certain styles that are tough for them. Hell, Mayweather struggled with Maidana and he isn't terribly skilled, just a good match up stylistically.
