    Rewatched round 8 twice, only round I struggled with.

    So either 8-4/ 7-5 Thurman, can't see it any other way personally. Also, credit to Thurman, the energy he brought in the last 2 rounds, it's like he said to himself time to take it home. Thurman looked as energized as the early rounds while Porter couldn't pick it up for the last 2.
    Exactly how I see it.

    Round 8 was a strange one, Thurman recovered very quickly from that body shot, Porter didn't even try and jump on him, I haven't seen the replay of the exact shot but it might have landed on Thurman's hip and that might be what hurt him briefly

    He landed some some flush counters in the last minute of the round to make it razor thin round

      Yea i hear yea. Going into the 12th i was so jacked about the fight i truly didnt score it. I wanted both guys to win. But yea Thurman was definitely finishing the fight strong. Im sure if i was to rewatch the 12th id prolly have given it to thurman.

      Geez i havent been this jacked about a fight like this in a long time.

            Yea there were no losers in that fight. Porters stock rose in defeat just as much as thurmans did in winning. When you get a fight like that you know both fighters were daring to be great that night. I'll watch these guys fight always. I just hope that Haymon doesn't start to ram tomato cans down there throat now that they made a huge impression on the fans. He needs to keep their flames burning.

              6-6

              the 4 who voted porter 8-4 must be shawn, his dad, his cut man, and his football coach

                8-4 Thurman. Porter fought his ass off though. Props.

                  Porter won easily. 2 or 3 big shots aren't enough to win rounds against a stiff jab, hard body punches and several head shots each round. Watch it again,......the first 6 or 7 rounds, Thurman was getting an ass whooping and he looked worried and bruised.
