I see you're continuing your little fantasy cycle in your head. Pick a fighter to win, ALWAYS get it wrong, discredit the other guy. Rinse and repeat.

That's been him for a while now too

Man it's incredible, how can you not get tired of being wrong so many times. He did the exact same thing with Guerrero vs Thurman

Porter lost. Thurman won. Those were the results. Shawn allowed Thurman to take control in rounds 9,10 and 11. Shawn looks sloppy. Both of these guys are trash and so is Kell Brook. Spence will run them out of the WW division, then they will all get beat up by Canelo.

thing about porter is hes a tough soab but i always see him losing close fights to the thurmans, brooks, bradleys etc

Guerrero vs Mayweather

controlling the pace and landing clean effective punches is two different things

Whether he looked comfortable or not means nothing. Did Porter look comfortable at range? NO he did not

thats why it was a good clash of styles. Porter shouldve got no better than a draw.

He smothered himself, landed some good body shots but there were few rounds where they were clear for Porter. Thurman had rounds he won clearly and close rounds he won.

I can see a draw for Porter but thats mostly scoring for aggression, whether it was effective or not is another story

Yeah that's why it was such a good fight. Neither guy was super effective at getting their styles off.

There were rounds Porter won purely by pressuring Thurman while he was just trying to catch and shoot while mostly missing.Thurman's game plan was to counter Porter all night because he couldn't fight with him on the inside.

You're right about Porter smothering his own work but he still landed more damaging punches to me. Thurman might have landed the more eye catching punches but that's because they were mostly counters.

Porter looked more comfortable to me and Thurman let the fight go the ropes many times and he got man handled. Even if you think Thurman won more rounds he still got his ass kicked lol he didn't win the fight thats for sure he might have won on the cards but Thurman knows he got his ass beat.

Who's down for Pacquiao Vs Thurman??? lol TBH I wouldn't even mind seeing Bradley Vs Thurman lol Bradley does better with Orthodox fighters anyways.

[MC Hammer]

I thought Porter won and the fans at at the arena thought he won. Brook's #1, Shawn's #2, you're #3.

Well the opinion that counts belong to the judges, and they saw it for Keith. So you're wrong and every list from now on will show that you are wrong.

I can see where you're coming from up until the bolded. Keith did more damage through out the fight and had him staggered a few times. Other than that body shot that put keith in his running shoes, i didn't see much in terms of damage coming from Shawn. He was aggressive, but the punches were limited due to how close he was on Thurman.

You called two of the top ten welter trash and believe Spence will run them out, do you even watch boxing?
