    Does Kell Brook's Porter win look better after Thurman's performance?

    Kell Brook's win was a clear 116-112 with an argument for 117-111. No one reputable at scoring scored it for Porter. Brook also rocked Porter a few times but Porter never once rocked/stunned or even caught Brook with a huge punch.

    Thurman's win on the other hand has scoring all over with quite a lot of people saying it should have been a draw. Thurman was rocked multiple times and didn't look as good and was a tough win for Thurman while Brook won his pretty easy.

    Thoughts?

    Brook didn't rock Porter like Thurman did, he buzzed him a couple times but Thurman actually buckled him. Also the only time Thurman was hurt in the fight was from the body shot and that was very brief.

    I had both Brook and Thurman winning 8-4/7-5, but Brook won his rounds more clearly I think. Both wins are impressive though, no doubt, a lot of people underrate Porter, I don't see anybody else except Spence and maybe Sammy Vasquez beating Porter at 147 atm.

      Of course. Nothing against Thurman but he sneak that win and could have gone either way, he was the champ so he got the nod, Brook - Porter was close as well but more so because Porter was the champion.

        No not really

        Thurman Resume>Kell Brook which is why I have him #1 at Welterweight and Kell a close 2nd

        But no styles make fights, Tringle Theories are a complete JOKE in a boxing and it means absolutely nothing! Ali Struggled with Ken Norton and Frazier, Foreman destroyed both of them but lost to Ali

        We will find out who is better the Proper way if both keep winning!

            Na. Thurman went out there ans fought and didnt clinch porter everytime he was on the ropes or even got close to him he decided to trade on the inside with porter which made it more exciting, but he did get hit more because of it. He could have made it easier on himselr had he clinched him all night like brook did.

              Well Brook averaged 14 clinches per round so Thurman's win was better and more entertaining.

                Thurman didnt play it safe, i was more impressed with Thurman

                I think Thurman could of done something similar, but he was trying to knock Porter out

                  He's not physically as strong as Brook. I don't think he could have clinched as effectively. Shawn was outmuscled in the clinch by Kell.

                    They beat Porter in different ways, but both were clear in my opinion.
