    Is Thurman vs Porter already top 2-3 FOTY candidate?

    Realize it is very very important in the bigger scope of things. I hope Crawford vs Postol does well, however, if it doesn't well....

    Kovalev vs Ward?

    Will there be imposing forces at play in not acknowledging Thurman vs Porter on free, mainstream TV? I say all this because of Arum addressing concern regarding Postol vs Crawford PPV.

    The broadcast quality for Thurman vs Porter was very vivid with high quality definition too.

      respects to them, but Vargas and Salido are not as good as Thurman or Porter. I actually favor Vargas stealing the belt from Miura over the Salido bout.


      Yes, HD is actually 720p, FullHD is 1080p, and UHD is 4K. The cameras used during production make a difference.

        Actually they are better. Salido got robbed vs Rocky in the rematch and beat Juanma twice, Lomachenko which is as good as Thurman has done and way more than Porter has done. Porter actually isn't even a Very skilled fighter. He almost always suffocates his own offense with his crude bulrushes and mauling. He can't fight on the inside.

        Vargas win over Miura is as good as any Porter win plus at least Vargas and Salido can both fight on the inside. There was a lot of flailing with nothing but air being hit in Thurman vs Porter. Again it was a good fight. Probably the 2nd or 3rd best of the year so far but not close to Salido vs Vargas

          Mikey showed what Salido was and Vargas is a drug cheater. Hopefully Loma KOs him.

                  And Paulie, who said Pacquiao is drug cheater says the same thing about Porter using them drugs. No shame in losing to Mikey even though Mikey was coming on. Porter lost to Brook who had beaten NOBODY up to that point. Only good win on Porter's resume is a fat out of shape Broner who many thought lost to a shot Paulie Malignaggi lolol.

                  Again both fights were good but if you watch the inside fighting by Salido and Vargas and then Thurman-Porter its not existent. Thurman is a good fighter but Porter smothers his own shots and really isn't a good fighter. Definitely not on Salido's level who has fought way better competition.

                    Do you know boxing? Do you think watch Thurman and Porter flail, especially Porter and hit nothing but air is great boxing? Neither guy has an inside game and Porter fights by just bull rushing in. It is very crude and not that effective. He suffocates his own offense. If it wasn't for that he would have beat Porter.

                    Respect the two division champ Salido who ko'd juanma twice, beat Lomachenko da gawd and really beat Rocky in the rematch.
