hurd looks huge, according to boxrec he is 4 inches tallerand has a 6.5 inch reach advantage, he seems pretty happy to get inside too though despite his height/reach advantage :SQuote:

I guess it's good for hurd being able to fight this well on the inside but he could also do with keeping it at distance some times, he had a nice jab at the start of the fight and he could control the later fight with it, maybe he needs more experience. Hurd is looking pretty good to me so far though.
Molina was ready to go at the end of the eighth.
Molina took a beating in 8th. Hurd inside and active is a buzzsaw
Wtf was that!!!
Bad timing maybe on the obvious conclusion but Molina was being battered.
I guess a mercy stoppage? I agree bullshit though lol. Hurd is raw but he's got some nice tools.
bit of an odd stoppage there :S i guess molina was staggered slightly and it looked like his reactions had slowed down, doesn't make a difference to the winner i think, also dont think it would have been terrible to let it finish the round.
It was not Chavez/Taylor or anything but Molina was still game and was battling back. It does not do either man justice really.Quote:

Mikey Garcia coming back at 140 in July facing a featherweight also off two yr layoff. Seems fair
No its on basic cable here but Brooks weight does not surprise me. He's a massive welterQuote:

No track meet here. Thurman walking in on him and both caught!
These dudes are unloading!! Porter buzzed him on ropes.
I'm suprused he was able to pin Thurman In one spot for so long
1-1 after two for me so far... porter did good in the 2nd though
thurman needs to land some good shot to slow porter down like he did in the first otherwise he is in toruble :S
Nice shot by Thurman towards the end, clear why this was such a hard one to pick already, two different fights depending where they are. Porter is so wild, but if he has the engine to keep bulling him into the ropes and soaking up the odd bomb, I could see THurman wilting
aha thurman finally managed to get some good shots in there at the end of the 3rd, I would still give it to porter though.. Porter is using up a ton of energy though, can he keep it up ? it will be interesting.. good fight !
Thurman being squared on heels and bombing away! his hands only start when his feet stop. Awesome 3rd round. 2-1 Porter
Thurman's zeroing in on the fact that Porter gets super low Everytime he misses the jab.
Daaaamn. Great exchange!! Thurman on point in 4th
nice work from thurman there he really landed some good work and did some damage, that might have turned the fight in his favour ... i have 2-2 now
Yep, Porter seemed to slow just a little bit and Thurman was shelling him having the room.
Porters slowing and stops exactly in the worst place to be.. Thurman's preprogramming combos now that Shaws not changing ranges like he should
Right hand from the seats by Porter! Can't believe one time walked into that. Like the attitude of Thurman though. 3-2 Thurman
4 2 porter for me but 5th n 6th weren't all that clear
We found out from Brook that Porter can be out gunned and out gunned from a distance. I think we're finding out from Porter how lacking Thurman's inside game is.
4-3 Porter taking last two. Had Thurman playing to him and snuck ugly in 7th. Both have stepped up here, good scrap!
this is actually a really close and fun fight, I am thinking porter is more in control though.
This is a fun fight, both guys are weaker in the others wheelhouse and its wild overall but nice ebb and flow. Thurman really didn't like that body shot towards the end of that round, anything could still happen in this one.
I love this ref, he looks like a drunk dad at a family wedding trying to do the moonwalk :S
body shot had Thurman bent for a second. 8th was razor thin. Its early but bet they do it again ;D Ohhh shit Porter going all Quest for fire! Porter mugging him
Yea lol the ref is really adding to this. Thurman got messed up in that round, hurt cut and his braids unraveled, shit.
I got porter sweeping last few but very close and scores might be all over the place
i am sensing thurman is feeling defeated here :S he isnt looking too comfortable at all
Googly eyed ref breaking when not needed! Bombs at the end
