What do you think of this fight?
I thought Brook was next in line :confused: not that I wouldn't mind seeing this :) Thurman has been nothing but impressive, Porter showed he can be excellent too with the win over Alexander :o Thurman is my guy though ;)
ive only seen porter in the alexander fight so its hard to really judge but from that limited knowledge and all the times ive seen thurman fight, i think that thurman wins it handily.
Great fight. Showtime vs One Time. Two young, undefeated budding stars going to collide.
This is great matchmaking. This will catapult the winner to among the elite at WW.
Brook is fighting in March in a "tune up" and providing he wins remains mandatory to the IBF belt.
I agree. Really like Thurman in this fight if it happens.Quote:

I hope Thurman wins.
What happened to Kell Brooks?
Yes Porter went from prospect to titlist very fast it feels like. I was surprised he beat Alexander. He's good and def ballsy if he fights Thurman.Quote:

Lol. Brook isn't gonna fight the winner of Porter v Thurman if it happensQuote:

The Diaz fights really made me question Porters ability at the top level. But what he showed against Alexander completely changed those concerns :D This is exactly the type of fight between two young undefeated contenders that we want to see ;DQuote:

Now you win a title and the next fight you face possibly the toughest guy in the division apart from Mayweather. No mucking about with Golden Boy and Showtime.
I like porter cuz he a bad lil nigga like me. Plus I feel he just has raw talent but against Thurman he's gonna need some serious power and defense to win Judging on there last performances. I'm gonna watch some of there fights and will return with an opinion on who's winning.
Isn't it great ;D Thurmans ability to make adjustments and adapt through the fight has been remarkable ;)Quote:

He should at least fight Ortiz..
The Senchenko fight seemed a step in the right direction :rolleyes: Can't see him beating Thurman, or even Porter for that matter :p but I'd like to see the fights :DQuote:
