Re: Thurman vs Porter December 12th?
For me the jury is out on bradley for the time being. Guy has a remarkable will but i think its cost his body plenty, even though hes know for being in great shape. So the wars plus we have to see how he continues on without joel diaz and does under atlas. Also we'll see if i what diaz says about tims wife pulling a Jin mosely is true.
As for Porter vs thurman. Thurman seems to be easier to pressure than we may have anticipated in the beginning. This may work well for Porter as he is got more muscle at the weight that Guerrero did. However i dont think he will have the guerreros benefit of experience /ring IQ. The worst part of this for porter is that hes really not hard to find and thurman will definitely use his jab and move his feet more than Broner. Will he do it as well as brook did? probably not because thurman on his bike seems to take the edge off his power, but cant help but plant and go on the offensive every once in a while. That's where the opportunities could like for porter if he throws with thurman. Im pretty sure kenny porter reminds his kid everyday of the broner scored that knock down and the momentary lack of concentration that led to it. I slightly edge thurman as he has more of the tools to deal with blind aggression than porter has to deal with being found so easy.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
