So Porter/Thurman is on

[J_Undisputed]

Definitely a a tough choice.

I think Thurman will have more opportunities to twin this fight with Shawn often times fighting square. Thurmans got a bigger target standing in front of him and following him around the ring. So Thurman may want to try to land big early and avoid a war and the kind of damage / wear and tear that comes with it. A longer fight with a pit bull like porter wont be as forgiving as his prius was.

While thurman has more opportunity to win the fight his way, i think Shawn (and Kenny) have more ways to win this.
- They know thurmans going to try to establish early and deter Shawn on the idea of getting comfortable inside and swarming. So they could use some faints and some angular in and out to cut down thurmans opportunity and get him on his bike and then swarm him late as his power and his legs fade. I think its too much of a gamble to possibly let thurman rack up any rounds.
- They could choose to swarm Thurman early while being careful of that kind of potshot broner caught him with. Sitting in the pocket takes the sting off of some of thurmans punches and keeping him on his heels and pushing him back builds a could rack up points while grinding thurman down and killing his chances of a second half comeback.

I hope Porter can pull this off as i love his work ethic and the fact that they're constantly looking for new things to add to his game. The blindfold sensitivity drills and adding the fight ball/ reflex ball (thought he didn't that effective with it) just shows he's trying to give himself the best chances to win. Hard to not get behind a fighter like that.

well if Thurman is anywhere near the level a lot of people put him at, he has to beat Porter. Porter is no pushover for nobody and certainly has a chance. the stupid thing is that If Porter did win, Brook's stock goes up even though he hasn't been fighting anybody remotely competitive.
