So Porter/Thurman is on

[Spicoli]

I am going all in on a Porter tko now. Thurman will know the definition of physicality standing you still and why you don't leave your hands extended. Great fight potential this one

I'll take Thurman just to spite you and because I feel he will win. He's a boxer puncher where as Porter is a pressure fighter for the most part. Should be a good competitive fight though.

Agree with Hulk. Thurman is skilled and Porter was raw when he fought Brooks. The same will happen. Thurman clinic.

Compared to Porter he is skilled. As a stand alone statement he is not. His "boxing" is him literally running away until he can plant his feet to throw one shot before running again. I put quotes on boxing because it is not educated movement, it is not purposeful except to get away. There are far more purposes to movement that Thurman does not employ than purposes he does employ.

That's a bit of my thinking as I don't see much in between game with Thurman. Rolling to flat feet and looking for power or in the case of Bundu where he basically had his peterpan shoes on and was doing a bit of stiff posture boxing. He has this rigidity to him when moving out and often backs straight facing high pressure. He was rocked across the ring vs Soto Karass and momentarily looked clueless and both Guerrero...his biggest fight to date?...and Callozo had him buzzed. Think he'll be forced into some taxing clichés and heavy mauling with what should be a heavier Porter who hits you with these chopping shots and both shoulders. Mentally get a feeling Porter is much more aware of himself than Thurman who is quite the theatrical fella but we'll see.

the show has started on errr whatever channel this is, seattle news was just on before , so i assume it is an american tv channel :S maybe cbs nbc or some other 3 letter acronym :S


I just think porter is a bit empty headed, strong, tough and energetic but just lacking activity upstairs, so who knows if his strength can overcome this... I would like thurman to win as he is the undefeated fellow here and I would find it more interesting for the division if he won.

also is this for the real wba belt or the 2nd rate one, I can't keep up with the wba and their super champions :S


aha it is cbs

Ghost town Jarrett Hurd vs Oscar Molina starts

[palmerq]

should be an interesting main event

Jarret Hurd v Oscar Molina

I have not heard of these fellows but that doesnt mean much, looks like hurd is the favourite here.

[palmerq]

oh dear molina down pretty hard already :S maybe they will need to find another filler fight before the main event :S

I like this Hurd guy, no idea how good he is but nice relaxed style with some sneaky uppers.

[Spicoli]

Nothing like a pin point uppercut! Still wobbly

Sort of came out of no where last out beating up Galarza. Very sharp inside. smart.

[Spicoli]

Not a smart round for Hurd.

[IamInuit]

In close quarters you can really see the size difference. Could be camera angles but Hurd looks noticeably bigger.

Good fight.

Yup PBC on CBS. Didn't see you'd bumped this so just made a thread, fine if someone wants to delete it. This fight right now could be good, two undefeated guys with a bit of substance to their records.
