    No idea who won that last round :S I vote it should be a draw, really great fun and brilliant to watch, porter seemed to land more but I think thurman had the more damaging shots, apart from porters great body shot. Who should win.... who cares.... do it again !

    that puts a lot of ppv fights to shame !

    Porter was barely breathing. He could have went 20.

    very close decision cant really disagree, I think this result merits a rematch for sure.

    "close but unanimous" guy should be a divorce lawyer.

    Now we have to see Thurman's reaction to the notion of a rematch... I think that will tell us all we need to know about who won.
    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.

    Can't say I agreed with the decision, felt for more than not Porter was in control. Are cleaner punches worth more if they are less effective?

    Fun fight. Both guys limitations were evident throughout making for good action. I think both are eager to rematch because both know they are limited. Best not to mix with Kell or Errol.

    Indeed. He's the one that called for it and Porter was his mandatory which means he now has an optional and can fight who he wants.

    I had it the same as the judges. Definitely a close fight and could have gone either way. I think a rematch is in order. Thurman could be so much better if he would use a jab just a little bit.

    I think the karate background limits him. It is too natural for him to get into a karate stance. That's why he can't punch at all when moving. In a karate stance it is easier to kick on the move than it is to punch IMO. And why everything he does is looping, hooks, uppercuts from distance, overhand rights. If he could add anything straight down the middle to his repertoire he wouldn't be so predictable and he could probably start getting KOs again. But with how obvious he is I don't see him stopping top level fighters ever.

    Give the guy a jab and a straight right and I think he could rule the division. But as is I'll take Kell or Spence over him.

    I gave it to Porter but only by a round or two, if Porter wasn't complaining then neither am I.

    Good close fight, Porters style made it more exciting than Thurmans.

    Get the rematch on
