Porter vs Thurman?

The Post-Mayweather Welter Scene is looking pretty good!

 

much better than the past couple of years.

too bad theyre both with Haymon :-(

These fighters and Porter (who also comes from the Cleveland area) all have the same flaw...when they open-up to engage in exchanges with their opponent, they

. Porter is a KO waiting to happen. Love his stamina, jab and movement though. I do hope he corrects that one glaring flaw.
