    Having read all of this, I'm just happy that two very good fighters are facing each other- with knowledgeable fans predicting different outcomes.

    I think it's an interesting matchup.

    I lean toward Thurman winning, but not by much.

    Doesn't mean much. Neither's a true top fighter and both have significant limitations.

    "100 times" is not that good.

    Pick em fight really. Probably with a slight lean towards Thurman because he's more complete.

    Big step up for Thurman. I give Porter the edge here.

    I'm not sure about this fight. Thurman has been looking garbage lately while Porter seems to be peaking.

    I can see Thurman peppering the midget with straight right hands all night, possibly koing him. I can also see an ugly clinch fest where Thurman would land the more telling blows while Porter dictated the pace and throwing more punches.

    It can be an ugly fight boring fight or a FOTY depending on Thurman.

    Porter must make sure Adelaide Byrd is nowhere near this fight.

    this fight will be an interesting one. Thurman will have to hit Porter with something serious to keep, him from applying so much pressure.

    About time Thurman really stepped up and faced a legit threat. Now's when we find out exactly what Keith is made of.

    You've got to hand it to Porter too, he seems willing to fight anyone. I'll be rooting for him.
