Could Thurman vs Porter turned out like Santa Cruz vs Mares?

    I feel the pre-fight hype based on the match up for Santa Cruz and Mares hardly met the expectation. To me it was a very sloppy fight without any drama.

    For the Thurman and Porter match, hype is about same and I hope it will live up to the expectation. But Porter is very sloppy and can cause many missing and unclean punches to make this fight messy to watch.

    I think it will be a close decision but who is the better fighter will still be debatable in the end.

    One time is gonna make this fight look easy.
    Porter for all his strength will be caught with a single shot trying to get inside... I expect a looping right or a check hook to Porters chin to stop him in his tracks rather early on in the fight.

    Hopefully I'm wrong and we get a good fight, I just don't see it.

    For me if Thurman KOs Porter early, that would be a good fight and clearly shows Thurman is the better fighter.
