Fight of the year so far: Thurman-Porter or Salido-Vargas?

Those were just about the words I was going to type when I saw this thread (though it's a repeat of a thread I started). Vargas's movement was smoother than Thurman's, and Salido was craftier and sharper on the inside than Porter. Yes a PBC network TV fight actually exceeded expectations and can be a boost for boxing, but if Vargas and Salido were American welterweights and fought on network TV it would be getting more love.

It doesn't matter. Half the threads in the forum are basically retreads of previous threads anyway.

 

Vargas vs Salido was more intense. The clinching and back pedaling in Porter/Thurman prevents it from clinching the top spot.

 

Both great to watch but Salido-Vargas for me less technical but I love a good slugfest and thought Porter won against Thurman. Depends on what you like I guess.

 

Thurman Porter by a distance. More explosive, more intense, less attritional.

I'd have Kalenga vs Dorticos above Salido Vargas too.

 

Both were good fights but Salido-Vargas was a far more entertaining fight in my opinion.
