    I think Porter will outwork Thurman whereas Thurman will land the more telling punches so in the end it will be a matter of how you score a fight. Lots of people score the fights based on damage inflicted instead of the number of punches landed so there will be controversy.

    This. Porter needs to keep mauling and fighting on the inside to take this one. He needs to invest in that body to kill Thurmans movement so he cannot stay on the outside later on. He cannot try to box Thurman.

    Thurman needs to make him respect his power early so he can stay on the outside pot shotting Porter while setting traps to get the big ones off and ko him. Thurman has good lateral movement when he utilizes it but as he tires Porter will come on like the Ghost did.

    It is a good fight.

    This is a pick'em fight for me.

    I'll be rooting for Showtime, but I can't make a prediction with confidence.

    Guerrero is a skillful, athletic, experienced lefty who is fully capable of giving anyone fits.
    Porter fights nothing like him. Thurman is going to find a home for the jab and uppercut all night.

    If KEITH can Run Time Run he can pull out the decision
    If Porter Bulldogs him on the inside and unloads Porter could win
    50/50
    He who controls the ring will control the outcome:deal
    50/50 fight

    I mostly agree, but don't you think Spence could beat Brook?

    It won't live up to the hype because Thurman is overrated.
