    I can see Porter outworking Thurman to a UD.

    Can't believe I'm saying this but, barring a Thurman KO, I agree with you. I think Porter, win or lose, will make him Thurman look bad.

    I've been wanting this fight for awhile Thurman's superior boxing ability will see him through this one.

    Given Porter's size and Thurman's speed, Thurman should be able to time him coming in with some nice hooks.

    Thurman will be running after the first bit of pressure from porter.

    If a old washed up collazo can get Thurman running, porter can. Porter to win a UD.

    Porter could well stop Keith by overwhelming him, but if Porter gets sloppy Keith will turn his lights off.

    50/50 fight, IMO. You could make a great case for either fighter winning.

    Porter has no option but to win, if he loses, he may well be disowned by his father.

    Thurman to gas in round 8 and quit

    LOL

    Both have flaws...both are beatable

    Should be a good matchup.

    great fight, very intriguing


    Porter has the edge on chin, workrate and ferocity

    Thurman has the edge on power, speed and timing, but he's packing a glass jaw that Porter could very well expose specially if the match goes the distance

    Fancy Porter by decision, but a good matchup. One of the best at the weight, in fact.

    Can someone enlighten me where the idea of Thurman having a glass jaw comes from he has been dropped in 1 fight in his professional career and dropped his opponent in the same round ko in next round ...... so I am a bit perplexed where this glass jaw BS comes from. Thurman by Ko in later rounds

    Thurman didn't like the pressure collzao put him under so he must think his power will keep Porter off him - I think that might be a mistake. Porter is ruff tuff and comes in close like a bull on a jet plane.

    Size of the ring might be a factor here. I could see Porter beating Keith in a close one im not sold on Thurmans power at the elite level.
