    It must have felt like 12 hrs for Thurman.

    Deantay needs to get a woman to start buying his clothes, he always looks like he wants to audition for a boy band.

    Yeah overall a good night. Sometimes the big fights disappoint, this one didn't at all.

    The significance of this fight makes it better than Vargas-Salido for me anyways. This was high level stuff.

    to use the old saying

    "this fight was fought in a phone booth!"

    they both went for it .. no running and holding and protecting .. they laid it all out on the line .. and the crowd repayed with a huge reaction

    Magnificent fight. Easy FOTY for me.

    Salido Vargas was gruelling, grinding. This was more intense and explosive.

    Bit of a shame the 12th sorta fizzed out as they kept falling in on each other, but you can't have everything.

    Don't rematch immediately though please. Take out Garcia first. Maybe Brook will have moved up by then too.

    Both absolute gentlemen as well, what's not to like?

    Exactly. Two evenly matched quality fighters with the ***** to not give any ground. Fights like this are what boxing is about, not all these business structured a side b side showcase money grabs.

    Exactly. I hope they do a card in December giving Thurman a shot at Garcia, and Porter a name that can boost him into a rematch (berto, ghost, or khan) and put it on CBS again. If Thurman and Porter win, THEN give the rematch ON CBS again.
