Kenny Porter just said this fight is a go and that he has gotten the word today from "upstairs" Will be in 8-10 weeks, venue and date to be set
It's frightening that some men have begun to assign Al Haymon the status of god... :-( I've noticed many boxers even thank him before god...
Should be a great match up. I'd pick Porter at the moment for this as he's more proven. But I wouldn't count Thurman out.
I don't rate Thurman as a special fighter....but I don't see Shawn having much of a shot here. He is one of the sloppiest, undisciplined fighters I have seen.
Thurman has looked poor by his own high standards lately but if he can really perform on the night he can win. This is a real pick 'em fight and I don't know who will win. Credit to both for taking it. Thurman may take this by KO though.
