Thurman vs. Porter: A Technical Summary

Choice breakdown...!!!

That Kell will still beat Porter...styles matchup.
If Thurman employs the same strategy it could be a long night.

If Porter tweaks some he will give Thurman trouble.

I already had Thurman by decision...now I'm giving Porter a bigger chance after remembering Collazo !

Either way it will be some fireworks!!!

Thanks!

 

I think Porter will pull it off. I feel the beginning of the rounds will be very close and if Thurman cannot knock out Porter he can be worn down and possibly stopped. Thurman likes boxing at a slower pace and he needs to be at a comfortable range to perform maximally. Porter is not going to give him any of this. Thurman needs to make him respect his power early or he is going to lose.

 

:yep
If I was Keith I would keep Porter at bay all night and not allow him inside to score:deal

 

This will go similar to Molina-Provo with Thurman winning.

 

Floyd has fought fighters like Porter most of his career. If Maidana couldn't beat him Porter wouldn't either. I would give Thurman more of a chance against Floyd because of his cleaner punching ability.

 

It seems like from pre-fight talk, Keith really understands Porter well.
It's a 50-50 fight.

 

Styles make fights and Porters style is wrong for Thurman. Thurman won't stay in the pocket behind a jack hammer jab and counter with a sledge hammer straight right like Kell Brook did.

Rumors have it that Thurman has had a bad camp as well with a whole litany of problems.

I'm very pumped.

 

I think Porter is too busy and durable for Thurman.

116-113 type scorecards
Thurman has a chance if Porter rushes in and gets caught with a bomb. I can see that happening also.

 

I could see Porter troubling a 40 year old Floyd with his workrate.

 

Bump bump bump

 

Im cool with the final verdict.. but I had porter as the winner as he fought his fight and outworked Thurman for the majority of the rounds... just my opinion. Lots of close rounds.
