    Thurman UD, shawn got exposed as a lunging brawler with limited skills against Brook.

    Thurman, if Kel can beat him, Thurman will do it better.

    Thurman doesn't have the same dimensions or fight like Brook. I got Thurman on points but I question his chin. Porter could take this one though too.

    brook had the height and reach to keep porter at bay, i don't believe that thurman could out box him like that. how is porters chin? i know thurman got caught by a clean soto karas punch and was wobbled, i wonder how he would react to a porter shot.

    the flipside is that Thurman probably hits harder than Brook, so hes got that equalizer which could get Porters respect and keep him honest.

    Porter so far, to my knowledge hasn't faced a puncher, Paulie, Devon, Kel are not really known as big punchers.

    Who knows, maybe we might get some answers about Porters chin

    Some of us already recognized him for a lunging brawler with limited skills long before that.

    Even though I said Porter was a hypejob that would be exposed by Brook and I was right, I think Porter KO's Thurman, Thurman isn't that hard to hit, we've never seen him really tested in close and what kind of inside game he's got and I'm not sure if he's got the physical strength of a Brook to keep Porter controlled in close, Brook barely did.

    Keith tends to get caught by overhands and hooks too frenqently and Porter is very pretty hook happy so I think if Porter can get inside he may hurt or stop Thurman. And Porter has a good enough chin to not be KO'd by the first few counters Thurman would hit with.
