    For me it was clearly Porter, I had that fight a draw. It was a better fight too, a lot of punches thrown.

    Danny tried to box with Thurman which was silly because Keith is faster, more mobile and throws much more than Danny. I don’t see how some people thought that fight was close.

    Who did better for you?

    Porter did a lot better, Thurman clearly outboxed Garcia, that fight wasn't even close imo.

    Porter for me. I was actually quite impressed with him for once. He picked his moments more to get close and was actually effective.

    This fight is so intriguing

    It was because he was literally charging at Keith and Thurman was swinging shots like a mad man tryna get him off him.

    Danny gave Keith his new nickname “Runtime” so Danny, obviously.

    Danny didn’t do **** when Thurman stood in front of him for 9 rounds.

    How was Thurman-Porter a draw? Thurman was a step ahead all the way.
    Porter was aggressive but he was missing quite often and getting tagged with sharp counters.

    Porter for me too. I feel like Thurman took his foot off the gas at times against Garcia.

    I had it a draw, I don’t see how anyone can not have that fight close even if you thought Thurman won. It warranted a rematch imo.

    Only in the end when he fought he was comfortably ahead, he couldn’t do that with Porter at any point.

    Yup, absolutely. I think Porter hustles Danny at the weekend too actually but that to me is going to be another 115-113 fight either way

    What rounds did you give Porter?
    No ****ing way was that a draw. Porter was competitive, won rounds but a draw would have been a highway robbery.

    I get close fights, i somewhat often come to draws when scoring close fights.

    But i definitely want a rematch. Even if Porter looses to Garcia.

    I had it 115-113 for Thurman and thought he deserved the win but it was a close fight.
