Who won Thurman-Porter?

Stupid title, and therefore bogus poll. Whether we agree or not Thurman won the fight 115-113.

 

8-4 porter
He dominated the fight with his jab, mauled him, out threw and out landed him.
7-5 porter if you are a close Thurman relative.

 

Does anyone care who won Gatti v Ward? There were no losers here. Just enjoy and love the fight they gave us and hope they do it again

 

:hi:

You described 4 rounds as 'very close' and hard to score. You gave all 4 of those rounds to Porter. From your scoring and breakdown as it happened you shouldn't have much of a problem if those 4 rounds were given to Thurman, which would make it 8-4 Thurman. So I don't know how you can so adamantly call it a bad decision. I scored it a draw and am ok that Thurman took it. Porter was more consistent and fought his fight more than Thurman's, but Thurman landed way more clean punches.

 

Yes, unanimous 7-5 cards gives the impression it was close but clear for Thurman, like Morales-Pac 1, and it sure wasn't. But despite the totals the judges only agreed on 6 rounds. Their scoring was still inconsistent and showed it was a hard fight to score. 7-5 either guy is fine, even if it turned out 7-5 UD. SDs way more often mean one judge got it wrong in an easy fight to score, rather than a fair difference in perspective in a close fight.

 

Had it a draw. There were some very tough to score rounds. Needs a rematch.

 

Thurman JUST but clear win imo.

Porter just lacks a bit of class to his work, good boxer but will never be top of his division lacks skills.
