    Yeah, you right about that, I kinda thought he had improved because of the way he fought Alexander. He wasn't as wild as he was with Brook. Boxing skills are definitely in order for him.:bbb

    I don't think Thurman needs any of Brooks leftovers. He need to straight for Brook.

    Had the Brook loss not been so one sided and actually close , Then Porter/Thurman would still have some interest .

    But Brook was way too dominant against Porter , he needs to avenge his loss and then he can start thinking about One-time .

    Dominant isn't what I'd call it...but Brook clearly won.

    Porter expected a fight and didn't adjust to the stab and grab tactics.

    The ref should have been taking points...lots of them.

    1 tune up fight after a loss for porter not two.as for Thurman he is still not getting his shot at any top fighter he will be thirty before he gets a title shot at this rate.

    I want to see it but it wont happen anytime soon.al gaymon will give porter tune up fights for at least a year maybe more that's his m.o. after one of his fighters loses or looks bad.

    Makes sense but after seeing how open Porter is to the right hand Thurman puts him to sleep

    Porter vs Karass good shout

    Guaranteed FOTY candidate

    I think they will make Porter vs Berto after Berto returns in September

    Another guaranteed FOTY candidate
