Good ass fight I was ok with the decision, Thurman should have used the Jab to make it easier and porter gets inside but he smothers his own work too.

They need to throw Spence, Brook and Garcia in the mix and get the welterweight party started.

One of the things I noticed was that when Thurman tried to establish the jab, Porter jabbed with him at times. (which is what you're supposed to do.) Thurman was more effective on the inside to me.

Haymon should do a "Super 6" tournament.

I was right with my prediction I said Thurman by decision before the fight. I usually get my predictions right when I pick fights. I know more about boxing than you think @meilmarc

Bitch you still dont know shit about boxing, the only reason you picked Thurman is because he's a half cac like you.

You the same dumb ass who said Gervonta Davis a 130 pound unproven prospect should go to 147 to fight Shawn Porter and prove himself.

Yea Porter gets inside but kills his own work, he bets on fighters get tired from all that mauling instead of landing clean punches.

That tournament may happen to save PBC because that shit is about to fold, i don't understand Haymon because he has thst big ass stable of boxers but only makes excellent matches few and far between.

Firstly I bet I know more about Boxing than you. I never pick someone cause of their race. That's stupid as fuck. I told you about using that 'cac' shit. Your dumb ass still ain't learned from what I tried to teach you about that shit smh.

Secondly I said Gervonta should move up to fight Porter when he's ready. I never said he should do it immediately. I would love to see it happen someday though it would probably be a good fight.

I wanna see Danny Garcia vs. Keith Thurman next.

You dumb as fuck, dude fights at 130 and hasn't even won a title yet or "proven" himself to be a top 130 pounder, dude might not even be effective at 135, 140, but somehow he will be ready to go up to 4 divisions and fight a big 147 pounder to prove himself. They make weight classes for a reason and there are not too many fighters who can go up 4 weight classes and hang.

Stupid ass, even if dude was to move up Porter wouldn't even be at 147 anymore because he will outgrow 147. Fucking clown.

Clown ass just in the threads to post bullshit

Foh fuck boy. I guess you can't read either. I said I'd like him to fight Porter when he's ready and if he moves up in weight class. Learn how to read first before replying you idiot.

That is why I was curious of his weight at fight time. I'm guessing he was in the 160's and he was trying to push Thurman like an NFL lineman pushing a sled.

That tournament may happen to save PBC because that shit is about to fold, i don't understand Haymon because he has thst big ass stable of boxers but only makes excellent matches few and far between.

I keep hearing about all these PBC money woes. I really hope it survives because boxing sucks with the old regime running the show.

I feel you on that..but then I could say IF floyd had to fight a Thomas HitMan Hearns he'd get KO'd in that fight...but what would it prove? nothing...cuz i'm SURE if asked..EVERYONE here has at least ONE "IF" about something or somebody..it's just speculation untill it actually happens..shit IMO if Floyd fought Shane Mosley at Lightweight he looses but what would others say? When shane Rocked Floyd in their fight he couldn't finish him..BUT would he have survived that had Shane been in his PRIME? prolly not..but that's what I think..not proven
I disagree, Floyd would've KILLED Shane at Lightweight. Look at what he did to Corrales who was a much more devastating puncher. Besides, Floyd is gonna come back at least most of us think he will. So with Porter and Thurman being the mega fight at the weight class floyd dominated its only natural to compare or speculate. Hearns retired 20yrs ago, not the same thing bro.

If They have a super 6 who's in it? That #6 spot would be a hard decision

Thurman top seed Brook 2 Garcia 3 Vargas 4 (never seen him fight) that's the belt holders...
Then who Bradley Spence Porter

Styles makes fights...Maidana gave Floyd a tough one the first go round and Porter has a similar style...swarming, brawling pressure fighters always give slick boxers a tough time...Floyd would beat him but it wouldn't look as easy as you are making it seem

On another note, I am glad that Haymon is putting these fights on where they are accessible to everyone...been tough the last few years hearing people say how boring boxing is when so many good, exciting fights have been going down but people just dont know about them

I think FLoyd makes it look as easy as the 2nd Maidana fight

Maidana got more punching power than Porter too and is more awkward with his style, Maidana done knocked damn near everyone he done fought except for Floyd.

Porter just puts his head down and bulrushes, he tailor made for Floyd, plus Floyd gets rough and is skilled on the inside but gets no credit for it from the clowns claiming all he does is run and potshot.

Thurman, Garcia, Brook, Spence, Porter, Vargas.

Bradley is with Arum so I cant count him in until Al and Arum get off they periods and work together(which they say they can since the lawsuit was settled)

Brook and Vargas are fighting to unify their titles in September.

Dibella done already said he wants to try to set up unifying all the belts and has reached out to all parties and promoters to have it done by the end of 2017.

Mayweather/Porter wouldn't even be a competitive fight. Mayweather couldn't dream up a more tailor-made opponent.

I feel ya on that...but I dissagree on the "Floyd would have KILLED Shane Mosley at Lightweight" and if you ask the fam on this matter OR do a poll of opinion on this you'd learn that alot would agree with what I say.

I was just looking at some interviews where they are saying Brook didn't sign the contract and his camp is not sure if they want the fight now. They can't come to an agreement on the money. :hmm:

If Garcia fights Spence, then we would already have the first round done. Have winner of Vargas brook fight Thurman, and that winner fight the winner of Garcia spence. Then have a Mayweather Super fight with the grand champion.

If Haymon got a move on it, we could have the Superfight by the end of next year.

Will definitely concede that Maidana''s awkwardness is an extra arsenal that he had against Floyd that Porter lacks....a fighter might have seen someone similar to Porter before but you haven't seen nobody like Maidana until you are in there with him

Nice fight. Nice shots landed all around. Satisfied with decision but would have been just as satisfied with a draw.
