I'll say this much... If you had Porter winning tonight then you need to go back and watch Mayweather/Maidana 1 and Tarver/Jones 1. Very identical fights.
Bounced back from a car crash, hopefully the fight isn't a trainwreck: Thurman/Porter June 25 thread

Yea that might shake Keith's confidence knowing that his shots can be eatin'....I saw a lil weakness in his game ...most notably his jab....it is virtually non-existentthe defense part was bullshyt but he was spot on about Porter's shots being "hidden" or "smothered" in a sense... Porter controlled the ring tho... and his chin is just

Makes me appreciate Brooks performance even more. Too bad he hiding in Sheffield now.
You are remembering wrong. There were a lot of people who incorrectly thought Maidana won the fight just because he was aggressive and mauled Floyd.Nobody thought Maidana beat Mayweather
That's why we got that unnecessary rematch.

Maidana did the same to Floyd. At no point did Floyd ever really have control of the fight. He did a good job of picking his spots as the fight progressed.

He was being outworked almost all rounds, Porter worked better to the body and overall I think the fight rather looked how Porter imagined than Thurman.
Outworking the opponent, impose your will and many not that clean shot > few but clean counters which rock the opponent but don't knock him down
Thurman couldn't get Porter off him, nor could he outwork him, or could he KDd him. Porter won this for me even if he fought as awkward and ugly as he usually does.

Truthfully I thought Thurman won more convincingly than Brook

Thurman's power sapped over the course of the fight due to fatigue. Porter has a good chin, but he was HURT very early on.
There was a point from about RD4-6 where it seemed like Thurman was gaining control of the fight, but Porter made great adjustments just as Keith was starting to get his timing down. I could never be mad at a decision rewarding either fighter tonight, they truly turned in a great performance.
I gotta rewatch it, because I remember Brook handling the pressure fairly well and lining Porter up with the 1-2 consistently. Keith certainly had to dig deeper to make it through 12 imo.
