Bounced back from a car crash, hopefully the fight isn't a trainwreck: Thurman/Porter June 25 thread

[Edub]

Mad? Nah homie, I just see thru your bullshyt . U been hating on Thurman, aint shyt new homie . And I never called u a dikkrider bruh? Every time I try to criticize sime shyt respectfully you nikkas get out of line, I'm gone keep shyt cool though and avoid all that back and fourth shyt if I can't literally punch you. It's all good though fam.

I agree about the body shots, Thurman gotta work on taking them bytches. Other than that, dude is one of the most accurate punchers you will ever see, can fight and win at ANY style, and can connect clean punches from any angle. If u don't see possible greatness out of dawg then I don't know what to tell you. He handled the pressure from Porter EASILY. Poster is no scrub nikka, of course he was not gone get dominated. But he clearly lost that fight, he lost the fight that was fought in HIS areas of comfort. It was the fight that HE wanted to fight, and he lost. It is what it is.

His jab was a lil light tonight too tho...Thurman's gotta throw that better. Other than that tho...he rough to deal with

Are there any pro boxers that have come out and said they felt Thurman won? I've now seen 3 post fight interviews from Sergio Martinez, Booboo Andrade, and Willie Monroe Jr and they all felt Porter won.

Fam even my wife was yelling at that nikka to jab and she don't know shyt about boxing

If Thurman fights Danny like he fought last night he loses. No jab thinking he gonna ko that autistic retard chin loading up shots against a natural counter puncher looping rights against that Danny left hook

He needs to just box fam I want to put him in team Krack because I genuinely like dude but nikka is too frustrating to watch

 

[torcher]

Why are people actin like Porter just threw more punches and didnt land any clean shots? Besides his body work he landed a bunch of clean shots sum even in the center of the ring. Thurmans face was mangled after the fight

 

[krackdagawd]

Rewatching now I thought there would be a bit of rust but nope dudes were banging out from the jump

I was surprised at the lack of One Times jab...Going off only seeing the fight once I think Porters was much better

As far as Swift vs Thurman...its classic Swift going get demolished pre fight then the fight happens N errybody

Garcias work to the body N countering will be a problem for Keith... Like you mentioned the lack of Thurmans jab N not clinching will also make it easier on Danny

To me that fight comes down to if Garcias chin holds up...which one of them gasses first AND I believe Angel can get under Thurmans skin combined with Keith believing Swift isn't a true Walterweight Thurman might think he can walk thru Garcia N get caught with some shyt

Thurman has the tools to beat him but he needs to outbox him. If he goes in there slugging thinking he is going to get him out of there he's going to have a rough night. nikkas talk shyt about the Bundu fight and call him run time and all that other shyt but he would have the most successful in that style imo.

That fight at the Barclays or msg would print money. Angel and Thurman fukkery during the build up

 

[DetroitEWarren]

I don't think he got enough credit for his body work. But then again the rounds were to close to call.
Ike I said, you either like the volume or the big flashy shots.

There were at least 6-7 rounds where the fight was in the middle of the ring the whole 3 minutes . What in the holy fukk were u dudes watching. The majority of the fight they did not even touch the ropes, and even when they did Thurman was not getting "mauled", he stayed counter punching and never looked affected by the pressure. Please explain to me how that is considered getting mauled?

Compu numbers

Power punches: Thurman 203/405 50%
Porter 177/460 38%


But let u nikkas tell it, that's called getting mauled

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

So this fight is clearly divided ..yes very close. But keith may have nicked it man..

It was a close fight, no bones about it. To me the clean and more damaging work was done by Thurman.

Looked around the Web (not everywhere though ) and every scorecard I have seen is either 115-113 Thurman or a draw.

I think a lot of people are gonna go with which styles they prefer to.

a lot nikkas just dont like porter style to begin with cause its so fukkin sloppy.

 

[ChocolateGiddyUp]

The thing I said to my brother N why I think The crowd favored Porter

Was because how Thurman sometimes reacted to punches...the running after the body shot... N extra movement looking like panic at times

I like Porters style, it really shows something about the opposition in how they defend against it. Porters opponents only landed 27% of power punches on average, for Thurman to land 50% shows that dude was ready for the style. Great fight, I still just don't see how nikkas can say Tgurman was getting "mauled" cause dude was punching his way out of compromising positions every time and was rarely in them to begin with .

 

[FaTaL]

This is EXACTLY what I saw...broner was hesitant and sketchy cuz of that dumb ass press porter does, even with no real punches landing, but porter didn't out box broner...he just had a game plan to make broner uncomfy and it worked. But the few moments those two actually boxed Mano y Mano porter wasnt really seeing broner skill wise. That loss belongs on broners corner imo. I definitely would like to see a part 2...with some actual "in fight" thinking I bet broner would smash homie.

Naw

By nature broner is a fighter who suffers from self doubt and hesitation. When he faces pressure whether it's maidana or porter he crumbles. That whole fight against porter he was just scard and couldn't pull the trigger

Damn I had to work last night. Can anybody hook a breh up with a linkage?
