David Thurman has way more ring rust than porter and he has problem with an inside game to begin with.

His jab is good but he uses it more for the cross than for neutralizing his opp. Porter needs a quick counter jab to deter his swarming. If he gets past Thurmans jab, which he can w speed and lateral movement than stepping to the side and hooking to the body.

But if porter tries to jab his way in its not a good recipe....he'd be walking into counters ala Brook

I have Thurman winning, thurmans inside game was exposed by Robert but ill think he will do fine from the outside times while he sits on his punches, he has good power.. im not a fan of porters ugly fighting style, john ruiz style... don't sleep on Thurman he might knock him out.

No one is sleeping on Thurman...he's the favorite in the fight. The problem is Shawn Porter is a VERY live dog and an "upset" is not to far out of reality

damn.:ohhh:

but where u been breh? u aint posted in a min.
Just focusing on personal things breh.
Also i agree with reflex with the canelo shyt. I also agree with @HARLEM AL and @Newzz position though. Honestly i want to see the fight, BUT the way lil g and his team treated the Sog i hope he never gets a big fight in his entire career. fukk that dude as far as I'm concerned. I hope he retires begging for fights and has to do vlad tv interviews in 10 years, ol bum ass nikka.
Also @HARLEM AL reminds me of my pops with the way he posts :dead:
I told my pops about Crawford and postol being ppv and he looked at me like " :dahell: is that shyt a fight to the death or something? Why would that be on ppv? Nobody knows those dudes" :laff:

You Ward apologists are so hurt by the Ward-GGG situations it clouds your judgment. Maybe there are two sides to a story. How about the fact that GGG says he won't discuss Ward because Ward deserves no respect for flat out being a liar. Or the fact that every article I have read from a credible journalist with more knowledge of the situation than we have, says that GGG absolutely did not duck Ward and that Ward had just as much to do with it not happening. But it is cool to be a GGG hater here, so the Ward ducking story went from speculation to truth.

Breh absolutely don't ever quote me with fat dan quotes or tweets, especially when we already have videos/interviews/articles of lil g saying ward is too much and too good for him after calling out everyone from 154-168 including ward specifically. Also aside from any of the facts i just dropped on you, if lil g doesn't fight lara,jacobs, quillin, saunders, or lee next if he doesn't get the cinnamon fight, then i really really really hope he never gets a big fight. fukking middleweight joe mesi, get him the fukk out of here fighting cans for a big fight.

Wouldn't be an upset. I think porters a bootleg BATB but he was giving Mosley who's faster than Thurman work in sparring. Kee kee just started sparring this week?
