    As much as I like Porter, Thurman by KO/TKO. Porter has the heart but I'm not sure about the chin. If Broner could get to it in Rd 12, Thurman will find it early.

    No I'm not insinuating Thurman is not as fast as Broner but Broner does not possess the power Thurman holds at 147

      Porter's chin is solid. He fought guys in the amateurs who are now at 175 and Cruiserweight, he can take a punch.

      Broner managed to knock him down, but Brook who's a much bigger puncher couldn't even hurt him. There are many variables.

      I'm almost certain this fight goes the distance.

        So now only people with glass chins can get stopped?

          I'd be surprised if it went the distance tbh. Both have solid chins but both also have power, and both will be landing plenty of punches due to the styles both bring.

            Going by what I've been seeing consistently so far, I think Thurman has the edge over Porter in power. Not sure by how much, though.

              Porter should clearly be the underdog. As he should always be. He's just like Bradley where you would expect several opponents to beat him easily, but their tenacity inside the ring always keep it close.

                Thurman should be the favorite at the books, but its pretty close to a pick'em fight. Don't be surprised if Thurman gets put to sleep.

                    It's possible. But I see Porter being more active from the get-go, and hurtng him early.

                      Porter can hurt Thurman that's for sure but he may have to land a number of shots to make it count.
