As for Mayweather I agree he was a classy boxer in the ring. I am talking his persona outside of the ring. Half the people who bought tickets were hoping to see him get his ass kicked. It worked for him The more people hated the more they watched. That's why I said I hope Crawford doesn't think he needs to do this to get fights. The big name fights on PPV. I would rather him stay the way he is. Humble. On another note I saw that Bronner and Mikey Garcia are in the works? Please, Please god let this happen. If it does happen, Mikey please don't knock this bitch out too soon. Carry him until the 10th, or 11th and punish his bitch ass the entire time. Broner starts way too slow for Mikey..... but I'd still love to see it and wouldn't dismiss Broner... of course... as a Desoto native... I love Spence... but I truly think Thurman would find a way in a head to head match up.... and while I wouldn't be surprised if Kell gave Spence issues... Kell would taste canvas against Keith Thurman Thurman showed me something against Porter.. and cemented that with his tactical breakdown of one of my favorite fighters in Garcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would've even given Floyd problems.. Thurman impressed me by weathering that and getting the win...

A Porter/Mayweather fight could go two ways: Floyd would fight Porter the same way Brook did OR Floyd would fight Porter how he fought Maidana in the 1st fight. Quite frankly, if I were Shawn Porter, I would hope that Floyd fight me how he fought Maidana, and Maidana could've won if he hadn't gassed out. Shawn Porter on the other hand is an energizer bunny....so iamgine how that could play out.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong jab and footwork. People underestimate footwork. This is my problem with Thurman he has shoddy as hell footwork depends on his power now he is having elbow surgery after shoulder surgery? I think Thurmans time may soon be over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballGuy Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Not gonna lie... I was skeptical of Spence because of all the hype he was receiving, but after tonight, he has made me a believer. Bring on Thurman! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did get caught but kid showed he had a good chin. if im spence im looking at Thurman, Danny Garcia, I would avoid Porter. Not that he cant beat him but Porter is big time work for anyone.

paladin4ever Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 Looks like Brook suffered a broken left orbital bone. Will require surgery. Sucks for him as he suffered the same injury against GGG on his right side. Seems like his face is falling apart. May be time for him to hang them up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
