Shawn Porter

By Allan Fox: Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs) will be challenging the highly evasive WBA World welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) this Saturday night on June 25 on Showtime Boxing from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. It’s not enough for the winner of this fight just to get the victory.

They’re going to need to look good in winning. That means if Thurman wins, he can’t be running around the ring for 12 rounds, stinking up the joint with his terrible to watch “circle fighting.” Thurman calls his fighting style, “Circle fight.” I think a lot of boxing fans would call it “boring style,” so hopefully Thurman can stand in the pocket and actually fight on Saturday instead of running from Porter, 28, for 12 rounds.

By Allan Fox: The boxing public have been waiting for many months to see the Keith Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) vs. Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs), because they believe the fight will be an exciting bout from start to finish with a lot of exciting. However, Thurman is saying he plans to use the same game plan that Kell Brook used to defeat Porter two years ago in their fight in 2014.

Brook used a great deal of clinching to keep Porter from being able to throw his punches. WBA welterweight champion Thurman will be defending his title against Porter on June 25 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Thurman says he doesn’t intend on being stationary against Porter in this fight, because he doesn’t want to give him a chance to land his punches. So instead of staying in the pocket, Thurman will be circling the ring constantly.

By Allan Fox: WBA World welterweight champion Keith “One Time” Thurman (26-0, 22 KOs) says nobody is afraid of Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs), and that he doesn’t have the kind of punching power that would make anyone in the division avoid him. Thurman says he could have pulled out of the fight if he wanted to, but he’s not afraid of fighting the 28-year-old Porter. On June 25, Thurman is going to have to prove to the boxing world that he’s better than Porter when the two of them face each other at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

If Porter doesn’t hit that hard, then maybe Thurman will be more willing to stay in the pocket and fight him in a one-on-one manner rather than moving constantly like we’ve seen from him in many of his previous fights.

“If I really wanted to pull out of the fight, I had every opportunity to completely pull out of the fight,” said Thurman to Fighthype.com. “There ain’t nobody trying to avoid Shawn Porter. Nobody’s scared of Shawn Porter.

This fight will be Thurman’s first since suffering a whiplash neck injury in a car accident earlier this year.
