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.
