When he uses his jab it's very crisp and sharp, he doubles up on it and causes the opponent fits. He's got very fast hands (when he's not throwing wide) and feet, the problem is his ring IQ lets him down sometimes, like Bradley, he gets carried away.
Watch the first few rounds of that for example, he's easily outboxing Diaz who's a decent fighter himself, then he loses discipline, abandons a gameplan that was working very well and gives Diaz a way back into the fight.
Porter has got quicker hands and feet than Thurman, but Thurman throws sharper, more accurate punches. Imo Porter should try off trying to box Thurman, if it doesn't work, go to plan B and try get inside, outwork him etc.
I don't think this fight will be close. Thurman knocks Shawn out mid fight.
