Cableaddict Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off Jeeez, us fans just can't catch a break. At least this isn't a serious injury, and Thurman is still plenty young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off Yeah, sounds like it isn't too serious and could get rescheduled nearer to the summer. Let's hope so - this is a good matchup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

repsac Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off March 12 Boxing Cancelled Page not found - - Boxing News - Ring News24 Never been this happy for a card to be cancelled before. I just wouldn't want to travel to Connecticut for the remaining card. It's a 3 hour drive one way. Hopefully it's reschedule in CT or NY. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxingforlife Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off Three days go, the match was still on. Trainers said Thurman would resume training soon and match would be rescheduled. Without any doubts this was a marquee match up. Nevertheless fighters being fit and healthy is all that matters.

Myself can't really wait for him to get back in the ring, we'll miss those punches, for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killer Punch Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off The airbag deployment made it an injury more than the accident itself. Keith told the press, the airbag hit him harder than any punch he got hit by, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off I'm really sick of runtime Thurman, the hype (some of which was from me before he "broke through") is over the top. The guy has been facing B tier guys for years whilst some are talking about him as something special. Also if the air bag hurt him more than that Collazo body shot or when he was wobbled by...JSK?...then that tells you he knows he's not been facing punchers for a good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off The fight has been rescheduled for June 25th, so Thurman's injury couldn't have been very serious. Can't wait to se him back in action, and Porter is practically a dream opponent. =========================== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repsac Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Re: Car crash means Porter vs Thurman is off I hope it happens at the same venue. Otherwise i just have a souvenir of what could've been on March 12th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
