gassing out doesn't mean he doesn't have pop
Just the way these 3 posts back to back played out
He does have some pop...if he didn't, and the way he fights, he would be steamrolled by people. He has good power and can sit you down for the 10 (that KO of JSK is still
) while Porter getting dropped by AB shows that if you hit the right button, he can fall
His gas tank is the ??? mark though and I believe that's only because he over moves and gets hit a lot to the body (Keith rarely gets caught clean upstairs). This is a perfect matchup of what they both bring to the table and should be at the very worst a good fight

. . when it counts?
Keith has lots of good power. And he can box, very well.Just the way these 3 posts back to back played out

The ? for the porter fight, is can he take someone that will be on him for 12 rounds? He landed some good shots in that sparring, but he looked very bothered having Porter up in his breathing space. If Sean can let his hands go and keep his style up, I still favor him. I think Keith's intangibles are suspect+ring rust+his ability to take a shot to the body will be his downfall in this fight.
what do you mean "when it counts?"
..even the best punchers have a greater degree of difficulty delivering power if they are gassed brehthurman brutalized guerrero in that fight..all you have to do is look at guerrero's next fight after that one to see the effects of that fight
It looks like Shawn Porter got the best of him, although a flush uppercut landed on Shawn Porter's face. They are really sparring each other before the match?
This shyt is old, Keith said he was going to release the footage, because Kenny Porter was talking shyt saying he got beat up in sparring
edit this is was like 3 years ago

mark my words . . if he doesn't have great improvements in being a 12 round fighter he's going to lose in the later roundswhat do you mean "when it counts?"

I'm too lazy now to watch all of it
who was the better?

Porter is such a poor fighter... Kieth did what he does, moves around and lands big shots... Porter just stands in front of u and waits to ludge to u with shots... He needs to be a search and destroy fighter or something... I got Keith knocking him out.
Thurman. TBH it ain't worth the 20 minutes. Keith game has changed up so much since then.
Porter needs to spend more time with Mosley and learn how to throw that bomb right hand.

Said this in the boxing thread but you can't get hype off of sparring footage. Who was helping who get ready? What was the opponent? What was sparring partner paid to do? Where there other nikkas rotated before this? Who ever was the one getting ready maybe his trainer wanted him to work on a specific tactic, combination, movement etc so he wasn't in there trying to "win rounds"......its cool to watch but its not going to be the same as 2 guys just trying to beat each other.

We saw the same thing happen with Superman vs Fonfara. One guy damn near gasses out after throwing everything but the kitchen sink at his opponent. Said opponent then picks it up after he knows the guy is tired. Fight goes the distance. Everybody says the fighter that won by major ass kicking has stamina issues due to a couple hiccups toward the end of the fight even though he dominated and won at least 9 rounds big.
Its like cats arent realizing that beating the shyt outta someone and trying to finish them off isn't easy when they are tough as fukk with concrete chins.
From listening to them in the video. Thurman had just did 4 or 5 rds with someone else. Considering that, Thurman ain't look too bad. Porter was fresher and couldn't seem to get it going enough.
Well see soon enough though.
Shawn was there to help Keith get ready for Maidana. Keith said they sparred 5? or 6 rounds? and they were Shawns first 5/6 and Keith's 8th/9th rounds.
Just a guess, they were in the same gym, Shawn has a pressure style like Maidana--and they just got in the ring for a few rounds.
Seemed like kee kee was working on movement a lot.
I agree 100%
But this fight is the definition of 50/50. Can't go wrong with either pick.
