Thurman-Porter Is ON

Your long nightmare is over, my friends.

After months of smooching and petting, they will do the deed.

Will they? Won't they?

This guy wants it but that one don't…this guy wants more money..that guy is scared…

We heard it all since October. Hell, I over-contributed to the dynamic, I admit.

Come March 12, talk is out the window, and we will judge them on their walk…will Keith Thurman or Shawn Porter be one step higher on the 147 rung, when they decide personal supremacy in a Connecticut ring, and on CBS, on a PBC card?

Finally, cheap talk will cease. And truth will be told, in chapters featuring sweat and blood. That is the boxing way, my friends. Enough flirting, time for fucking. Foreplay finished, it's go time. March 12, Thurman and Porter…one rises, and one recedes.

Here is the release which went out today…finally, lol:
