We may have just witnessed the 2016 Fight of the Year at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn as Keith Thurman retained his WBA welterweight title by unanimous decision against Shawn Porter.
Thurman and Porter put on a show for 12 rounds in an action-packed thriller that saw both fighters land massive shots. The two fighters were more than willing to press the action and throw punches, and in the end, it was Thurman's ability to land clean, heavy shots that won out over Porter's smothering attacks on the ropes.
While many fights start with a feeling out period, Thurman-Porter wasted no time getting to the action.
