Thread: Kell Brook v Shawn Porter - who wins?

So who we picking....?
Really think Brook can win this but he might have to get off the deck to do so.
Can see him being dropped early then stopping Porter in style around 7-8.
Already looking forward to this one

Not watched Alexander-Porter yet but thank fuck that ends Brook-Alexander.

Who is Porter promoted by? Matchroom might be able to get that in the UK.

Brook must be sick he would have knocked 7 bells out of Alexander,! as Porter goes he gets done
in the first half of the fight.
What I understand in the amateurs he fought at Middle weight, he lost to De Gale.

Porter would be too strong for Brook, Id say he stops him in 8 or 9.

Wasn't thus the guy who had major problems with Julio Diaz (aside from Khan)?

That's what I thought, didn't see that fight but he did get a draw or a SD with Diaz and I figured he would lose last night just for that. Maybe Diaz is still pretty handy, he could certainly fight some years back. Porter looked pretty good last night though if you didn't see it, puts a lot of pressure on, has some pop and takes a good shot, pretty good skills and engine. I think Brook is the more talented fighter but he hasn't been in against top guys despite being a pro forever, and he struggled a lot in his toughest fight yet. Would like to see this one, it's certainly not a safe fight for either.

Brook wins

Kell Brook. He'd have beaten Alexander and I think he'd stop Porter. Porter is faster than I thought he was but Brook has enough power to keep him from rushing in like he did with Devon.

It's hard to know. If Brook fights any way like he did in Jones 1 surely Porter stops him.

Looks like this fight wont be happening after all. Porter doesn't have to face Brook for 6 months as a new champion and can fight just about anyone he wants in the meantime (voluntary). So unless Brooks team come up with a shitloads offer, which they wont, they'll both be fighting someone else.

it makes khans performance against Diaz look decent doesnt it?

I watched Diaz v Porter and thought if was going to go either way it should have gone to Diaz

Then Khan beats Diaz, a fight i have seen twice and although khan was rocked a couple of times (and down) he won every round reasonably comfortably when he wasnt hurt

now porter beats alexander

so really all things fair perhaps khans last win should have been against the guy who was robbed off the man who beat the man or something like that

Porter/Devon does not make it clear that Brook beats Devon anymore then it leads me to believe Porter beats Brook. I still think Devon would have beaten Brook regardless...,even if Brook were to beat Porter.

nnnnana aaaaaaaamaaaaaarrrrrrrrr

if you think devon would have beaten brook you know nothing about boxing

i love it when people come out with the "you must know nothing about boxing" shit

Brooks has got his head together and would beat Porter and Alexander, hope he gets the opportunity and takes it this time.

Both guys have impressed me with their recent performances I could see either guy winning on their best night 50/50 fight
