This is a special k thread for all the hater/knockers to show their appreciation to the new IBF champ, who didn't bottle it, didn't get run over, and beat a man that was apparently good enough for Mayweather.
You know who you are....

Congrats to you guys, I didn't think it would happen
I knew there was a better than average chance he would win. May not be a knockout, but he sure did win and won big- but not necessarily a blow out.
Brook clearly won. Glad they didn't decide to rip him off the way they did to Khan vs. Peterson.
No need to gloat Fenster. It was a close fight. I picked Brook and had him winning by 2 but wouldnt have complained if he didnt get the nod. I thought Porters game plan was poor. Opens up a lot of big fights for Brook and I hope he stays committed and focuses. Id love to see him KO Khan in a big venue in England or even get a few big fights in England that I might make the trip across the pond for. Brook v Marquez would be good to see.Quote:

Agreed, I wanted Porter to win but Brook came prepared and stifled Porters strong points. I think he did some excessive holding but as we say it isn't illegal unless the ref calls it. Brook was on the money and Porter didn't adjust. Not a blow out but Brook deserved the W.
Porter was shocking, I agree it was a close fight but it would have been a shame if he had have got it
I've seen him fight before and he wasn't that ragged

I agree Porter was awful, horrible and crude.Quote:

This isn't a gloater thread, anyone that picked Porter had reasons, fine, anyone can get a fight wrong, this is for all my fellow Saddo comrades that called Brook a shitty pants bottler over the years. Not only was Porter gonna kill the protected faker but Kell most likely wouldn't even turn up.
Brook is a possible Mayweather opponent now like Porter was, right? What have you done for me lately and all that
You know I accept I am a brook fan so might be bias but I could see any other option but to holdQuote:

But Porter initiated those clenches... he rushed in with his head on far too many occasions....Quote:
