Porter is a sold fighter and its nice to see him take this challenge in this world of careful handling with contenders and prospects. The venue for all 3 Brook attempts was the States as it should be. Brook pulled out of the first with an injury. Devon pulled out of the second with an injury. Brook pulled out again for the 3rd attempt at 5 to 12(last minute) and would not reschedule claiming he would not be healed in time and then rematched Carson Jones around the same time Devons team suggested for them to meet. I just dont think Brook wants to fight him. Now he has fought yet another eliminator for a mandatory position he already occupied and Hearn suggested afterward that venue might be a problem lol.
