IBF orders Shawn Porter-Kell Brook - Ring TV

Well he can't do shit about it cuz Brook is the mandatory..
How do you like someone you don't know? Porters english was proper. It would be strange to dislike someone you don't know but that's not what he said.
It's more reasonable to like somebody you dont know rather than disliking somebody you dont know..
If we're going to be sticklers about what they say, again, he didn't say hee dislikes him. He said "I don't like him", a direct translation of precise meaning of that statement is I do not get joy from him. That's reasonable to not take joy from someone you don't know. It hits the ear funny but by definition is a reasonable statement. Especially since he qualified it by saying it was because he doesn't know him. The implication there is that he probably would like him if he knew him.

(FTR I'm just being difficult because I'm bored and I fully understand where you are coming from)
