Porter vs. Brook- Brook's testing time!

[Violent Demise]

I'm expecting Brook to get run over

[tysonesque]

Brook always looks good/smooth when he's on top, but he won't be having things all his own way in this one and I think he's mentally fragile.

I expect a Porter win, but I think it will be a good fight.

i wonder what it would do for brooks career if he wins this fight. will he start getting bigger fights? or will he just kind of stay stagnant? i guess it depends how he wins it.

we all know that if porter wins, he is on the track to bigger and better things. hopefully he will fight thurman in the near future.

Brook-Khan will be massive in the UK if Brook wins - stadium/PPV. Plenty of top fights to be made at welter if you have a belt.

Porter-Thurman are being linked for the Mayweather stakes. Good place to gatecrash

I've been one of Kells biggest critics and he does step straight back, chin in the air with his lead hand down. Like putting an ad out for an overhand right. Now I have to assume that he knows this also as does his camp and will adjust. I mean at least move the head on the way out to the right lol.

He just might be one of these guys that fights to the level of his opponent. That is certainly not a rare trait in boxing. That interview that was posted awhile ago kind of turned me around on how I felt about him as a person. Not the Hamed clone that he comes across as after his domestic fights. He seemed absolutely focused. He certainly has the skills to do the job and tbph I kind of think Porter is a one hit wonder.

For any hard core Brook fans out there, if I were them I'd be more worried about him folding mentally. He has to block the crowd out. Get hypnotized if need be I'll go against the grain and take Brook in what will be perceived by some as an upset and Dirrell in the co-feature. Both wins having the possibility of ending prior to the final bell.

The Porter Brook is facing this weekends is too big of a step up in class for Brook at this stage. It would have been better to face Guerrero, who is on his way down, or Paulie, who might be retired, or even Alexander, or Lamont Peterson were he to move up. Guys like that to prepare him for this stage. Porter will be shockingly better than what Brook is used to. Porter appears to coming into his own and peaking right before us. I see a 60/40 fight in favor of Porter, who I like by stoppage in the biggest win of his career. In Brook's defense, if he can hold his ground and box a bit, he's got a good shot. I'm looking forward to the fight and at Stub Hub Center, which is a good venue for fights.

Now, if I'm a Brook fan, even in loss, Brook can look good if he fights smart and this fight goes the distance. If he gets beat up, his team will regret the soft approach they've taken with his career.

I think this is going to be a world-unveiling of Brook... I'm leaning towards that possibility.

I am really looking forward to this fight and hope Kell wins and sets up a big fight with Khan.
