Porter has already made a little name for himself. But I liken this step over the pond for Brook as Naseem Hamed's step over the pond, but with a little more at stake and without all of the fanfare that Hamed got when Hamed fought Kevin Kelley.

This fight will show one of several things:
1. If Brook is a hyped up bum

2. If Brook is a fringe contender, considering how many rounds he goes before being stopped or all out humiliated.

3. If Brook can deliver a show against a good fighter, as Hamed did against Kevin Kelley (with Porter being more dangerous than Kelley was at the time Kelley fought Hamed)

Or...

4. Kell Brook is a Joe Calzaghe that came to America early and dominates good fighters, decent champions and can show the ability to win out on such a high-stakes stage.

This is certainly Brook's moment than it is Porter's moment.
I'm gonna go out on limb here and I think the answer is #2

I don't see ANYTHING special in Kell Brook. I hope he is not reading this because I know a lot boxers read these Boxing forums, but I just can't see him winning.

He's in DEEP.

Kell Brook is one them fighters, that just looks good on paper because he's 32-0.

He's gonna have to be another Joe Calzaghe to beat Porter. I don't see any fast footwork, fast hand-speed, combos from Brook. He just seems so slow and I see Porter teeing off on Brook all day.

In fact I'll be surprised if Brook makes a fight out of this, for I see a very one sided humiliation for him. That's just how I see it.
Brook's main selling point is his consistency and concentration. He sticks with solid boxing fundamentals. I don't see him being chinny, either... which means he's going to be in the fight for the entire duration.
