Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook

[ross]

Brook has been a pro for 10 years!

This is his first sniff of a world title challenge. Why?

It's the Herol Graham factor , Brook is awkward and fast , a guy difficult to look good against.

I havent followed his career but surely he has been a mandatory for someone before now? Ten years is a long time!

I have to say one of the only fights of his I bothered to watch live was against Hattons last opponent. He got rocked quite bad in the last round. Ok he stopped him soon after but. Get the impression that the opponent isnt a puncher.

Having seen a few clips Brook seems to have a nice purposeful jab and decent power but not much in the way of variety or movement. Porter also seems limited so it may just be a good fight with two evenly matched fighters.

There is something different about Brook and I've been one of his worst critics. In all but one picture I have seen he has a look. Its like he's really in the zone, determined and focused. Almost and empty look like a contract killer might have. Nothing put on about it.
Conversely Porter has that magic mushroom perma smile in cruise control thing going on.

Not that it means anything but Brook looks pretty cut.

I got porter in this by stoppage. Anyone know who else is on the card?
