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.
