Shawn Porter vs. Kell Brook

[armin]

I had porter basically because neither dude landed shit and he was more agressive but that fight was complete shit and I hope they both get annihilated by whoever they face next for that piece of shit match

Bika v Dirrell was worse.

Surprised at those two "generous" scorecards but Brook def nicked that.
Ugly fight and Porter was exposed as a one dimensional fighter

Kell did what he had to do and fair play to him!

I had Brook winning before the fight, right after the fight and will be winning more with huge paydays in his future and a few more titles.

Brook won last night. Porter tried to frustrate him with rough-house tactics that didn't work- Brook just let him hold, and stepped back and delivered a jab and a left hook on the back foot on the way out.

Porter had no response for the after-clench combinations that Brook hit him with after Porter tried to rough him up, and had to let go.

Brook had him to a tee.

I hear what you are saying, it was an ugly fight. I really don't see what Brook could have done differently. With Porter trying to steamroll him, he had to do whatever it took to survive. As it turned out Brook was better at surviving than Porter was at steamrolling. Brook stayed calm, cool, and collected whereas Porter became frustrated and could not change his game plan to fit the circumstances.

Porter fought a horrible fight and had no backup plan to not being able to steam roll Brook. The Bika fight was just awful. Bika was just an awful champion who never beat a champion. He deserved a few title shots but never deserved a world title. Cant see him doing anything in the future. Figueroa fight was fun but cant see Figueroa going to far at 140, Hes too easy to hit and stronger fighters should be able to keep him off them and hurt him.

Brook definitely won the fight. I had it 116-112. I think the scorecards were fine. The draw was a bit generous but not terrible. I'm just not sure why porter didn't use his jab at all. If he would have used a jab to get inside he would have been much more effective.

Shawn Porter is a likeable enough guy, and accepted his loss with dignity. That being said, I don't like the way he fights. It didn't rub me the wrong way the first time I saw him... but the act is wearing thin. It was an ugly fight... but all because of Shawn Porter. What Brook has in counter-punching ability, ring generalship, and decent power..... Shawn makes up for it with head-butting, rabbit-punching, and useless mauling.


I didn't get to see the typical mannequins with the number of punches landed in various regions..... but Kell's mannequin should have an additional region in the back of the head.

Being straight, the only shit fight I saw fought was by Porter. Thought Brook looked sharp and competent and was landing far cleaner shots on a guy doing everything to make it a WWE cage match. Its refreshing to see a heavily hyped up 'star' stripped down to the frame and the underdog get his due. Resets perspective every time we anoint some guy and start talking superfights prematurely. Porter has a lot to work on.

Yes,....the day after I notice
