    I think he's pretty terrible as well in truth, and that's a good point made by SilkeyJoe(how do you do that mention thingy?). It does seem he'll often announce how a round has gone when there is stil half of it remaining, and then call the rest of the action to suit his pick, or just ignore it completely. The fact that I also find his voice incredibly irritating makes him an easy dislike for me :P

    You add @ in front of their name. @p4pking or @Silkeyjoe
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I thought Watt was off too. However, similar to him I did think Brook looked outhustled and harried for the first few rounds. Brook was definitely down at the half way mark and I was worried about him with Porter being so reckless with his octopus/goat impersonations and Brook getting cut quite badly early on. To his credit, Brook kept his head and showed real intelligence and maturity in the second half of the fight. Though Porter was busy, it was less and less effective round by round and all of the well timed punches were coming from Brook. Overall, I think it was a close fight and just as Watt was off, I also think the judges had it a bit too wide for Brook.

    Watt was definitely annoying me as the fight wore on because he was being heavily critical in rounds where Brook was doing well. I think Darke (is that his name?) wanted to correct Watt, but Watt was so noisy and loud, he was kept relatively meek and so the commentary seemed off. He should have told Watt to shut up and pay attention, but I guess you can't do that live as you yourself have to be somewhat professional.

    It was no classic, but I enjoyed the fight overall. I think Jim Watt needs to be spoken to as he seems to be in his own world at times. Maybe they should all have a card and have three cards to show balance. Just showing Jim Watt's makes it a bit off. And well done Kell Brook, I thought he handled a messy opponent with a lot of aplomb. A very good fighter.
