Porter v Alexander Dec 7

Looking forward to this one and its a bit under the radar. Devons somewhat hot and cold and its a real welcome to the real world for Porter. I suspect a UD for Devon and hope that Brook finally grows a set and fights him by the middle of next year.

I've never seen Porter, pretty lacklustre resume, is he a good fighter? Seems like Alexander has been talked about as an opponent for everyone in the last year or so and then he lands this. Didn't follow the Brook stuff enough to really point fingers, where was that fight going to take place?

Porter is a sold fighter and its nice to see him take this challenge in this world of careful handling with contenders and prospects. The venue for all 3 Brook attempts was the States as it should be. Brook pulled out of the first with an injury. Devon pulled out of the second with an injury. Brook pulled out again for the 3rd attempt at 5 to 12(last minute) and would not reschedule claiming he would not be healed in time and then rematched Carson Jones around the same time Devons team suggested for them to meet. I just dont think Brook wants to fight him. Now he has fought yet another eliminator for a mandatory position he already occupied and Hearn suggested afterward that venue might be a problem lol.

Cheers, struggling twice with Julio Diaz is all I saw on paper. I rate Brook but it's totally ridiculous that he hasn't fought anyone, the guy has been a prospect for a decade. Would have thought the fight would be bigger in the UK though, does Alexander actually draw well in St Louis? I guess he must.

U guys hear about the recent gym war between Porter and Kirkland?? Porter tried to quit after 5 rds supposedly.

Either way, Alexander has too much experience for this kid..
