Porter vs Brook done deal! August 9 in New York

Lets see what type of fighter Brooks truly is.

Maybe Brook can hurt Porter? Doesn't seem to have been considered yet. It is hard to be that confident in Kell's talents at this level apart from three things: he has a powerful jab and he is an accurate puncher, and he is too good for domestic and European level fighters - so he has to be competing at this level to be in interesting fights. But he looks like he struggles with pressure. Porter is a bit of a crappy style match-up for him.

Porters power is being somewhat overrated, how many TKO's has he scored in his last dozen fights? Brooks chin is however dodgy so u may have a point You must be an undercover fa.g. Of all the pics you can post here, you post David Hayes behind? SMH

Shawn Porter has arrived yall

Good observation about the red blood cell count, you're in the know lol. And I'm not sure, it's not like PEDs come without risk, they increase your risk of heart attack, stroke etc etc... so I'm not sure that every fighter will just willingly hop on the juice knowing the health risks. And to be fair, tests have made some strides, USADA now uses the carbon isotope ratio which detects any amount of synthetic androgens in your blood stream, irrespective of the dosage, but of course many athletes could juice off season and retain many of the benefits when they start camp. CIR only picks up exogenous testosterone. It won't pick up novel designer anabolic agents, for that you need to use a protein bioassay to test for androgen receptor stimulation along with with recruitment of nuclear receptor coregulators. This technique isn't get yet used in routine testing.

they're probably all juiced to the gills. PEDs have come a long way. they dont' all make you big any longer. the basic one is increasing your red cell count. more red cells = better gas tank. testosterone does this, as do many of the other hormones. i'd be on the f#cking big boy gas if i were a pro athlete. the tests are a joke, and you get f#cking paid if you're good. erythropoiesis-stimulating agents can now be easily picked up using biomarker tests for soluble transferrin receptor levels, the percentage of macrocytes, serum EPO levels, reticulocyte hematocrit (RetHct) and blood hematocrit. Blood doping is pretty much impossible to get away with if the right test are done.

the leaping left hook.....

Porter is going to put Brook back on domestic cash after this fight, no way he can withstand the power and relentlessness that he brings to the table. For those who don't know Kell is a really small dude in person, he looks tiny when you see him, just on fight night in the pictures he looks ripped to death that exaggerates his appearance somewhat.

when this happened live i said aloud, "are you f#cking kidding me?" are you f#cking kidding me? http://cdn.fansided.com/gif/Shawn_Porter_vs_Paulie_Malignaggi_2.gif

Yeah, Jacobs-Fletcher...really gets me excited just thinking about it. It'll get the NY people excited. If anything, they should try to put that and Quillin on there Trout vs Dawson? Who is Dawson? daniel Dawson... he's Australian

WBN said it earlier, but after their last "exclusive" needed confirmation. Jacobs/Fletcher probably on there since it's in BKN along with Trout/Dawson Porter wins this Trout vs Dawson? Who is Dawson?

Good fight if its at Barclay I might have to get tickets hope they put Thurman on the under-card to set up a possible fight in the future.

Good fight, glad its finally signed with a date. So this is the first card on showtime post GB. Interesting how this play out.

Well they're trying to maxmize their Barclay's deal I guess. Also they'll probably have some NY fighters on there. Fletcher/Jacobs will probably be on there Yeah, Jacobs-Fletcher...really gets me excited just thinking about it.

Yes, that's good news. Finally Brook gained confidence to pursue his yearly dreams (every year seems to be Kells year - even if his opponent is Carson Jones). Honestly, it's about time and he ended up having to fight a guy who's more powerful than Alexander and Bradley. Porter by KO Or Brook by UD

I hate seeing fights get venues where neither fighter has a fanbase. This translates into poor ticket sales. But I am happy the fight has been made.

I'm genuinely happy for Brook. Let's see what all the hype was about.

porter will leap from across the hudson river and land the left hook on brook's chin. knockout inside eight. porter is a scary welterweight. he's too strong to clinch, has fast feet, and has punching power. Exactly the way I see this going. Porter closes distance like crazy. Brook's going to be in trouble. After round 3 he'll be fighting just to tread water.

Once someone mentioned he hung out in the Mayweather gym a light bulb lit up, instantly.
