First we had Maidana exposing Broner.
And now Brook exposing Porter.
Been a fan of Brook for a couple of years now. He did what I expected him to do. Relaxed counter-punching. Have to admit I haven't seen Porter before, but was not impressed.
Charging in with his head down. Wild punches.
Referee was good in the way he gave them every chance to work out of the clinches. Bit strange how he let Brook hold all night though. But he did let Porter hit behind the head regularly all night too. So swings and roundabouts.
Funny how the Americans here wanna point to the holding and conveniently ignore the rabbit punching.
Porter caused TWO accidental cuts coming from butts in one fight.
Always good to see the dirty ****y Yank get beat by the slicker Brit
Even better to see him making excuses after the fight and then saying "But I don't wanna make excuses" :bottle:
If the poster thinks he was "exposed" I guess he never saw him fight!!!
He fought the same style he always displays so where's the hype?
Don't you watch boxing or was this the first time you saw these boys fight?
Why the "U.S." dig???? Don't you know that without us you'd be speaking German? Damn azz!
Porter is a one dimensional fellow and I think Brook is also, I don't like the way Brook freezes as punches come in. Either way I thought the ref did a sub par job the holding should have been eliminated by the 6th round. Also Porter did a fare amount of holding himself in the clinches.
As for the "rabbit shots" if your opponent isn't resting his head on your left shoulder they won't be rabbit punches!!!! Lowering your head to a certain point and resting your head on your opponents shoulders is illegal. Punch away!
Garbage fight to watch put a ref that will make them box/fight then it won't be such a stinker!!
Another point to the OP don't degrade the fighter that your favorite guy just beat, it means his win didn't mean anything! Another Dumb Azz statement.
Ray.
Come on can't we all just get along? Lol I swear this happens Everytime a European goes against an American. In future don't use the words eurobum or ameriCAN, actually look at footage of the fighters involved and don't get butthurt when a fighter of your nationality loses. Just be pleased that the welter division is starting to heat up again.
Just like Danny did khan and ward did froch.
Now....this is closer to an example of a hype job being exposed. Why?
Because the Americans won pretty easy.:kiss:

That's a bit much.
These guys you mentioned are not hype jobs and if they are then your not giving much credit to the winners who didn't exactly have an easy win.
Hype job would have been disposed of quick and easy..American or whatever.

remember when hopkins landed all the clean punches on calzaghe and made calzaghe whiff at air but calzaghe still won because he pressed the fight and hopkins held too much...now brook holds twice as much as hopkins in a much more competitive fight and he schooled porter. boxingscene to the rescue! there are no constants on boxingscene except tunney being racist and cesar rene cuenca being undefeated.
Realest post I've read in a while.
I will be willing to take all your points if that fight happens. Thurman isn't a 5 foot midget.
And Brook isn't just another US bum with all the hype that can't fight his way out of a wet paper bag, or away from the comfort of his home living room.
Thurman is packing serious china bro....you better get the dustpan and brush for the clear up job. Get the Kleenex tissues too to wipe away the tears after it happens
I wonder what would have happened if jack reiss was the ref here. He wouldn't have stood for any of that holding or rabbit punches. Porter definitely wasn't exposed but I'll admit a lot of people really overhyped him. He constantly rabbit punched and was never called out by the ref but brook held a lot. It was pretty ugly overall but kell did enough to win. He did however highlight porter's flaws but kell wasn't able to fight on the inside as much so he had to hold. If kell was better at inside fighting it wouldn't look as ugly. But it's great how butthurt people get when a so called "eurobum" wins in a competitive fight.
Thurman next.....he's packing serious china and is a KO waiting to happen
Agreed, I think brook only has issues with pacquaio and he isn't American....
On a different night brook may have been penalised... I'll look forward to seeing him again in a more pleasing fight.
You'll hopefully see him when Khan will KO him at the Wembley Stadium...
Yeah expose is an exaggeration. But it sure is funny to see the Americans get wound up.
We have to deal with a lot more of these kinda threads whenever a UK fighter gets beat. So we should be allowed to have our moment and bait threads when the boot is finally on the other foot.
It was a good fight albeit it a scrappy one.
Brook clinched too much.
Porter rabbit punched too much.
But if the ref is letting it all go then they are obviously gonna take advantage and carry on doing it.
It was a close-ish fight. Brook clearly won, but it wasn't a landslide.
Lmao, the UK has always been sub-par to US in boxing.
Bradley > Witter
Pacquiao/Money > Hatton
Danny > Khan
This is a 1-off instance, and even then it was a sh*t fight all around.
It's time to change your username bro. "PorterIsPast" - sounds about right
no tunney(or his sad clone) have you even seen hopkins-calzaghe? that fight looks like hagler-hearns compared to wlad's fights, brook-porter or some of the other clinchfest sh-it i've seen lately.
btw I never defended hopkins clinching in that fight but have always said and proved(with videos) that he landed almost all the clean punches in that fight therefore he deserved to win. now when someone else clinches even more than hopkins the clinching isn't even brought up or the same people that said calzaghe won because hopkins spoiled too much are now saying clinching is a "great tactic" or that he "knew how to handle porter"
You're a second person that accused me of being Freedom's alt. Feel free to PM mods and check if it's actually true :lol1:
Clinching was a part of Brook's tactic for this fight genius. Wlad does it because of his chin and I can't blame him. Wheter you like it or not, clinching is a part of boxing. Just ask Andre Ward and Bernard Hopkins - :unitedsta
Haven't seen the fight yet, but from what I'm reading in the rbr threads, isn't "expose a bit of an exaggeration?
One PED user down, another one to go,
Brook will do the job again

pacquiao is from the phillipines, garcia is 100 percent puerto rican, and hopkins is an alien. usa has nothing left. well maybe eric crumble.
Yeah, and you hating on every Euro fighter that beats great American hope or dominates HW division. It's funny how you keep bashing Wlad for cliniching yet you go apeshit whenever someone mentions Hopkins - Calzaghe :lol1:
