Comments Thread For: IBF: Porter-Malignaggi Winner Must Face Kell Brook

[FistsOfFurry]

Paulie got this. Porter too in experienced.

[SnakeVen0m]

Please lord, let Porter win, PLEASE!!! I'd hate for Kell's first championship fight to be against Paulie.

[CTC JOHNNY]

Don't count out the magic Man just yet!! Porter needs a good showing he looked horrible fighting Alexander!!

[umop-ap!sdn]

SMH Paulie may just beat both of them.

Porter: Very short, and compact, likes to fight inside but can also box from a range, however cannot box as well as Paulie IMO so it would be in his favor to try and win an inside messy fight like it was for most of the Alexander fight. But Paulie's crafty veteranism might allow him to steal enough rounds to get a split decesion in a boring messy fight with a lot of clinching, not so much hand to hand action. Would be a pop pop clinch fight, with each fighter trying to land first before they both clash and end up in a clinch after each exchange.

Brook: Brook is still unproven, and although having power and good speed, it's not enough to say he could take Paulie out and I don't see him outpointing the ****roach that is Paulie. I don't call him that [roach] in disrespect, I mean it in the sense that you can never get rid of Paulie easily. You can get him to stay quiet for a little while but he will eventually be back and more pesky than before as he adapts very well.

Good for Paulie, signing with Haymon was SMART as he IS a good enought pure BOXER to beat a lot of the youngans currently trying to make names for themselves.

Paulie gettin dat $$ with Al Haymon now.

[Corelone]

I never thought Paulie would get to this, though I defended his courage and hesrt. He fooled me. Good for Paulie.

Brook is the mandatory later in the year. He will fight the winner of this fight.

I still don't know how this can't be understood.

Maybe because hes been a mandatory challenger since 2010 of one version of a title or another and the hype he gets for someone who has never won a strap is amazing. I know because i follow the UK domestic scene quite keenly.

It maybe his luck with the injuries or whatever, but it has certainly become a joke. Also he has two extremes to him where he either wants a star like Khan and since that isnt working out it all the way down to glorified club fighters like Saldivia.

Malignaggi is the new Zab Judah.

Except Paulie wasn't suppose to get where he is at today.

If you think about it Paulie literally jabbed his way to now his 5th World title shot and winning titles in 2 divisions. Of course to our nsb over achievers in life this is peasant stuff, but i still think its one hell of an accomplishment.

[Jack Napier]

looks like Brook will finally get his title shot
neither Porter or Paulie is a big enough star to bypass him
poor Brook's been a mando for 1 of the sanctioning bodies forever
don't think he'd beat either of these guys, but whatever
looks like IBF is the odd belt out in the big WW star mix
