There are two ways to go about beating a guy like Porter, one you keep him outside where he will throw wild ass punches and you use that against him. However keeping him outside is easier said than done and you need to keep on the ball all the time because if he starts finding you it can go downhill quick especially if you don't have other forms of defense.
The other would be he is a bully, what do you do you bullies you stand up to them and force them back. Once again easier said than done because Porter is a pretty physically imposing dude for 147, but if you can force him back he is losing the fight. It would help to have good defense to frustrate him and you needs a bit of pop to make him think and keep him honest.
I don't think Brook has the skill set to keep him off for more than 3 or 4 rounds, and I don't think he has the gumption to take the fight to Porter to push him back.
Brook will struggle with Porter's foot speed and ability to get in and out. Brook is pretty flat-flooted and needs time to set. But he has good power and strings punches together well. Not sure atm, will pick closer to the fight.
