Good fight! See what Brook really has

[FrankieBruno]

For Brook this is make or break

Wins this he gains a lot of respect and a possible Khan fight, and if he beats Khan he could go on to fight Floyd

If he loses this and sadly it's his own fault for waiting for so long to step up, he'll go back and end his career as a domestic level boxer

Brooks lack of good competition might be his downfall, sometimes u spend ur career fighting low level competition, it's a shock to ur system when u face someone wordclass

Porter will spank him silly.

[Hougigo]

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

[bojangles1987]

Coolio. Porter all the way.

It looks like it'll be a Haymon card on Showtime

[MrRolltide91]

Good fight

[New England]

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.

[Craveman]

Finally, a chance for Brook to redeem himself after years of fighting nobodies.
Porter will beat him anyway.
