Comments Thread For: Porter-Brook Deal Reached For August 9 in New York

[El Malo.]

Brook is getting stopped under 9 rounds.

[Mitchell Kane]

this is a 50/50 fight, porters value right now is a little overestimated

I definitely agree with the second part, I'm not sure about the first.

But some people are getting carried away with that Malignaggi KO.

We're going to see what happens when a guy that based his career fighting bums faces a guy that got to the top the old fashion way of fighting veterans and former champions

Great 50/50 fight I've got to back my boy Kell Brook, this will be his coming out party if he shows up.

If? Dude Porter is hungry as hell. I like Brook but this is a HUGE step up for him and he isn't ready for what he will see against Porter. He shouldn't have gotten hurt when he had Alexander. That was a 50/50 fight. I favor Porter heavily right now. This is absolutely the wrong fight at the wrong time for Brook plain and simple.

Brooks don't like pressure and likes to fight at a pace. Porter got this unless Brooks can hurt him.

Brooks hasn't fought anybody close to Porter. I hope Brooks don't pull out of the fight

If this fight becomes a war, Porter will win. And I think it is going to be a tough physical fight, not a chess match.

Styles make fights, and Porter is adept at not fighting in the range that Brook fights at. Brook has good reach and makes excellent use of it leaning out. Brook's defense also largely depends on his offense, use combos to stop the other guy from punching. But, his speed is flat out average, but he has timing.

Porter will not be at the range Brook will want him at, and then we'll see what Brook can do. Brook doesn't use his feet much, he's never had to since he's only fought tomato cans, yet he does have a decent upper cut, that may potentially spoil some of the ambush tactics.

Brook hasn't been exposed to much variety or difficulty, while Porter has shown he can handle two slick boxers. I genuinely think Alexander outboxing Brook was a possibility.

I wonder how much Brook is cursing having this fight instead of the Alexander one? I want Porter to win, because then he will fight Thurman. If Brook wins, sigh. That belt will disappear into the UK where Brook will fight decent/mediocre domestic fighters. Brook sure won't be fighting Thurman next.

I'm pretty sure Porter will win, and I might wager some money on it. Lets see what the bookies think.

Porter is a big boy, and has years of sparring with pacman...

And that's when pacman was looking like a god damn comic book character.

Porter is going to blast brook to pieces.

[Pigeons]

Glad to hear it. Glad it's in America. Good luck to both men.

Brook reacts very passively to feints and opens his guard up. If Porter feints well he will probably win, maybe with a leaping left hook.

Brook to get mauled by Porter.
