Comments Thread For: Porter Says Devastating KO Can Happen To Brook

[M Bison]

Brook wasn't convincing when I saw him, I think Porter will streamroll him. And why so many people come with this "Porter struggled against ulio Diaz" talk? I think we can say that's the past, since that time, he beat easily Devon and Malignaggi, both are way better fighters than Julio Diaz.

If this is the case then why does an actual fighter like Porter need to bring up fights like Carson Jones?
Kell clearly won the rematch and the other fights from there on...

Double standards at its best.

[mathed]

Porter could have lost against Diaz, Brook could have lost against Jones, both guys got revenge in their respective rematches. This is a pretty even fight, make it happen, enough with the excuses.

[fistic flow]

Porter might wear down Brook if he gets caught against the ropes continually. But Brook has a different line of attack, and I think his right hand will keep Porter honest enough not to be jumping in the way he did against DA and PM. People say Brook doesn't have an inside game, but he jabs, steps back and circles and he's going to be measuring the bounce, bounce, jump in attacks of Porter. I think Brook pulls this off and shows stylistically he's a level above.

To be fair, I believe there can be a case to be made for either being victorious. I'm a Brook fan, possibly as I've been a fan of Brendan Ingle fighters since the early '90s. Brook can punch, he is also a slick boxer but, as with a few of Brendan's other lads in the past, when he steps up in class, he's still slick and elusive but when he gets cracked, it's usually clean with his head in the air. Neither Carson Jones or Senchenko dropped him either, in fact he destroyed Senchenko shortly after and Jones was no world class slickster by any stretch but he can certainly pop a bit so in truth, no one actually knows quite how good Brook is. No doubt we'll find that out in Sept. All fighters are entitled to off nights and prior to Paulie and Devon Alexander, Porter was relatively untested himself.
He WAS chilling against Paulie to be fair but nothing was coming back and there is a possibility that Paulie just 'got old'. It's very easy too for keyboard Gladiators to overlook injuries sustained in the preparation to fights and simply put things down to someone having 'swallowed it'.

Plus there is also the possibility Porter's spanking of Paulie flattered his power too.

I can't see Porter steamrolling through Kell like he did Paulie, Kell has power in his shots to keep him at bey, will be a tough fight for Kell to come away with the win, but I don't think Porter will have it all his own way.

[junior gong]

He could also knock Porter out. This is a very evenly matched fight, if Kell fights to the max of his abilities he'll win this.

[fight_professor]

Porter will destroy Brook. Brutally.

[5*General]

I think there records are pretty similar in all fairness, I can't see this gulf in class that suggests Porter's gonna roll through Brook. Brook's last 10 opponents are 332-59 including 2 former champs and 2 former challengers. That's pretty decent opposition in any weight division. Porter's 236-49 in his last 10. Maybe its a case of American fight fans and possibly fighters not being knowledgeable about foreign fighters or their pedigree until they appear on American TV, but I don't think Brook's in any deeper against Porter than Porter is against Brook.

Porter is clearly a different prospect since the first Diaz fight, let's not deny this.

But I also feel Brook has yet to show his best. Porter should be considered favorite for the stoppage nonetheless.
