Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is confident with Kell Brook's ability to finish off IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15KOs) inside of twelve round rounds on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Brook, the undefeated mandatory challenger to the title, has stopped 22 of 32 opponents inside the distance. Brook stopped six of his last eight opponents and rides a four fight streak of victories by TKO.
I'm rooting for Brook but I see Porter knocking him out. Brook has been badly hurt by lesser fighters. I'm hoping it'll be highly competitive so the loser's stock won't drop. It'd be nice to know there is a lot more at 147 than just Floyd and Pac.
