The Official Shawn Porter-Kell Brook Master Thread

[LacedUp]

somebody mad

I got Kell Brook winning over Shawn Porter. Because Porter daddy talk to much ****. He arrogant already and haven***39;t don***39;t nothing to be .

He's still bitter I suppose.

Why wasn't Alexander given a rematch? Porter wasnt a mandatory.

Gone for Porter KO, simply because i haven't seen Kell at an elite level before. I'm hoping he makes the step up.

If any of the mods are reading, you should sticky this.

Having a similar style and being good at executing it are two different things. Broner also has the Mayweather style, but really what was it worth?



Not true at all. Even Alfonso Gomez was two inch taller. Devon, Diaz and Paulie were all an inch taller than Porter.

Porter's limited experience as you put it holds more value than Kell's.
Diaz, Alexander, Malignaggi are all world champions and have competed at a high level. Even Alfonso Gomez has been in with guys like Cotto and is supposed to be banana skin for anyone.

I'm replying late, but I see you bring up his performance against Diaz in the following posts. Diaz has world championship level experience and Porter fought him in his 19th fight as an apprenticeship bout. Brook was boxing Stuart Elwell for the British title in his 19th fight.




Julio Diaz has a higher KO % than Kell Brook, so not every single guy. Then again Porter didn't take 32 fights to get to a title either.

Porter was not protected at least up till now. He only has 24 fights, so when he gets to 32 we'll see how he compares with Kell.



If Brook was, so good they would've matched him with Bundu for the European title and not Jones (2nd time) and Robles.

Senchenko was stopped by Paulie of all people, so what does that even say about Brook's biggest win to date?

Both Devon and Paulie may not be elite or great, but again whom has Brook ever faced?



I'm honestly not a fan of either and don't think that highly of Porter, but compared to Brook he is definitely better given he has faced better opposition. Even the journeymen in the Americas (especially U.S. and Canada) try to win their fights and don't have 3-200 records.

They are naturally 20lbs smaller.
He is naturally bigger and stronger by a lot. I don't care if hes an inch or two shorter, he has a far bigger frame than those guys.
I don't care what titles Diaz held 10 frickin' years back, he is way past it and 19th pro fight or not a guy that is the size of Porter and with the supposed talent he possesses which I do not see, should not be going tooth and nail with the likes of Julio Diaz at that stage of his career. Porter started his career at MW! Yes middleweight.

Julio Diaz has a higher KO ratio? No he doesn't and even if he did hes fought at friggin' lightweight for 95% of his career.
Brook fought him again because it was a close fight and he was coming off an injury and it sold because of their previous encounter, a fight with Bundu at the time would not of sold anywhere near as much. Nobody in the U.K knew who he was, most still don't know after hes battered Purdy and Gavin. Senchenko was stopped on a cut, Brook blasted the **** out of him in 3-4 rounds.

I can't help but feel this all reverts back to Khan in someway. You dislike Brook because hes Khans rival or because Diaz arguably beat Porter and think it makes Khan going life and death encounter with him look better.

Both their resumes are poor. Brook is going to beat him he is by far the better boxer. He'll have that midget on the end of his jab all night, bending right hands around his guard and walking him down. Porter is a bum! He has no boxing ability at all, hes a damn Street fighter. Brook will easily outbox him.

The guy has nothing if people can't see it then that is their fault.

Looks like we're the only ones to put our faith in The Special One. WAR BROOK!!

Warrior words from Devon,'I truly believe Devon beats porter in a rematch

[IronDanHamza]

I think it's hard to put much faith in Brook.

What's he shown you for you to put your faith in him?

I don't think he'll get blown out but I can't see him winning.

[El Angel]

I wouldn't say he's faced anyone you could even call a puncher. His defence and head movement are pretty non existent. Chin straight up in the air, asking to have a leaping left hook bounce off it.

Damn. Even Dirk isn't picking Brook.

I think we're giving too much credit for Paulie. Brook has never fought a fighter like Porter, but vice versa is true as well. A consistent jab and plentiful counter straight rights will be Porter's undoing.

[Canelo Phresh]

So are me, Dirk, and about 5 others the only ones picking Brook?

They asked Brook whos gonna win that Porter Brook fightand he said Porter! Wait?
