Absolutely can't wait for this.
I'm expecting a competitive fight and a lot of questions answered.
Brooks chin, Porters chin, both their engines.
I think Porter wins but I think it's going to be back and forth unless Porter catches him early.Comment

The closer the fight is, the more I just can't wait. I didn't really expect Brook to make me believe, and I'm still reluctant. But I've done a lot of watching of Porter lately, other than his Malignaggi fight, and he really doesn't impress me THAT much. Although it's fair to say he's quick and very strong.
Brook looks like he's in ridiculous shape, as do Porter. But Brook is so much bigger. Didn't realize it before now how much bigger Brook is.
Not sure if it'll make a difference, but anyway, really excited for this fight - and it seems like people in the states are getting hyped for this fight as well.
What do you think Brook needs to do to win?Comment

I think he's got to keep it on the outside, get his jab off and keep a distance, I think he has the advantage at distance but I also think he doesn't have the skills or the ability to keep it there consistently and I think on the inside Porter has the quite big advantage and Brooks useless on the inside from what I've seen.
Brook will have his moments, for as time Brook can keep a distance I think he'll do some good work.
I don't know how good Porter's chin is either. Don't see Brook stopping him early though.Comment

My pick is Porter by late KO though.Comment

I think that's clear. Brook has no business on the inside with Porter, that's for sure. I think Brook needs to slow him down. Porter is a short stocky guy, maybe he's weak to the body with hard shots there. I don't think Brook can take 12 rounds of Porter's hustling.
Porter just said he's looking to be a crowd pleaser on saturday night. To me, that means he's going all out like against Paulie - Which could both be good and bad. He also said he would be surprised if it goes beyond 4.
Everybody says Porter takes a helluva shot, and I'm likely to believe them. Brook doesn't though. But he has broken his nose on several ocassions and had a few cuts which will put him in good stead.Comment

Lol that's ridiculous.
Johnny Nelson apparently said he used to come down from 13 stone. Even against Carson jones who's a relatively sizable welterweight himself.
Look at the weigh in for their second fight and see how much bigger Brook was. His legs are huge.Comment
