    After Brook laces Porter

    He had to strip to make weight
    He was drained, I knew he was too dry
    Sweating is a good sign in heat. Shows he's hydrated as well. Porter was dry as a bone and had to strip naked. Not saying it's a problem either way, but I'd rather be sweating for sure.

    Both look in great shape, Porter chilled out and smiley, Brook determined and aggressive.

    Roll on saturday night!

        Serious question: is 80F like an inferno to you guys?

          Yeah it is. That is like the hottest day of the year over here lol
          Isn't the air a lot thinner over there too?

            lol, I'm legitimately surprised by that. Kell sweating a lot could suggest he's not very well acclimated, 'cause 80F literally is a nice day over here. So Porter not breaking a sweat isn't a sign of trouble (doesn't he live in Vegas? It's even worse there), but sweating of course suggests Kell probably isn't drained at least.

            I'll say this though: Brook is lucky it's not 90+. Even 100+ isn't uncommon here in summer. I'll be curious to see how his stamina holds up.

              My guess is not great because I question his stamina in general let alone on that climate.

              He says he does the weight different now and is in better shape but in the first Jones fight his tank was empty after 6 rounds and literally it was empty.

                i've been looking forward to this fight for some time now,
                my prediction is that i think brook will outbox porter with his boxing skills,
                and the way porter attacks, he rushes in, he seems a bit uncoordinated,
                and he is going to get caught with a heavy right hand,
                brook by KO...

                  The one thing that may well let him down is his stamina, its true in the past it has been clear he struggles late on but he has looked to have improved on this espescialy after the Carson fight, dont think it will be an issue as he looks in better shape than ever

                    Many people social media say they think Porter looked drained and it worries them.
