The Official Shawn Porter-Kell Brook Master Thread

[LacedUp]

is it me or does brooks biceps look bigger?

i really do think he will KO porter,
porter rushes in and is uncoordinated,
brook has power, speed, timing and accuracy,
brook will stop porter with a right hook

I think Porter could be in better shape, but he's still in very good shape. He's quicker than Brook for sure, but his coordination and accuracy is not as good. His desire to win is probably big or as big as anyone out there I think. That's his best asset.

I think Porter's biceps look equal to Kell's. But it doesn't mean anything, look at Bradley for instance.

yea i know, but im just saying his biceps do look noticeably bigger,
i reckon porter is getting laid out, he wont know what hit him

Brook's trained like a mad man for the last 3 months. And it shows.

The disrespect he's getting from Porter's camp (constantly talking about future opponents) and from some fans is disgusting.

Take all of that Brook and use it to beat the cr @p out of this guy.

How Brook's supposed to win when he's a relatively static target that doesn't move his head much, backs straight up and can't fight inside is beyond me. Throw poor stamina and a suspect chin into the mix and it spells disaster for Kell. Porter stops him within 8.

If you still don't know what time it is, you're going to find out tonight.


hint: it's SHOW TIME

What's going to tell in this fight is if Brook can figure out Porter's rhythm, if he can't then Porter will be able to get him with his lunging attacks, if Porter can make the fight at mid range or up close, he will get the better of Brook to win a decision

Brook needs to try and take centre of the ring from round 1, and tie Porter up as soon as Porter is in range

What do you guys think?

As if that's going to be easy. Shawn Porter is not going to let you tie him up easily, and he's going to be punching you as you try and fighting you on the inside.

Or he could just step back. Porter could probably dance circles around brook.

The show will have ended for Porter by round 9.

It would be foolish to "dance" around Brook.

He'd give the bigger guy all the advantages.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I can't call it but I do think it's going to be great.

How do you think Brooks defence holds up at this level Dan?

I'm not seeing it myself. Head too static, chin too high

Unless he's made some adjustments i can see porter having a field day with his looping left and rights

His defense isn't great but I do think its a lot better than others seem to. I think people have looked to hard into the fight with Jones - He was gassed, tired of course he was going to get hit more. If he blew threw Jones I'd be more worried that fight answered a lot of questions about Brook to me anyway.
He also looked flat to me against Robbles. He is definitely hittable but he is not easy to hit clean especially when hes in his groove.
Agree with those tendencies & he brings his jab back to low but I did notice in his media day he appears to of tightened things up & was keeping his left higher & seemed to have a bit more upper body movement.

I didn't like this fight at first based on styles. Too upright, open for those big looping right hands but the more I've watched the more I think this fight strongly favours Brook.
Porters defense is totally non existent, a lot of people overuse the word 'subtle' there is nothing subtle about this guy, he literally runs face first into punches in order to try land his own.

Most are picking Porter, if Brook losses this fight to me that is the upset.
He is the bigger man, the the more skillful & technically sound fighter. He hits harder, has a much much better jab & puts his combinations together better. Far better at gauging distance.
He is quite possibly stronger & is more battle tested despite fighting lesser opposition.
This is Brooks fight to lose.
