      On a serious note I think Porter would take his time, because Brook has a good right hand and a good jab. He wouldn't bum rush him like he did Paulie.

        He'll probably box him like he did Julio Diaz. Very effective early on and quick.

          He might not be slick but he gets inside and that's where he's effective, I like Porter but I think he's roided out of his mind with that good ****

            I like how people overlooking Porter's win over Davon based on "Devon can"t punch". Alexander maybe not the biggest puncher but Brook neither and Alexander is a very skillfull and typical "hard to look good against" fighter who was considered as a #5-#8 fighter in the (probably) strongest divison and he is still ranked at #10. So I wouldn't look over that fight. Porter sometimes really just ragdolled him and looked good against Devon. I think Porter will easily beat Brook. Maybe Brook has more power than devon and has a solid jab, but otherwise not that fast and dynamic and he wasn't so convincing when I saw him and the opponents were mosty just deomestic level fighters so the only way that he'll win this fight if he improved alot since his last fight what I don't believe. So Porter wide UD or KO/TKO.
            In fact I think Alexanderis a betterfighter than Brook and Devon would won that match if they'd met.

              In the 1st fight? He busted his nose, but Brook won 8-9 rounds clearly. Jones worked hard, but Brook made the majority of his punches miss.

              Brook is beating Porter. I agree with all Dan has said on Porter. His opponents have helped him look that good. Stopping Paulie isn't that big an accomplishment at this point.

                you really think porter is "flat footed"?


                and yes, the first fight. the great carson jones almost added another scalp to his belt.

                if carson jones has you on the ropes, what are you going to do against shawn porter?

                    i think shawn porter knocks floyd mayweather out.

                    he obviously loses a UD in mayweather's prime, but floyd's legs looked awful in the maidana fight. he was even on the ropes against cotto. he's 37.

                      Fighters improve. Porter went from struggling in spots against decent fighters to putting it all together against the top 10 of his division. Brook has the better foundation and fundamentals. Porter may not be as aggressive as he against Paulie, but he lunges. It's part of how he fights and Brook's straight right will be finding the target frequently.

                      Carson Jones gets him on the ropes a lot and he misses the majority of it, except for a few sequences in rounds he won. Porter isn't just gonna muscle Brook around the ring. Brook himself is a big, strong WW.
