Comments Thread For: Brook: If Chocolate Brownie Right Lands, I'll Finish Porter

[Wicky]

Nah I'm kidding bro.

I do think it will be a tough fight for both. It really depends on how Brook deals with the step up in class. ... We get to see a good scrap that potentially leads to another bigger one.

The step up in class I don't see being a problem – Senchenko was a step up and got dominated. Kell will be motivated after the Alexander fight fell through so many times. I see ring rust & the step up in the scale of event being a bigger issue. California feels very different form Sheffield. Plus, I think Kell would either need a KO or to totally outclass Porter to win in the US, neither of which is likely. If the fight is close, which I think it will be, I doubt Kell will get the nod. Hopefully he puts on a big enough performance to get invited back to the world stage.

I absolutely agree.

I've actually changed my stance a little more after watching certain parts of Porters bouts. There are flaws and the wow factor from Porter came with his bout against Paulie and no disrespect to Malignaggi but his current state and feather fists meant Porter didn't need to respect his punches at all.

Kell got hurt against Senchenko the round he KO'd him which raises questions around his chin. But If Kell doesn't let Porter go all WWE on him then it's his fight. Porter will be having to avoid a stiff jab that could knock his head back.

I want Brook to succeed - more importantly to see a good domestic bout being mustered up against Khan.

Here we go again.

He was hit with a temple shot. It has 0 to do with his chin.

Spot on Bughuul! I'd love to see Khan fight Brook, especially for a belt. Khan's got some great tools but his "Achilles Chin" and off-balance footwork in later rounds favour Brook winning by a solid KO. I can understand why Brook wants Khan's scalp so badly. Khan's career was given so many gifts but Brook –*probably a more complete boxer – has never received much recognition.

Okay, so his equilibrium was effected due to a temple shot.

Does that appeal to you?

Well I hope get to see what we want

I agree, mostly because he was and is a more marketable fighter within UK.
However if there is any reason why Brook is behind it has to do with management. They held him back far too long I suppose.
So much talent and skill.

Im not saying he has a good chin or not but being hurt by a temple shot has nothing to do with chin. ANYBODY can be hurt by one of those.

Well that's a more fair judgement then mine. Excuse my ignorance.

Comments about a weak chin, glass jaw or whatever have little to do with anatomy. They're just a turn of phrase to highlight that a boxer is fragile or susceptible to big punches. It's all BS anyway... any boxer that's been training for weeks-on-end to maximise his power will KO ANY other boxer if he connects well. Even "granite chinned" Froch got put on the canvas by Groves.
