    To fight on the inside you have to fight. Porter wasn't jabbing his way in, wasn't throwing upper cuts, he wasn't punching. He was bull rushing him, leading with his head and not giving him enough space to punch.

      **** all of Brook's clinching. That **** makes me sick!
      It's fine once in awhile, but that was freaking Khan level of clinching.

      I hope Thurman, Khan wreck this dude.

          Porter needs a new trainer, 99% of the time I hate father/son combination and this is just another example. That being said Brook held every chance he got, it was way too excessive whether Porter was coming in or not. Still, the right guy won. I think the scorecards were a bit too wide and I personally had it a draw but I could see Brook winning.

            You're seriously blaming Brook for the holding

            Porter thinks he is on a football field, bull rushing, tackling and rabid punching. Brook could do nothing but to hold him.

              I thought so as well.

                Completely agree, Porter was more effective at stifling his own offense than Brook. Porter was grappling while Brook was punching.

                  LOL...12 rounds of hugging, not something I would watch.
                  This fight was ugly, holding from the get go, Brooks didn't like the pressure but in the second half I think Porters got tired.

                  I didn't see a wide card was a fairly close fight.

                  I'd like to see Brooks Vs Thurman or Khan.

                    It was a horrid fight to watch. Especially after the Bika fight.
                    I wasn't impressed by either.
                    Porter was smothering his own offense and Brook didn't do anything catchy to make me believe he won it.
                    Whatever stream I was watching actually decided to change the channel around rd 9 I suppose from boredom. I was able to find it on another but the view remained the same. Hit,hold, hit, hold, hit, hold...

                      I've never seen a streamer get so fed up with a fight that he changes the channel. I couldn't help but
