CARSON, Calif.- Turns out, it was Showtime ... for "The Special One," Kell Brook.

In a minor upset, Britain's Kell Brook (33-0, 22 KOs), of Sheffield, England, won a battle of undefeated welterweights and the IBF world title with a majority 12-round decision over defending champion "Showtime" Shawn Porter (24-1-1, 15 KOs), of Cleveland, Ohio, Saturday on SHOWTIME from StubHub Center in Carson, Calif.

I agree with this. I'd much rather see Khan/Brook (Khan ain't a top 5 WW but he has decent resume overall) or Brook/Marquez. Thank god Kell is not tied to any promotional company or tv network YET..

I agree about Floyd and Manny but i'm not sure about Bradley. Tim hasn't done much at WW imo. Ruslan is a 140er, JMM is a blown up 140er. Manny beat him both times. Not to mention he only has 12 KO's. I think Brook beats him.

Keith Thurman just has power and limited boxing skills.....he does have a beautiful uppercut...... but allow me to name people who beat him........
Mayweather
Pac
Marquez
Brook
Guerrero
Rios


That's right I said Rios........
Now this is all depending on if there is testing or not. ....then the list will change.....
Bradley would outbox him.....he's never been in there with a puncher.....if Amir Khan had a chin he would easily outbox him.....and last but not least Madiana would knock him out

brook you certainly held it down in there tonight. props for holding on and getting the victory. You embraced the challenge and seized victory from a worthy opponent. I still can't grasp what you accomplished.
