Comments Thread For: Team Porter Upset: Kell Brook Was Holding Too Much

[gmc_rfc_06]

Porter should change his nickname to 'The Rhino' - that's all he is.

A good fighter takes away an opponents best weapon, for Kell all he had to do was stop Porter mauling and Porter was totally lost.

Whinge at the ref for not breaking you then, though you wouldn't want that either because you got caught clean a lot on the way inside.

Nothing could've got porter a W in my opinion

Typical overseas fighter, both Brook and Khan are the king of holding. They get hit and since they both have glass chins they have to hold. Khan and Brook should get two warnings and after all hat the points need to start being deducted. The referee need to be fine if he continues to allow a fighter to use this tactic. People are tired of all the blame being put on the fighter when there is a guy in the ring that suppose to be there to prevent a fighter from doing just that.....

I'm saying you went in full ****** mode, which you did.

Next I'm going to say you don't know shyt about boxing and you're clearly just butthurt that Brook beat Porter.

Nice one. Congratulations. Your guy won. He did what he had to do and he was the better man on the night. He's hell of a fighter. What more can I say... I never meant to criticize his performance if that's what you're getting so up in arms about. I do however disagree with the lax job of managing the amount of clinching that went on in that fight by the referee. It sucks the life out of a fight for the most part and turns it into a series of wash rinse repeat cycles that get redundant quick. I believe most fans want to see the guys throw punches more so than get all tangled up all of the time. I would like to think that the majority of us enjoy it most when the atheletes are held to the rules and standards of the sport.

ya it could happen but lets be fair porter was giving brook no option but to hold and porter did his fair share of holding anyway

Correct.

Brook's holding was no worse than what Porter was doing.

Khan is the real culprit for holding and pushing.

That is what cost him the Peterson fight.

Look, I despise holding too. I do. But Brook didn't really have a choice, and for the Porters to come out and moan about holding, really just shows their lack of flexibility and their hypocrisy as they were doing something that is much worse than holding throughout the fight.

That and a crooked hometown ref.

But mostly that.

This let's me know that Porter's confidence is diminished after the fight with Brook especially to make up lame excuses based off holding, which Kell really only did in the first few rounds, after that it was mostly Porter holding. Just typical excuses, complaining about holding when Shawn hit Brook in the back of the head which probably accounted for at least 20-30 punches on his ShoStats. Even Al Bernstein was complaining the whole fight about him hitting Brook behind the head constantly.......so really no argument should be givin, Porter's just mad that he believed the hype himself

well have a plan B then buddy... u cant just rush in head first the whole fight and think ur going to get the decision and porter initiated alot of the clinching if u watch closely, it was kells gameplan, the ref allowed it he used it and won, he was landing some nice shots as well.
