Brook was the underdog because he hadn't fought a soul before last night. His best win was against Senchenko. That's not gonna get anyone any hype or support. Porter had beaten Alexander and Malignaggi.
Damn, I just thought about what Kell Brook did!

Mathew Hatton probably hits harder than Porter
Porter also never landed anything of significance, all he was doing was bum rushing and charging forwards with bodyshotsComment

No such thing as underdog when you are the bigger guy. It's ******. KOing Malignaggi doesn't automatically mean you can beat everybody. It's ******.
Fight was total garbage. Porter fought the way he did because he's short. Brook's answer to inside fighting was to clinch and nothing but clinch. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt and blame it on Porter, 6th round came, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, it's the same clnching defense over and over again with no attempt at fighting without the holding. I'm sure I was not the only one. People in the audience started to leave. They got sick of the clinching.
I'll never know why people appreciate these types of fighters.Comment

The ref should do something about these types of fights where clinching is excessive. OR not do anything at all. Let them clinch and fight.
In a way, the clincher is being aided by the ref. Porter had two opponents in that fight. Porter should have requested the ref in the Berto vs Guerrero fight. Clinching should have consequences, and not rewarded.Comment

Porter is overrated as hell. He knocked out Paulie and everyone started calling him a power puncher when his wins all went to decision once he stepped up in competition.Comment
