    Comments Thread For: Frank Warren on Brook's Win, Roc Nation, Harrison

    by Frank Warren

    Congratulations to Sheffield welterweight Kell Brook who delivered a world title to these shores last weekend and the fourth for the Ingle boxing factory.

    'The Special One' won ugly in a very close tussle, bagging a tight majority decision. It was a messy but gripping 12 round encounter. Though Jim Watt at Sky Sports had 'Showtime Shawn' Porter retaining, two of the three official judges- the only opinions that counted- sided with the Yorkshire man.

    Kenny Porter, father-trainer of the deposed champ has lodged a formal complaint to the IBF accusing Brook of excusive holding. Brook wasn't at his fluid best but deserves praise for getting himself across the line against a Yank in America.

      These promoters are like politicians. You don't see Labour and Ed Miliband giving David Cameron and his Conservative party compliments and hugs so why would Frank Warren a owner of a rival TV station do the same to Eddie Hearn and vise versa by bigging up their rivals which could potentially end up putting you out of business if you end up with the short stick. We have always had this competitive nature in England with the promoters, Jack Solomons was the big man and Micky Duff come along and put him out of business and then Warren came along and put Duff out of business and now Eddie Hearn is the new kid on the block nearly 25 years younger being backed by a sport powerhouse in Sky Sports so no wonder if he was to feel intimidated .
