    I'm not about to crown him FOTM or anything, cos beating Berridge ain't really that special, but I was very impressed with Lephikins demolition job and it was, on paper, a huge step up for him. Guy looks absolutely huge for a LHW, but was slipping punches well and seemed relatively mobile - big on the bodyshots - there's a lot to like.

    Probably have to go for Brook as my pick though, bigger fight on a bigger stage and he came out and dealt with a dangerous guy very effectively.

        Beautifully? It was one of the ugliest fights I've seen. Porter was hardly hyped as the next best thing as could be seen by the terrible ratings and gate. And lots of people gave Brook a chance to win. He was only a 2 to 1 underdog, which is as even of a fight we ever get.

          Porter's fault that it was ugly, not Brook's.

            Yes, he looked like he'll be a force at 175.
