Shawn Porter still salty about Brook - Picks Khan

No surprise. He was being dubbed as mini Mike Tyson after the Paulie illusion, his father was letting team Brook watch Porter spar right before the fight etc...
Then he got brought back down to earth.Comment

Saying that you're willing to do something doesn't mean you actually are. Thurman is controlled by Al Haymon so he won't be coming to the UK to fight Brook.
There's no real need for a Porter rematch and he and his father say they aren't really interested anyway. They'd prefer Khan....will Amir accept the challenge?
Khan could always give Algieri a rematch - he deserves one way more than Porter.Comment

I think Sky team had Porter winning but quote me if I'm wrong.Which credible boxing analyst had Porter winning? Khan I think is the only one
Al bernstein and all of the showtime guys had Brook winning and so did the general public. Porter didn't land a clean shot all night. Absolute wipe-out from Brook. Won at least 8 rounds of that fight.
It's not the fact that he picks Khan that makes him salty. It's him openly saying he's biased, and including himself in the top 3 but not the guy that beat him - Not even picking him in the top 5 but guys like Provo over him
I mean, come on Porter.
I had Brook winning, he fought a solid fight.
Salty or not it's his opinion.Comment

'Many' - 9 out of 61 press members gave the fight to Porter, the rest had it Brook.
Porter does make ugly fights, but its an effective uglyness.Comment

Absolutely, the person interviewing never asked further into it we're going on snippets can only hope the fight will eventually be made.
Its more likely Kell wont lose with the soft touches Hearns has been lining up for him lets put things into perspective this fight means more for Hearns and Brook than it does for Khan hence why they can not afford to lose.Comment

Jim Watt was scoring the fight from the point of view of an American judge for some reason instead of just scoring it normally.
To be fair, I didn't expect Brook to get the decision either. Was fully expecting a robbery.Comment

I see were you're coming from but I'm just replying to TS regarding his question "what expert had Porter winning"(even though I think Watt is no expert the shrimp) but he's still regarded as an "expert"Last edited by Box3r; 08-03-2015, 02:31 PM.Comment
