Tyson Fury Says Porter Beat Brook...and Porters title was taken due to beef with GBP

[just the facts]

... an American who enjoys excessive clinching... Why I'm not surprised?

Where do you get that? From the posters that keep calling you a racist?

[LA_2_Vegas]

Really? I disagree, a lot of Clinching goes on in all of Porter fights but when it gets done to him he was quick to complain about it after this fight. I thought Kell had the right strategy, he did not try to run away from the Clinching, instead he got inside with him. Kelly doesn't have the inside game of James Toney or anything but I think he has gotten better dealing with Inside Fighting compared to the 1st Carson Jones fight in which it was clearly his weakness

yeah I thought he had the right plan too. He knew to expect Porter's leaping in with sloppy action so he just stepped into him and met him there first. Porter couldn't move him at all. Once he established that then he started to pick Porter off with punches as he jumped in and Porter didn't know what to expect. I still think a more methodical guy can get inside on him, like a Rios or maybe a compact puncher like Chaves but he has gotten better at negating offense. Excessive clinching is not something I like to watch, but seeing that it was Porter he gets the benefit of the doubt in that fight.

Haven't watched the interview yet but Porter couldn't have landed more than 5 clean punches in the whole fight. He was terrible and lost clearly.

I must admit I was very surprised when they gave Brook the decision but that's cos I thought he would get robbed.

Not sure how many times you've watched it but it could have easily beem a draw. Porter's work rate made virtually every round nip and tuck. I've watched it three times and it's been a draw twice. Nothing clear about it except your fanboyism. P.S this has nothing to do with Khan, I like Kell, just not over Khan.

Kell is a strong guy, a big guy, he doesnt run, although Carson Jones made him back up and beat him pillar to post...but Carson is also a big guy

Brook has no inside game, watch his fights, he headhunts, he rarely works the body. He did clinch Porter, ALOT, that was part of the gameplan...Porter is very strong for a small guy...but Brook was stronger

Again, not saying he has a great inside game just saying that he looks better dealing with guys who like to get inside compared to that 1st Carson Jones fight.

I do agree he does headhunt a lot and doesn't go to the body enough that I agree with 100%

Chaves would have been another great test for him on the inside I was looking forward to that match up

Yeah I wanted to see him vs Chaves, I know some was negative about that match up but I think Chaves is very underrated and would have been a very good test for Brook

Tyson better not get in the ring with Klitschko then, considering he appears to be blind.

[kafkod]

Brook deserved the win, imo, but he was lucky to get it in such a close fight away from home.

He did clinch Porter a lot, but Porter is not the cleanest of fighters himself on the inside. It looked to me like Brook was trying to keep Porters head out of his face most of the time, rather than stop him from punching.

Tyson is looking very dapper lately, btw. When he's not dressed as Batman, that is.

There are several people in this thread who are not Kell Brook fans who have said it was a clear victory.

You can watch it as many times as you want, you obviously don't know what you're watching or how to score a boxing match.

What exactly is Porter's "work rate"? Because sloppily throwing wild punches, mauling and missing doesn't mean you're winning or even close to winning a round.

Yusaf Mack probably took more clean shots to the face in his recent video than Brook did in that fight

[boliodogs]

Fury is not exactly a looker. I saw the fight and I thought Brook won a close one. He holds too much but he is still one of the best at 147.

Have to disagree with Tyson here Brook landed the cleaner blows
