    It was a close fight, if the judges scored it for Porter, nobody would have cried screwjob

    It was a poor showing by both men, probably because both men had to undergo VADA testing, therefore weren't on their usual drugs/peds

    Neither man looked good, lots of clinching, pushing and inaccurate punches being thrown.

    Brook/Porter on peds and Brook/Porter off peds are two different fighters

      These guys are getting ridiculous.

      They will fight other welters, they just don't want to fight Brook.

        Not worth offering him more.

        Not sure how much Brook does at the gate and Hearn loves the gate.

        Agree with the idea that he should go up and fight Smith. Easier sell anyway.

          Kelly Brock should sign with Haymon

          Blacks look out for blacks

          Hearn is just a domestic level promoter, poor mans Haymon.

          Kell Brook has no brains, no business acumen, his entire career is being jeopardized by Eddie Hearn

          Someone needs to have a sit down with Brook and explain to him that his career is in the ****ter

          Khan is living comfy, Degale is living comfy, Haye is living comfy

          Brook needs to get a clue...jesus

            Then Hearn is not a man of his word.

            He promised kell a huge fight in various interviews and the only thing to deduce is Hearn loves the numbers more than kell.

            How long does kell need to get mugged off for?

              Martin is a nobody

              Vargas has been in more high profile fights than Martin pre Jousha

              Vargas is the same guy Floyd would brag about in interviews.

              The same amount of money should be on offer for Vargas
              If I need to explain it, it's not worth discussing.

              Take a second and think about why Martin is worth more, and comment when you've done that.

                That fight would not interest the british public one bit.

                  They were handing out free tickets for Brooks last fight, the price dropped to £2.50 a pop

                  So he isnt making that much money at the gate

                  He is better off fighting Liam Smith, easier to sell a domestic showdown and he wont have to pay a lot of money to Liam, and if he beats him he gets a title, a title that Canelo wants

                  Canelo's team have been in contact with Frank Warren about the title/Liam Smith

                    But still.... Given how long kell has played second and indeed third fiddle to aj and a few others plus what Hearn has promised isn't it worth coming good for kell?

                    Why get Kell's hopes up again and again.

                    It's literally absurd to say Kell's very long run of apparently being unlucky is not due to how Hearn has managed him, it's beyond the pale nuts.
