well considering he was injured twice vs aexander.... i have my reservations... not only that... shawn porter already said there is no way he will go to the UK so kell brook will have to step up big
I would be very surpised if he didn't take this chance, surely the time is now and he must know that! If he wants to fight porter he knows he will have to go to the US, hearn said as much in an interview when discussing who Brook would prefer... Porter is alot better than I thought this time last year, Brook will certainly have to put on the performance of his career to beat him, as it should be to become World champion!
porter before the alexander fight had looked average but hes stepped up when given the chance and sometimes fighters go up many levels by just being a champion and he has
I've got a feeling Brook will pull out of the fight with Porter citing weight issues and move up to Light Middle hoping to get a fight with the winner of Andrade-Rose.
Hearn is putting Brook in all these eliminators in the hope a title becomes vacant and he can maneuver a fight a soft touch, call Brook a champion and milk the title for as long as possible against a string of nobodies, building up a long unbeaten record and reign as a "champion". It's bull**** but it works as a marketing tool for a fighter and people (idiots) buy into it.
Brook and Hearn must be gutted because Alexander lost to Porter and he didnt look too good in the fight Brook had a chance to beat Alexander And Bradley offered Brook a fight and then Bradley fought Provodnikov and fought like a madman, if Brook was ever gonna beat him it woulda had to of been that fight because Bradley wanted a war Now they have to fight Porter and if he doesnt fight Porter after Floyd beats Maidana wont the world titlists in the division be Floyd,Pac and Porter Basically Brook isnt winning a world title anytime soon
