    Can't wait for it as well - hoping Brook steps up to world level and proves he can be counted.

    Fingers crossed he delivers.

    Porter is a glorified Carson Jones... Kell will school this guy for 12 rounds, probably stop him late

    Nah I think Porter is a talent, but he is getting a lot of hype.

    His best 2 wins have come in his last two fights, so he's gonna go into this fight with **** loads of confidence but all I keep hearing is everyone banging on about his power..

    Malignaggi is a tough ******* and the way he took him out was impressive, but prior to that he hadn't stopped anyone in his last 5 fights?

    Then you bring the Victor Conte factor into question and it starts to get a bit interesting...

    I'm very much looking forward to it. Interesting clash of styles/attributes plus we will learn a bit about both guys. Can Kell hack it at world level? Is Porter as good as some think he is?

    I'm not overly impressed by either guy. I think Brook is a little bit more talented but Porter seems to have a bit more of a fighters mentality. I think Kell wins in an entertaining fight if he performs at his best and doesn't bottle it.

    Very much looking forward to it but will only allow myself to give it the full appreciation once the weigh-in has taken place and nobody can pull out without an uncle going supposedly terminally ill or something.

    Porter is overrated and is a wide throwing accident waiting to happen. Just hope Kell has his head screwed on and those close to him will know exactly what that means.

    Porter is the perfect example of the gains from PEDS/ dodgy nutritional "aids". Before and after, goes from underwhelming and light hitting unkown to explosive beast chasing Mayweather fight after signing with Conte.

    Kell deserves respect for taking the fight, but serious respect if he can beat the juicer naturally. Will be so satisfying if he wins, but will be bad in terms of international respect if he gets KOd or soundly beaten due how long it's taken him to get the shot.

    Good fight this! It's been a long time coming for kell, porter is a monster, likes charging in with that big head but he has his flaws, if kell is in the shape of his life and he's done his homework then he can win this.

    I just hope the occasion doesn't get to brook, the judges are fair, and the ref picks up porter for using his head.

    i am...........

    dont get carried away with Porter smashing Pauli,Brook is excellent at judging distance and has perfect timing...If Brook dont win at least Porter will know he been pushed all the way

    im still expecting it to be called off tho
