    Maybe he was training for his next fight? Because the lad he was working with was nowhere near close to Kel in size, style or dimensions!! Tall, stiff and throwing out a long jab!!

    Obviously they had to be in the ring as part of their media workouts but just as the David Haye workout before Wlad it was all just a waste of time on the training front. They were just keeping up their end by turning up and doing something.

    But if this really is how they have been preparing for Kel then they have seriously underestimated what Kel can do!!

    The fact Porter senior mentioned the Mayweathers in his childish rant indicates an insecurity about himself as an elite trainer and I'd suggest this has been brought on by the almost complete passive nature of both Kell and Dom Ingle.

    Everyone can give valid arguments as to why they think either fighter will win but what can't be disputed is that the Wincobank gym has proven credentials delivering world champions including some curve ball fighters in particular Naz so for the likes of Dom Ingle this is business as usual - I genuinely think as the fight is drawing nearer, this is unsettling Porter's old man in a significant way and that is an encouraging sign.

    lets get this straight ingle fighters always get found out at the higher level, saying that Brook isn't your typical ingle fighter but i expect him to get stopped inside 6 rounds..

    Naz never lost with the Ingles.

    Johnny Nelson was undefeated as a world champion for nearly 6 years.

    "Lets get this straight" :patsch

    The point I'm making is more to do with the fact that Porter's old man is bottling it.

    The simple reasons are because he's been looking for weaknesses in the build up but because Brook isn't the best at articulating himself in the press, it's hard to dissect what Kell may be thinking. On top of that his trainer is part of a gym with an engrained culture where world title fights are the norm.

    I point again to the fact he felt the need to mention the Mayweathers leads me to think he's questioning himself as an elite trainer - otherwise he wouldn't have lost the plot.

    You are not going to find a guy who moves or imitates KB exactly. Kell is tall and gets extension on his punches and thats all they are recreating in the drill. They are just working on the left and right pivots to get on inside behind the jab bc kell has zero inside game like a typical UK fighter. It is just a motion drill for gods sakes...its not even sparring.

    I think you are reading too much into it.

    i think he was being a typical black man who loves to trash talk.
