Or at least gets a double or triple KD like Pac-Marquez. I've been studying Porter a lot now, lots of his bum rushes are misguided and can be timed pretty easily. He is not a B-Hop at closing distances. He looked great vs Malignaggi but it has totally blinded a lot of people to his true level. Watch the Diaz fights!
Totally different fighter now from the Diaz fights. Devon Alexander is twice the fighter brook is and he had no shot against porter, I can't see brook, who's fought no one, having more success.
Bull **** sorry, he fought Alexander straight after the 2nd Diaz fight, didn't have any time to improve. I also feel Alexander took him lightly and that Brook would have beaten Alexander himself.
He would have been schooled by Devon if he was the same fighter. None of it matters, well find out Saturday.
Everyone is gonna be surprised how easy Brook lands on Porter, I wont be. I hope Kell paces himself because he might have Shawn wobbly from the first with his punch power.
brook is a slow garbage hindu that has fought nothing but stiffs, he does nothing better than porter. porter by ko early
No? Brook is only faster, the better boxer, taller and longer and hits harder. I'll give Shawn strength edge and experience with toughness/chin in question.
I find my self in a predicament with this fight, Porter is style that I favor, but Brook I view as the superior boxer, he has a really stiff jab that will do a lot of damage to Shawn if he recklessly comes running in repeatedly, which he will. Devon doesn't have the power to keep fighters off of him, he couldn't keep Bradley, Lucas even Soto Karass who's pretty easily KO'd off, Porter knew that coming in which is why he walked through him. Paulie had a very unfavorable style clash with Porter, his stance left him open to Shawn's left hook all night, and it would twist his neck in a very awkward jarring way that contributed greatly to the KO. I think the real Porter is still the one who struggled with Diaz, Brook isn't that great, but he has more KO's and is bad stylistic matchup for Shawn. His victory over Senchenko was very legit, Paulie didn't KO Senchenko the fight was stopped because of a nasty cut under his eye and Paulie at the time was winning on points. But no one had done that to Senchenko, and he beatdown Matthew Hatton far more brutally than Canelo. Porter's style I like, but it is a distinct possibility that Brook stops him on a counter.
Porter is a really good no doubt but his jumping in with his big hooks will prove his undoing here kel hits with spite and if your jumping into them your getting rocked badly
