    Thers supposed to be 2 other British boxers on the bill. Ive always thought that it would be unlikely that all 3 would box. Callum Smith has apparently got a mismatch. It would have been a lot better if his opponent would have been same standard as his last. So I don't think Luke Campbells opponent will be up to much,either. Wilder I think is fighting Gavern,who will probably give a decent account before getting stopped,and Sakio Bika is rematching Anthony Dirrell,who isn't as good as his brother was.

    But Porter/Brook is a good world class scrap which Im looking forward to. Hope Brook can do it,but I very much doubt it. Points loss.

    I have seen Porter look awful, but against Paulie he looked his best. However, that did not prove anything. Paulie can't punch as hard as a woman...............I don't really know who will win, but Porter has the referee on his side, his judges, his boxing commission, etc., so look for Brooks to get cheated.................Will Porter have to take a drug test?

    I think Kell gets hit too much, and he's been getting away with it against lesser opposition. Unless his defensive ability has changed overnight I see him getting worn down and stopped in the mid or late rounds unfortunately.

    He was windmilling like a pub drunk against Paulie. DO that against Kell and he'll get annihilated.

    Actually think this will be an easy night's work for Kell. Onwards and upwards.

    yes massively looking forward to this one ......should be getting more coverage than It has....how often does a british fighter go to the USA and take on one of their rising stars and have more than a punchers chance. Getting sick of Brits being selected like lambs to the slaughter, Porter is favourite but honestly think Kell will give as good as he gets. Go on kell ...

    Just can't see Brook winning at all, Porter is better than Brook, is a terrible stylistic match up for Brook, has fought much better opposition than Brook and has home advantage. Porter will stop by about the 8th to 10th.

    Whats Brook going to do when porter makes it a rough fight and starts landing on him or do we think Kell can out box him for 12 rounds

    He will panic, go to the ropes and take a beating. Porter stops him in the 2nd half of the fight.

    Thats my view as well.

    Don't think Kell has the heart to be in a war, hopefully I'm wrong

    He doesn't react well to pressure, Carson Jones hurt him once and then the rest of the fight he goes on the ropes and takes a beating for most of the next 5 rounds, if that was someone better, even a Soto Karras, he gets stopped.

    Senchenko nailed him, Brook goes to the ropes but Senchenko throws nothing at him and lets Brook Clinch for 10 seconds, fight then goes back to the middle of the ring and Kell stops him. Porter will be in his face non stop if he goes on the ropes as much as he has in other fights.

    Brook's best bet is to win by stoppage early to mid because I see Brook getting fatigued more the fight goes on and Porter stops him as Brook slows down, starts moving less..

    Eddie and co will blame it on the weight, say 154 is better for him, and target the Pedo feather fisted IBF champ Molina at LMW. Eddie loves the IBF route.

    Genuine question I haven't studied ether guy in great detail. What exactly is Porter better at? Speed, power, durability, stamina, footwork, jab, long range, short range, mid range, timing, ring I.Q, everything? Do you think he's a lot better or just a bit?

    His plan is probably to control the fight himself and not allow Porter to make it rough.
