    :thumbsup

    Agreed!!

    I was delighted that Kell won! I have posted many times (that) I believed we were yet to see the best of Special K...and I am pleased to be right (for once).

    Well done Kell lad!!! Enjoy and make the most of your reign as a GENUINE World Champion!!!

    50/50. Khan on points or Brook by KO. Both equally likely imo.

    Khan vs Brook in front of a full packed Wembley!

    Eddie Hearn must see Dollar-signs before his eyes (or Pound-signs)
    Brook showed he's the real deal. Should be a great fight.
    Who wins? I don't know.

    This is typical. Full credit to Brook but there may be some overhype going on here. He boxed smartly and got the job done. I don't think he will stop Khan. Remember, Khan will keep getting up if the ref let's the fight continue. However I would not be surprised if Brook drops Khan but I still predict Khan to win on points.

    Kell should keep playing the back of the line card to pump up his purse

    I think the difference would be Brook's timing, which is exceptional as he showed again last night. Timing negates speed every time if you're consistently good with it and Brook is. Can see Khan darting in and out, trying to land his flurries while Brook times him coming in and counters. Brook has physical strength and punch power advantages, and a much higher ring IQ. Think he wins it comfortably.

    would be a stadium fight next summer but khan will be holding off trying to get mayweather

    and brook will want an easy touch first defence

    but both will want a fight nov/dec - stick it in cardiff under the roof winner gets mayweather

    brook by ko or khan points for me

    This new measured Khan beats Kell on points quite easy, Kell never faced anyone as fast as Khan.

    Kell and Khan both not very good on the inside, and from range Khan will outbox Kell, Khan has never been outboxed.

    Kell can Ko Khan if Khan gets reckless.

    Khan is just as big if not bigger than Kell at 147.

    Porter is a tough awkward fighter and Kell weathered his well attack by at times catching him coming in and held him well on the inside..

    But vs Khan it will be a fight at range and Kell is not outboxing Khan, but does have a punchers chance.
