    This was confirmed for Aug 9th, 2014 in New York. Who do you have in this fight? Will Brook actually make it to the fight or will he pull what he did vs Alexander?

    Kell Brook gets dominated .

    Shawn Porter AKA The reincarnation of Sugar Shane Mosley is the future of boxing .

    as of now I'd take Porter by decision, Brook is unproven at world level

    I think the most likely outcome is Porter by decision so that is what I voted. I am rooting for Brook though because he is the underdog.

    I think Porter will be too strong and physical for Brook. Porter will make it a rough fight, and I just don't think Brook will be able to handle it. His defense isn't what it needs to be in order to be able to give himself the room he'll need to beat Porter.

    I think Porter will hurt him, swarm him and end it.

    Porter TKO.

    So many title eliminators plus that injury which derailed the Devon Alexander fight may come back to haunt Kell on August 9th. Porter doesn't have to be the destroyer. This young American is burning with confidence and is more seasoned to boot. He will do everything in his power to keep the IBF strap in his backyard.

    Couple in the fact Porter is the one with the judge-endearing style and Kell probably needs a knockout.

    A dangerous fight for both. Could be explosive.

    I got Porter by decision. Both of them are untested but Porter has a bit more skills IMO.

    LMAO!

    Porter is nowhere NEAR as good as a prime Mosley. You must never have even seen a prime Mosley.

    Having said that, Porter beats down Brook. Kell sucks.

    Porter will come forward and gets his head jabbed off and he's so limited he won't be able to execute any Plan B, if he even has a Plan B.

    Brook is now a beast and there's very little chance that Porter will be able to take Brook's power.

    Porter has way better power. He will hurt Brook eventually. I would be surprised if Brook makes it to the final bell. This is no Carson Jones he is dealing with.

    First time Brook has actually stepped up(I will believe it when I actually see him in the ring).

    i think Brook could get the late stoppage after Porter walks into far too many counters. but i stayed on the safe side and picked a decision.

    although, if this does go to the cards, no mater what, even if Brook has won by 3 to 4 points, he will not get the decision. Brook has to knock him out to get the win. we all know what happens when you fight in America.

    Hearn needs to have a say in the ref as well. we've seen far too many American refs go out of their way to help the American fighter win.

    this needs to be a fair fight. but i won't hold my breath. i'll be shocked if everything is done by the book.

    Yeah, let's jump on the Porter band wagon cuz he blew away malignaggi who let's face it, isn't a natural welter and has no punch for Porter to respect. If you think porter will jump all over brook in like fashion! Prepare to see him get counter punched to oblivion. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if he was juiced on PEDS given how pumped and aggressive he was. Porter is the favourite, granted but righting Brook off as a no hoper in this fight is plain foolish
