Brook v Porter- My personal prediction

I also think brook wins but I'd go for a KO

 

most important point in the original post

 

could you post your impersonal prediction

 

I've seen the recent past of both fighters. To me this screams a Brook KO. Porter is going to get found out by the superior talent simple as that.

The only other outcome I can see is Kell 'freezing' and getting run-over by Porter.

Porter seems to think Kell has a 'European' style! Laughable on all counts, I very much think Porter will either taste the power of the jab early and play cagey or storm into a power shot by the sharper and more accurate hitter. Either way he's backing off and changing game-plan, and from then on it's downhill for him.

I am more than ready to eat humble pie and give Porter props unless Brook freezes and makes an embarrassing showing.

Brook KO <6rnds, £20.

 

Brook gets knocked out.

Upright fighter who doesnt move his head against a strong quick swinger??

Do the math.

 

Porter is weird. In his first fight with julio diaZ he showed amazing versatility.....head movement, footwork, combos, speed, inside and outside game....the kind of skills brook can only dream of

vs alexander sometimes he boxed, but was mostly and ugly brawler...maybe to mess up alexanders rythym but to my surprise he actually showed superior handspeed to alexander.

I give the handspeed advantage to porter. And if the same porter who fought diaz shows up with all those skills, then brook has NO chance.

the problem i have with porter is his recent slugging with alexander and paulie looks very very sloppy....so i am like wtf.....maybe again, he had no respect for paulie power as well. So he is a big question mark as to how he plans to fight...but whats gauranteed is that he is bringing the goods.


now for kell, what you see is what you get. Jab, jab, right slip, counter right, ocassional parry, jab, jab, left hook. Step out. Admittedly, his skillset looks clean and crips, especially since his heavy hands as a big welter has allowd him to dominate eurotrash....but i am scratching my head as to how kell will do with the porter who boxed like a G vs diaz or the beast who imposd his will on paulie and devon.

There are alot of question marks but for now i am leaning towards porter.

i need to watch the diaz rematch

 

Math..sss....OK, not saying Porter is $hit, far from it but as you described he is a 'swinger' (ahem...) i.e. wide hook-ing shots. Surely the 'math' as you put it points to the man with, accuracy, power and the straight, well timed shots down the middle...?

 

I think Brook gets knocked out in this one.

I think it will be a cagey fight early on with the more experienced in big fights Porter who will come out on top.

Brook will have all the pressure on him. His first big major fight against the best fighter he ever faced.

Whereas Porter has had his big moments in his career already against Alexander and Malignaggi.

 

The one advantage of boxing being marginalised in the media is this fight is happening whilst I am on holiday in Turkey. I will Sky+ it and watch it 10 days later safer in the knowledge that no one in a bar or by the pool will spoil the result.

 

Realistic there is arguments on both sides. Kell Brook's biggest name is Senchenko whom was a world champion but in my opinion was in the right place at the right time. Brook who I think is capable to being a good fighter has good hand speed, footwork, movement and decent reactions. The only thing wrong with Brook is the fact he hasnt fought enough fringe level/ world class fighters. He also like Amir Khan gives it the British i'm tough attitude and gets drawn into a brawl.

Now Porter has beaten Alexander, Diaz and also Paulie who are in a higher category than what Kell has faced. In the Diaz fight he fought well and was very quick. It seems his style has changed cause against Alexander he fought very crudely and against Paulie he walked through Paulie's feather fisted punches.

I believe it's a 50/50 fight and there will be a stoppage I just think that both have decent power but I think Brook pinches this.

 

For me ina 50/50, porter has looked good in his last two fights but they were light punchers he could walk through. Seen some of porters earlier fights and was not impressed maybe hes improved since being a champ which happens, brook who knows he looks like he has good skills and can bang but its a big gut test vs brook,
I think it will be a great fight even foty candidate
Im going for brook tko 10ish

 

yeah Kells really shown his punch power hasnt he lol Kell has got the chin/heart to see round 5
