    Porter's face during and immediately after the fight said it all IMO.

    it was a close fight but the crunch is in Kell hitting more accurately, repeatedly. Too often, Porter was going to body with power flurries some of which missed. Surely they drained his tank. Kell stuck to the fight plan that was winning.

    The fight could of gone eitheir way. I gave it to Brook on clean effective punching. Both fighters didn't look as good as I thought they would and even though Brook was holding a lot I assume he was mostly doing it because when he didn't Porter was rabbit punching like a motherf**ker. If your going to go on about the holding which BOTH fighters did a lot of you got to look at the headbutts and rabbit punching of Porter.. Brook does need to improve a lot he definitely needs to work on his inside game and combination punching. Sometimes he would throw a shot and leave his arm out there instead of pulling it back immediately which Porter tried to capitalize on. Both fighters showed they can take a punch even though Porter got wobbled he recovered netheir fighter got exposed and it was a good scrap.

    Problem is, Brook didn't look better, all that holding and spoiling looked fooking awful.

    Both looked shite, neither deserved the W.

    But to make out it wasn't a close fight is beyond fooking stupid.

    British Sky TV commentating was the same. They had Porter doing much better than I did.

    I personally understand a bit. That rushing, mauling, isn't pretty but it looked to me like Brook was struggling with it for spells. Brook was a winner for me, but live I had it closer than most people seem to this morning.
