    Rewatch the fight boyz. The only clear round for porter was the 7th....the one he almost got knocked down in at the end of the round.

    I had it 117-112 for Brook. The 7th was the only round he took it to Brook affectively....and you saw what happened at the end of the round when he actually tried to box with Brook. Anyways the two other rounds I gave Porter (the 3rd and the 6th) were basically sympathy rounds where Brook didn't do a whole lot.

    Quite a few of the rounds were close. I can see why a judge would give them to Kell. Porter was scrappy as hell. Kell looked much more in control and did the cleaner work. I am a little bit surprised that judge wasn't more biased towards the favourite who was fighting at home and a bit surprised that the English judge had it a draw. You could see the demeanor from Porter and his team throughout the fight and afterwards. They knew they had lost.

    It was like they decided to put the most awkward styles together that would create a totally different sport...:patsch

    True I'm used to everyone on hear complaint about watt and I rarely have to suffer him as I stream a lot of fights but my god his terrible

    He was given porter roils on aggression dispute the fact it was the most ineffective aggression Iv ever seen. And failing to give brook credit for great defense and clean punching

    Seems fair.

    I had it the same.

    All Porter did was Hit Behind the head you don't win rounds hitting behind the head.

    Same score I had. Brook had a clear win unless you score points for rabbit punches.

    The thing people need to understand is... a close fight doesn't necessarily have to be scored closely. Each round can be a close affair but if one fighter still shades it, and the judges are using the same criteria to get to their answer of who won the round, he should win those rounds consistently. racking up the points to a wide decision, even tho the fight was close.

    I thought porter really didnt land cleanly at all, ultimately that's what it comes down to and it cost him. Aggression without being effective means ****all!!

    Brook did cleaner work in the rounds. It was eye catching....because it was the cleaner work. But it was limited to 20-30 seconds per round...every other round.

    The rest of the time, Porter was the aggressor and in his face all the time. Brook was holding and going backwards for the most part.

    Watch and re-watch it. Turn the sound off.

    9-3

    Wow.

    Mental.
