    I'm probley jinxing things here but I seriously can't wait for this fight, week and a half away still no pull outs just hope it stays that way!

    Following brooks pro career has been frustrating I can remember telling my mates to watch out for this fighter from Sheffield literally like 6 or 7 years ago its been a long time coming this one.

    Personally I'm not sure how good kel is none of us really know he's never been put into really bad situations in fights which I can guarentee will happen next Saturday at some point. After all these years of waiting we're finally going to find out how good this kid really is.

    IMO I think this 'new' version of porter stops kel they way hes punching these days is insane and slightly suspicious if you ask me but that's for another thread. I see brook putting up a brave effort but porter being far to strong.

    I sincerely hope I'm wrong if brook is having success and looks like he could pull this one off I for one will be going mental next Saturday night.

    I'm also "ridiculously" looking forward to it.

    Like you, I have followed Kell's career from fairly early on, having watched every fight after he first won the British against Barrie Jones. He's my second favourite UK fighter.

    The way he ploughed through the top domestic guys with relative ease suggested big things were to come and I too pointed him out to friends as one to watch.

    The last couple of years have been very frustrating though, so the thought of all questions being answered in less than two weeks is an exciting one.

    To me it seems 50/50; There's no denying Porter looks a beast recently, but I feel Kell is a level above the other guys who have recently travelled across the pond for a whoopin'!

    Can't wait to find out, either way.

    I can't wait myself! The fact if brook pulls it off it could lead to a huge fight with khan that I believe would capture the British publics imagination the same way froch and groves just adds to the excitement

    Brook has got that smooth unrushed way of boxing, but the question is will that same style look plodding and one-paced against an explosive fighter like Porter.

    Porter will probably be too quick early on but if Kell can ride the storm he's got the range and composure to pick Porter off down the stretch.

    I have been trying to get this across for ages but don't think I have managed it.

    This is the fight that tells us how good Kell is... IF that smoothness and time to look and pick punches is there he's a threat to just about anyone.. If Porter can get past the jab though I have a feeling he might just be too much...


    looking forward to it

    Great to see Kell in the type of fight we've been waiting years for..
    I think he's getting stopped on his feet but Would love to be proven wrong - this is
    Also pretty key for the reputation of British boxing in the states IMO- to many 'brit bums' Have been smashed over there for my liking- we need a big win from Kell and I wish him
    All the best.

    Come on Kell, would love him to show his the real deal over there in the States. So many exciting fights to have in the states it'd be a massive win.

    Looking forward to it. Just keep looking back to the first carson jones fight to tell us what we need to know about kell. Hope that he just came in under-prepared for it which was the official line they went with maybe the second fight showed that was the case. Carson's no mug but he's not on the level of porter. Kell looked despondant at times.

    Dont usually condone cheating but hope they've got kell on something cause it's clear for me anyway that porter is. They've had years to sort out the drug testing issues when it became apparent that what they were doing wasnt working and yet continued to let it slide. Now some not even hiding it by employing guys like conte.

    Kell should be in the shape of his life for it sure the camp has been forever including a keep busy fight to break it up. Kells quite a skilled fighter drug use or not from porter he should still have enough to cause porter problems....unlike rose/rees etc. Feeling a bit more optimistic about this one....
