    Both were poor IMO, but Porter was absolutely clueless, Brook looked like someone who was about to get taken too the electric chair, same old straight left (that missed) then right hand then clinch, Porter...whatever boxing brain he had must have evaporated on the way to the ring, just total rubbish, rushing in head first swinging his arms around like a gorilla, clueless, meant to be a world title fight, just shows you the dilution of the sport. Book did fcuk all & Porter did even less, I thought Porter was going to get the nod, but in fairness Brook, he did land the only decent punches in the fight & the result was the correct one, the yank judges got it right for a change, Brook out boxed Porter, but lets not get carried away with Brook, he's no Lloyd Honeyghan & Porter is def no Don Curry. Even Floyd would KO Brook, different levels here, Brook for me is not on the A-List & never will be!

    Just the latest American fighter to be schooled by the Brit. You sugar addled fatties should be used to it by now.

    Porter wasn't boxing. He was head charging, then flailing around like a ****** when in close. So judges favoured the cleaner boxing. There is fighting rough, then there is bull rushing with zero method.

    I think the jury is still out on Brook, like I mentioned it was not what Brook did, but what Porter didn't do...I see Brook still limited on what he can do... Not hating , simply saying he got lots of room to improve himself, he has a good base...but still limited!

    Brook won easily by beating porter in every aspect of the fight.
    Wasn't remotely close in my book. Found it hard to give porter a single round he clearly won.

    Brook is way too skilled technically and way too strong for porter

    True but to be fair almost every fighter is limited and I think Brook is partly responsible for "what Porter didn't do" by making it difficult for him. Brook fought well on the outside using his jab, timing, reflexes etc and didn't let Porter do much effective work on the inside.

    Disagree, Porter was responsible for what he didn't do...I would have like to see Brook with more lateral movement....he will learn....

    there seems to be a load of accounts that have been around for a few years but only have a handful of posts on them...

    what's going on? who are these guys? are these the Alts?

    get the hell out of here.
