    Yes.

    This should be an interesting fight.

    Porter is very good at beating domestic level Americans, which Thurman may well be, as he proved with Alexander, Malignaggi and Broner.

    However the question is what does he have left being that his soul is in Kell's IKEA trophy cabinet and he was drained, dehydrated and weeded off the PED cycle for his fight with Broner.

    Brook's resume kind of depends on Porter doing the business.

    If Shawn was to get brutally stopped or embarrassed, Kell's best (and it was a tough win) victory goes up in smoke.

    It wasn't a tough win. Brook gave PED cheat Porter a boxing lesson.

    Thurman has already said brook would be his most difficult fight at 147.

    That why he was clinching non-stop towards the end?

    That was a close fight, make no bones about it.

    He got schooled 10-2/9-3 on any fair scorecards.

    Porter got himself tied up due his style. That will happen to him in nearly all of his fights.

    Only against fighters completely incapable of fighting on the inside like Brook and Thurman.

    I don't think they would. The first fight wasn't that good and is a tough sell. I also doubt Porter is that interesting in coming over here. His dad has also done plenty of interviews saying they don't want a rematch.

    He would have to go to America to fight either and I think the US TV companies will pay more for Brook v Thurman. Neither fight sells on PPV at 4am though.

    Brook's got one of the best inside games in the sport.
