    If Porter comes out guns blazing I can see Kell bottling it and not throwing enough punches then getting knocked out, I'm not convinced by his chin. If Brook gets past 5 rounds he's probably weathered the storm but then we've seen him badly gas after 7 or 8 rounds against much lesser fighters whereas Porter has done 12 with superior fighters. I don't dislike Kell at all and I'm not trying to put him down but I just can't see him winning this at all. He really has shot himself in the foot, he has no top class experience whatsoever, won't be fight sharp and is low on confidence going into another fighters backyard who is full of confidence. Porter KO in 8 or under.

    No chance of that from porter, porter can only beat down mofos

    I thought Ugly kid was bad for showing no loyalty to British boxing by sparring Kessler before Kessler/froch 2 but some of the views here are shameful and unpatriotic

    I think there are still question marks around porter just as much as there is around brook. Yes porter has fought the better opposition. But it just seemed to me he used his massive size difference against alexander and paulie. But i really think brook is to big to be bullied around by porter the way the others were. I think kells footwork and accurracy will be to much for porter. But i guess we really wont know how kell can handle the step up. He showed he has plenty of heart to fight it out wen things arnt going his way against carson jones. Lets be honest about that one; a fully fit kell brook destroys jones all day long. He had stamina issues in the first fight. That was the only reason for jones' success. Porter lunges in but he is suspect to a right hand wen he does this. This is were kells accuracy will be a big part. Im not sayin kell brook is definately gonna win. By no chance am i sayin that. Im sayin that people writing brook off are foolish. This is as much a test for porter as it is brook. This is a real 50/50 fight. My opinion is if brook really has his stamina problems sorted then he will take it. He is the better boxer and porters size will not be much of a factor. Can he handle porters speed is another question though? We dont know. It cud happen that the big occasion gets to kell or that fact he is just not world level. Nobody knows. We only no that he has been streets ahead in talent than anyone he has fought. Stamina has been his only problem. But he says hes takin it more seriously now. Kell brook is an undefeated fighter with bags of talent. So no one should be writing him off. I cant wait for this one. Will answer alot of questions about both men.

    Completely agree ImBetterThanJoe. Although I wouldnt have it as a 50/50 fight, I think home advantage and experience gives Porter an edge, maybe 60/40. Either way though its a competative fight and one which Kell can go into with real hope.

    Its my opinion mate. Im biggin up kell to explain tonthe people who are writing him off how foolish they are.How do u no hes gonna lose badly? You've never seen him against dat level of competition. Hes dealth with everything put in front of him with ease. His only problem was carson jones. Which was 100 percent a stamina issue. He said hes eating right now and has a conditioning coach and has the problem sorted. So hopefully its not an issue. I never said kell brook was gonna win. I said i believe that in my opinion he can win. I think its a 50/50 fight. Obviously not includin home town advantage as boz1983 said. So if stamima is not an issue wat have you seen of kell that makes you think he will lose badly? I know he got rocked by shenchenko. But it was nothin. Half a second. Can happenn to anyone. So im not sure we can say he is chinny just yet

    How about pointing out why it's bias? What has he got wrong? That breakdown makes sense and is probably better than yours. You're assuming Brook will have no confidence and questioning his chin based off nothing. There is no reason Kell can't win this fight.

    Brook must let Porter feel his jab ASAP which may then deter Porter from charging in, plus timing and accuracy are two of Kells best assets

    So Hearn's sending another one of his fighters abroad because he wont put his hand in his pocket and win the purse bid for his fighter. I mean Brook has a huge fan base why not get him it in the U.K?

    No that's right Eddie's too scared to bid in case he lose's the purse and the rights for Sky because he knows he's got short arms and deep pockets.

    Hearn just wants the easy money by sending Brook abroad for the cash and putting the Sky money in his pocket instead of using it to put a undercard together and build some young fighters up. Same old Matchroom always taking.

    How do you know all this mate??? Name your source? Haha. Your talkin like you no hearn personally and were tryin hard to convince him otherwise.
    Kell brook seems to be one of hearns favourites. I reckon he tried hard in negotiations to get it in england. But goldenboy didnt have any interest. They obviously have big plans for porter to fight thurman or somthing. And its pretty obvious if golden boy doesnt want it in uk then its not happening there. They wanna keep the belt and not risk a home town decision . im sure hearn got kell the best deal possible. There was no way in a million years little matchroom can beat goldenboy in a purse bid in if golden boy really wants to win it. NO CHANCE!!!!! Golden boy and matchroom are in totally differnt leagues money wise. Its not even the same sport man!!!!
