The myth that Kell Brook 'Schooled' Shawn Porter.

It was an easy fight to score for Brook ..

 

ah well eubank did land a good few uppercuts normally the first one or two were blocked but then he got the last threw , normally saudner would land one or two decent shots in these rounds too but i favoured the eubank shots because he never really reacted or looked bothered. I gave him the first round aswell which made it tighter

 

A comfortable and impressive 116-112 win for Brook...

 

Agreed. Brook just neutralized Porter's aggression with counters and clinching, which Porter had no answers for. Porter didn't have that much success to the body either, and looked absolutely clueless in some moments. It was a comfortable decision with where Brook proved he's the better man.

 

I think the key thing (other than the fact that Golden Boy want to promote a Khan Brook fight at Wembley), is that Porter was using illegal tactics and is a very dirty fighter, he split both fighters heads in the fight. He was relying on his strength to bully but Brook neutralised it and out powered him. If Porter would have being penalised for headbutts and rabbit punches, he would have had to stand and box and would have got seriously schooled. I understand the OP though, I thought Porter was going to get a decision with it being in the U.S, and it's not often we beat the American in the U.S and some people have got carried away, although count the clean punches Porter landed on Brook. I'm extra glad he beat Porter because he's not only a dirty fighter, but a blatant juicer.

 

:deal

 

American, felt Brook won it... I don't necessarily think it was such a close decision that you couldn't tell Brook was gonna take it... You could just kinda tell... But you could argue that it was quantity vs quality... Idk what the official rules say about pitty-patter punches on the inside while being held, but Porter definitely landed a lot of those, as well as anything else he did to score...

Still, I thought Brook was clearly landing the crisper punches, and was making Porter miss like crazy. 10-2 is silly, but a solid 8-4... Doable

 

For me Brook won quite decisively 9 rounds to 3. Porter put on one of the greatest displays of ineffective aggression in recent memory.

 

what is effective aggresion though? just absolutely murdering them

 

Seems ok to me. But If you favor clean work, why do you have Froch over dirrell?

 

7-5 or 8-4 Brook at best. Brook dominated the second half of the fight while Porter looked sloppy as ****. But in the first half Brook didn't do much because he was being smothered, and Porter was being effectively aggressive, roughing Brook up. Brook's punches were much cleaner and sharper but there wasn't enough of it.

 

It's not a Myth, It's a fact that Brook did school porter.

117-111 :deal

 

Brook should have been warned (at least) for excessive holding but Porter lost a clear UD.

Porter landed nothing of significance and smothered his punches trying to stay in Kell's chest. Didn't adjust his gameplan at all.

In no way did he deserve the nod.
