SHO Championship Boxing returns to StubHub – 8/16: Porter-Brook: The Official Fight Card thread

[The Fukin Prophecy]

ive always thought Brook would beat Khan, Brooks power is maybe still a bit underrated, Porter has a solid chin and took some nice right hands.

I dont see Khans chin standing up to those right hands for 12 rounds, also Brook is great with distance and has a better jab than Khan

The Kell Brook that showed up last night KO's Khan...I'm so confident in that I'd bet the house on it...

Khan will try to beat him with his speed but as you saw last night, Brook when focused has great composure and sets up his right hand very well...he'll wait for Khan to slip up and rock that glass jaw with a right cross...

shyt now nikkas know how skilled/fast puncher Tyson was before gus died.....you can't just replace greats like that.

with that said I still like porter and that nikka learned the hard way that he can not bully his way to victories against all opponents.

im tired of this floyd $weepstakes cause I don't really see anyone that is a threat to him.....sorry. he will retire at 50-0....boring.

Finally got a chance to post again in this thread. Thoughts on the card last night.

- Linares looks like he could campaign at 140 or 147. That nikka looked as big as Crawford in there.

- Wilder is open for the pull counter right hand, Gavern had that shot open for him the times he slipped the jab and right cross. If he was in shape he prolly could have been more competitive. Stiverne will definitely see that opening though

- Figueroa's defense needs more polishing, but his offense is crazy. He seemed to cut the ring off a lil better against Estrada, but then again his last opponent was moving a lot more.

- Dirrell showed that he could box and stick to a game plan for 12 rounds. He still gets riled up with that mean streak of his and it really showed early, but he kinda settled down later. He was rocking and hurting Bika with just about every other shot he threw. I can't remember seeing Bika getting tagged so consistently clean. Ref earned his check and did a better job in a much rougher fight than Vic did with Rios and Chaves.

- Porter/Brook was an ugly fight and I felt it could have gone either way. Porter controlled most of the first half and Brook took over in the 2nd half. Neither really impressed me. For as bad as Porter looked with his wild reckless flailing, I thought Brook would have made him pay a lot more for that shyt. It seemed like he was just punching at the target instead of through it. He still out-boxed dude and landed some clean shots, but he still got bullied way too much for my taste. He needed to step to Porter with hard shots more consistently instead of always getting backed up all over the damn ring. Porter closes the distance good, but once he does that he smothers his work. His dad was right, that he should have used more angles when he got in close instead of staying right in front of him. He had openings and positions that he didn't capitalize on.

- I think Thurman beats Porter and Brook. Both them nikkas kinda neutralized each other to a point. Porter's pressure swarming didn't allow Brook to really sit on his shots as much as he normally does.

yeah brook could have easily knocked out porter last night.....with wild flinging shyt. porter needs to learn how to fight on the inside if he wants to be on the inside. watch holyfield.....now that nikka can fight on the inside. all porter does is holds or get held once he gets in.

however porter did try to get some kidney shot while he was up close last at times but the punches were just tip/taps...no power to make an opponent drop to his knees.(like Hopkins did Oscar)

For real, it's like once Porter gets close with his footwork, he can't seem to properly measure the distance to get the most out of his shots. He wasn't really digging enough with some of those punches to the body. He smothered a lot of his work. He made Brook uncomfortable, but didn't break him down. Hatton knew how to close distance, but he'd hit you with full force on the inside and really maul your ass. Porter was doing the struggle version of that.

I was waiting for Brook to really sit down on some of his counters to really hurt Porter. Dirrell was basically doing that to Bika and was constantly stunning him. Porter seemed a lil shook and was just content with landing instead of really putting that beat down.

I guy like Quartey with his jab would have destroyed a nikka like Porter.

nikka do you read your posts before you hit reply?

Since when has Floyd ever shown an inability to keep his poise in the ring with a flawed wild pressure fighter like Porter? Did you even watch the Maidana fight? You honestly think this lil nikka is going to have one of the most poised defensively sound counter punchers in the history of the sport shook?


Do not ever tag me again if you're going to post dumb shyt like this b...

exactly. nikka made a good post turn corny, cause he chose to hate on floyd

 

[Master Teacher]

just watched this shyt, man the way yall was talking I thought Kell Brook was gonna be whipping porter's ass

I gave round 1 to Brook
2, 3, 4, 5 to Porter

6.7, 8 , 9 to brook, porter was getting tired

10, 11, and 12 to Porter he showed heart and went after it in the last rounds

Porter said he didn't lose this fight and I agree with him

Brook had the crispy counters put they were always followed by porter's body attack which was consistent throughout the fight

Brook's length bothered porter, he bull dozed Devon who is really a 140 guy, and paulie is a small WW as well, but brook was was the taller stronger fighter, their styles clashed and it was ugly but porter did more work in my opinion

Porter's power wasn't there, either because of brook's size or he didn't take roids, either way that was a noticeable difference, but he went to work on the body

Yes,because you're comparing floyd (one of the greatest defensive wizards at the moment) to a guy like brook whom is not on his level. And acting as if floyd couldn't do what brook did. When he seemingly would do a much better job on porter than brook. And always stays composed. He just fought a guy that fights similar (but cheats even more) and beat him more decisively without as much clinching.coulda clinched the whole fight and made it even easier. You just mad. I know you love manny. And it hurts knowing that floyd is no longer neck and neck with manny in public opinion. It's now clear who the man is and always was all along.

Damn breh, take his penis out your mouth... Floyd is not Jesus Christ nikka.. I can compare him if I want.. Brook hits harder, and can hurt his opponent more efficiently than Floyd... All Floyd has on the rest of the division is defense. He has speed too, but whats the use of speed with no power behind it when you have an animal like Porter bumrushing and blitzing you for 12 rounds straight and barely getting winded.. Maidana fights similar, thats it, but Porter is still better than Maidana in every conceivable way.. If Floyd this defensive wizard beat Chino so decisively then why is there a rematch?


Bringing up Manny too?? Shocking... If it makes you feel better I believe Porter presents huge problems for and could beat Pac as well

 

[Master Teacher]

10, 11 N 12 to Porter

how did Brook win those rounds he ain't do shyt

showtime even had the tenth scored for scored for Porter, as well as 6 and 7 which I gave to Brook

he ain't do enough to beat to the champ

Not too many people to choose from for sept that they think they can sell. Makes sense.By the way,at floyd's 33rd victory he had 22 stoppages like kell has 22 at 33 victories now. Floyd did this against much better competition. So stop the power talk dumb ass.

 

[patscorpio]

at porter's power wasn't there...dude only scored 1 recent welterweight knockout..he's not known for power at 154 or power in general

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Brook wasn't really punching any harder against Porter than Floyd normally does. Dude was just punching at the target and landing clean. He hardly sat down or put his weight behind those punches. I think Floyd would be able to do the same thing Brook did against Porter, but I think the difference is he would be more bothered by the physicality of Shawn's aggression.

Porter has power, its just that his style of boxing is more effective when he gets you panicked meaning nikkas back up straight with there head up and freeze during his swarming attack. Alexander and Paulie were caught clean and hard consistently because they didn't pivot or use any type of ring generalship to deflect that aggression. Brook would step to the side or use a lil lateral movement to take some of the steam off of those bum rushes. He could have jabbed and thrown more in general, but I think he was too afraid of exchanges so he either moved or clinched.

Porter isn't some accurate puncher anyway. Sometimes he'll land clean and sometimes he won't. It depends more on how his opponent reacts to his offense. He punches harder and is physically stronger than Bradley who has a similar type of swarming flailing punching style..
