Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Edges Porter, Capture IBF Gold in Carson

[thack]

Respect to both fighters for an entertaining fight. As predicted Porter was agile & aggressive, but typically sloppy. Like many US fans he underestimated Brook. Porter put up a good fight but skill is skill and Brook outboxed Shawn with poise, accuracy & very good timing. It doesn't matter about holding & rabbit punches, they came from both guys. Hey, it's a fight! Talk of PEDs is BS too, Kell deserved the win. He's a better boxer.

Well said, but I thought porter , crude, did enough?.....been fun !

Props to both men, didn't see this fight going this way. Gotta give credit to Brook big time for not coming undone.

everyone is going to hop off of porters wagon and now jump on brooks wagon. everyone is going to start saying "fight brook, ducking brook, blah blah blah"

****** ass boxingscene fans. dont know **** about boxing.

It was disgusting to read bandwagon fans' posts. Reminds me of the times when they were predicting Jeff Lacy to blow out the Great Joe Calzaghe. People need to learn styles makes fights. The boxer usually beats the brawler/puncher.

StubHub Center, Carson, California - Kell Brook (33-0, 22KOs) has now fulfilled his potential with a twelve round majority decision to capture the IBF welterweight championship from Shawn Porter (24-1-1, 15KOs), who suffered the first loss of his pro career.. The scores were 114-114, 117-111 and 116-112 for Brook.

Porter was being rugged in the first round and trying to rough Brook up for most of the round. Neither fight landing anything of note in the early going. In the second round, a clash of heads opened up a cut above the left eye of Brook.

If Porter would have lost by KO i had to delete my account,thanks GOD it didn't happened. Anyway what a horrible fight,BUNDU beat this guy! BROOK IS NOT SPECIAL AT ALL,IMO.

Damn, I missed the fight, but I'm shocked.

[bigcursedawg]

I wasn't impressed with either guy tonight to perfectly honest. Brook did what he had to do and Porter wasn't able to make the right adjustments and land very cleanly. I'm just glad Alexander Brook was cancelled 3 times. Can you image what a ****ing clinch fest that would be.

No doubting brooks talent but what was really impressive about his performance was his composure, even after the first 5 rounds.

Whooped? Beautiful? masterclass? schooled?

What the hell were people watching????

DIrrell also whooped bika and Chaves whooped rios. The word youre looking for is held

How many clean punches did Porter land all night? 10? He got embarrassed. Brook worked him. You don't get points for swinging and missing. He looked horrible.

Sad that Porter lost. Damn I can just imagine how the brothers feel.

Here come the firers, the looting and rioting
