I think Brook will outbox him and land his big shots, can see brook dominating the centre and landing his punishing jab regular, Porter is very small, height wise, a big disadvantage against another puncher.

Porter is by far the physically bigger though. i think he bullies Kell and wears him down late.

It is a tough one. I would love to see Brook go to the states and turn over a yank. If only they could have got it here, hard to see him winning in the US.

That's how I see it. Great to see it finally happening.

I can see it going two ways... first way being Brook outboxes him and knocks him out OR Brook outboxes him in the first portion of the fight but doesnt get him out of there and then proceeds to gas badly ala the first Carson Jones fight and loses on a relatively close points decision.

Shawn Porter is gonna kick Brook's ass. Let's see if the fight actually comes off.

Your second scenario is how I also see it going, if it doesn't go like the first scenario

Porter looks strong although a bit wild. Brook is a good puncher but with world class timing. Both are there to be hit.
Should be fun!

Won't actually believe it happens until I see them both in the ring on fight night, but if it comes off it should be a good one. Jones has already given the blueprint for beating Brook, Porter is far superior to Jones so expecting him to win fairly comfortably.

This is the first time Brook will be in with someone who can really hurt him, might bring the best out of him ?

Have you ever seen Kell Brook fight? It's a winnable fight for both,
should be a good match-up, on paper.

Finally I get to see how good (or not) Kell Brook actually is. Can't wait.

Should be a thrilling spectacle while it lasts but Brook will really have to go some to win this. Porter brings some pretty frightening pressure, the likes of which Brook cannot hope to match.
If Brook hasn't found the punch\punches of his career within 3 rounds then I don't give him much hope.
