16 by decision, 5 by KO. Most seem to be pointing towards the Carson Jones blueprint from their first fight.

I think Porter is a justified favorite and several of those 'insiders' suggested that the fight would be competitive, but not even one going for Brook? Surprising.....

Didn't expect anything else. They never really rate our fighters. Hope we can throw it right back at them! Go on Kel!

If you read those many give kell a good chance but ultimately the location alone would make a tipster favour Porter. I think the yanks underestimate Kell's power though.

So is the blueprint to get outclassed for 6 rounds then hope Kell gasses after? He's learnt from that and if it wasn't for the nose who knows if he would of struggled so much, meanwhile Porter gets a lucky draw vs Diaz but everyone gives him a pass because of what he's done since, well Kell's a different fighter too!
I'm in full flow Kevin Keegan mode, I would love it if Kell wins Saturday night/Sunday morning, come on Kell I believe you will pull it off

Haha I could hear Keegan's voice in my head reading that.

Bodes will for Brook if he wins, the shock of his victory will get a bigger and better reaction from the media and fans out there. Never a bad thing to arrive with a bang.
