I thought at best Brooke gave a good account of bimself 2nd half of fight but didn't do enough to win.
You can see from his reaction, plus his corner and promoter that they didn't think he'd done enough either.
ps. Thank you to the original poster who put 'Well Done Kell Brook' as the thread title. Spoilt my viewi g this morning as i didn't want to know who won befoŕe i watched it.

Dont listen to what they say on the tv, watch it again and youll see brook was alot better than you first realise.
The stats came out that Brook actually landed more punches than porter, and was about 11% better conversion rate of punches thrown to punches landed.

Have to agree with Stevee here. I took a quick look on here early Sunday morning to see if there had been any city news in the Sunday papers but I saw the title of this thread before I watched the fight so it have the result away.
To the fella who suggested this forum and social media should have been avoided... Fair comment re social media as you wouldn't get any warning there and the result is given away instantly so I avoided twitter and Facebook but on a Cardiff football forum even if there was a thread on the fight I would have expected it to be titled "Kell Brook fight" or something similar. Just be more careful in future as it did annoy me and obviously I'm not the only one.
Anyway, rant over and like the OP said no idea how the American judges scored 117-111 and 116-112 when Dave Parris scored it a draw!! Bonkers scorecards. Last half of the fight Kells work was clean and crisp. Fair play to Kell's cut man for sorting that cut out in the 2nd. Great performance from Kell. Well done lad!

Brook landed the more cleaner flush punches, porter was just wild and sloppy, rushing in and swinging wild yeah he landed but not clean, brooks punches landed clean and could tell it landed, porter lost the fight himself if he was composed with his work he could of won but I might be biased as I prefer the smarter boxing side not the wild side e.g maidana, brook won by 2 rounds imo but f**k knows what jim watt was on about, he was biased and shit as usual, if you Watch it with the American commentators they loved brook and couldn't believe what porter was doing

I had stayed up and watched the under cards and main event.
If people had really wanted to watch the fight they would've watched it.
What would've happened if you had just walked into living room and the TV was on talking about the result or same with radio? Would you complain to them?
No you wouldn't.
