WELL DONE KELL BROOK.

Sun Aug 17, 2014 4:24 am

And the new .....

I had it 5 rounds each and two even.

One judge had it a draw, the two yanks had it for Brooks Smarter work.

One had it 117-111 f**k knows what he was watching :lol:


But Britain has a new champion.

Can't take him seriously. Good fighter but every time he opens his mouth he sounds like a complete fairy!

I think there will be a big domestic match up between Kell Brook and Amir Khan now at a big venue. Would be a good fight.

Watched the fight back without jim whites commentary clouding my judgment. Think kell had it by a round porter never landed alot but was like a bull in a china shop.

British judge gave a draw so i thought there's no way be get the verdict from the 2 american judges. No idea how one gave it to Brooke 117-111.

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.

To be fair to the OP if your going to watch highlights or a re run of a match without knowing the result then logging onto a forum or something like Facebook before the end is never a good idea :-)

Thread title could have been just 'Kell Brook' or 'Last nights Boxing' and i would have avoided it without knowing.

You could've opened it and it said:


Well done KELL, you lost tonight but you faced an awesome opponent in his back yard. You proved yourself at this level and you will get another shot, unlucky but well done."



Either way, if you wanted to know the result so badly why not watch the fight?


Another poster put up a thread called "and the new" how is that any different?

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.

I don't listen to Tv.....I've seen a lot of Boxing in my time mate and for me he didn't do enough to take the title.

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!

The post was Made on the back of the fight.
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.

Got no problem with the fight discussion just take a bit more care with the title.

Doesn't matter now, fight has been and gone. Enjoyed the fight a lot, looking forward to his next fight now, he's definitely world class.

How can anybody say it's fixed? 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 purposely avoided Sky Sports News etc so that i wouldn't see the result. I thought a football forum would be safe to browse.

Yeah dave parris shocked me aswell, close rounds you can kinda understand why a draw could of happened but throwing bunches of punches wild landing on brooks back and shoulders don't count but there's a myth in boxing that walking down and high work rate wins you rounds even if you don't even land on the target, that's side boxing does my head in, boxing is hit and don't get hit imo, jim watt been worst for years picking boxers before hand to win and sticking by them no matter what during the fight, dave parris normally good judge though
