Kell Brook: Me and Khan can be like Froch-Groves

by

Kell Brook(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Ivan Godfrey: Kell Brook (32-0,22K`Os) has revealed that he believes that a bout between himself and fellow English welterweight Amir Khan(29-3,19 K`Os) has the potential to be as big an event as the may blockbuster between Carl Froch and George Groves. However, the fight taking place at all is of course dependent on a successful outcome to his own challenge for the IBF welterweight strap against the undefeated American champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs).

Brook said, “I believe so (that it can be like Froch-Groves). A win over Porter gives me a world title and opens all the doors at the elite level. I think everyone would grab onto the Khan fight and it will be huge like Groves-Froch because there is no love lost between us”.

Frampton and Brook with good chance of picking up world titles

by

brook542By Tom Berridge: Belfast’s Carl Frampton and Sheffield’s own Kell Brook are almost certain to become IBF Champions within the next 30 days.

Kell Brook is facing IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter next weekend on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California, who in my opinion has won his title, simply by facing Devon Alexander at the right time. And let’s not be foolish enough to think that Paulie Malinaggi was any kind of test, other than a banker victory for Porter in their fight last April.

US v UK pound for pound

by

By Gav Duthie: By the very definition of the pound for pound concept it is difficult to compare U.S to UK boxing. The United states of America has the worlds 3rd biggest population of 318,480,000 compared to the United Kingdom at 22nd with 64,105,700 so fighter for fighter America should be much better.

Shawn Porter hoping to get Mayweather fight after Brook

by

porter023By Scott Gilfoid: In his media conference call today, IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KO’s) said that the guy he wants next after he beats Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) is a unification fight against WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Porter isn’t overlooking Brook, but he’s not all that concerned about him. He’s studied Brook in depth and sees an upright, rigid fighter with a very basic fighting style that he’s going to expose in their fight next month on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Brook: I’ll get respect from the haters after Porter fight

by

brook542By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) thinks he’ll soon be getting tons of respect from fans he calls “haters” after he faces IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) next month on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Brook believes that he’s going to look so good in that fight while beating Porter that the haters will in turn give him respect.

Brook is kind of bent out of shape because there isn’t drug testing that he was hoping to have during the run up to the fight. It’s unknown what happened to the testing that Brook wanted, but perhaps it was too costly to have to pay for the extra testing. After all, we’re not talking about this being a pay-per-view fight or anything like that, so it’s not as if the money if falling from the sky for a fight of this nature.

Kell Brook: No truth of me being injured for Porter

by

By Scott Gilfoid: With a little over three weeks to go before August 16th fight between challenger Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) and IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs), Brook took to twitter to address the rumors of him being injured and on possibly pulling out of their fight at the StubHub Center, in Carson, California, USA.

Porter: Brook is getting his first loss on August 16th

by

porter5789900By Scott Gilfoid: IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) expects to hand unbeaten #1 IBF Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KO’s) his first loss of his career on August 16th in their fight at the StubHub Center, in Carson, California, USA. Porter sees Brook as basically just an experienced fighter with a stand-up European style of fighting.

Porter notes that Brook likes to jab and then load up with right hand. Porter doesn’t see anything complicated about Brook, as he does the same thing over and over again against the weak opposition that he’s been matched up against during his 10-year pro career.

Hearn: When Brook beats Porter, a Khan fight will be massive

by

brook333By Scott Gilfoid: Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) still hasn’t even fought IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KOs) for his IBF title and yet Brook’s promoter Eddie Hearn can’t keep thinking about a much bigger fight between Brook and Amir Khan that he wants to put together later this year.

Brook faces Porter on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. The favorite to win the fight is Porter, who will not only be fighting in front of his own fans, but he’ll also have the advantage in power, inside fighting skills and experience. The deck is heavily stacked in Porter’s favor for this fight, and it’s clearly not looking good for the 28-year-old Brook.

Brook: I’m going to prove to the haters I’m the real deal against Porter

by

brook123By Scott Gilfoid: #1 IBF Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KO’s) says he wants to shut up his critics by beating IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter (24-0-1, 15 KO’s) next month on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California. Brook, 28, is bothered by the fact that few boxing fans give him any chance at beating the American Porter.

Collectively, fans see Brook as faring no better against Porter than Paulie Malignaggi did in getting obliterated in 4 rounds. Many fans think Brook backed out of his scheduled fight against former IBF welterweight champion Devon Alexander last year due to a bad case of the nerves.

by

hearnBy Scott Gilfoid: Matchroom Sport promoter Eddie Hearn believes that IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter’s fighting style is absolutely perfect for his fighter #1 IBF Kell Brook (32-0, 22 KOs) to knock him out in their fight next month on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Hearn acknowledges that Brook is facing his best opponent of his career in 26-year-old Porter, but he believes that Brook has the gears to shift though to still beat him.
