By Rusty Nate: Having read a few articles and more importantly the comments regarding the fight between Kell Brook and Shawn Porter, I felt compelled to put across the truth behind the stupid comments.
The fight was built up as being close between the two fighters for much of the same reasons on both sides. They were men that were untested on a realistic world class level.
Brook is a fighter that appears to have been protected and spoon fed easier opponents over the years than he probably should have been. That’s no surprise and is pretty accurate. He has fought above domestic level but probably nothing to far north of European / Commonwealth level.
