LASa VEGAS (Junio 20, 2015) – “Showtime” Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16 KOs) outworked and out-landed Adrien “La Problemo” Broner (30-2, 22 KOs) on his way to a unanimous decision victory on Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono Sur NBC antaŭ 8,138 fans at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday night.

 

In a fight dubbedThe Battle for Ohio”, the Akron-born Porter threw 590 punches compared to the 309 thrown by the Cincinnati-native Broner. Porter landed 149 punches compared to 88 from Broner.

 

Porter relentlessly attacked the defensive-minded Broner with jabs and power shots to the body. Broner tried to slow down Porter by pushing and holding and was eventually deducted a point by referee Tony Weeks in round 11.

 

Showing the great power and heart that made him a three-time world champion, Broner came out strong in the 12Th round and sent Porter to the canvas with a powerful left hook. Porter was able to recover and stay on his feet despite losing the round.

 

Porter was rewarded for his efforts with a unanimous decision by scores of 114-112, 115-11 Kaj 118-108.

 

2012 Usono. Olympian Errol “La Vero” Spence Jr. (17-0, 14 KOs) remained undefeated and justified the talk of him as a future superstar by stopping PhilThe Italian SensationLo Greco (26-2, 14 KOs) En la tria rondo. The official stoppage coming 1:50 into the round.

 

Lo Greco came out strong, winning the first round on all three judges’ scorecards. Spence Jr. rebounded with a dominating second round that saw him put together numerous combinations to the head and body.

 

In the third round Spence scored an early knockdown with a sharp right hook. “La Vero” saw his opportunity and put the fight away shortly after with a lighting fast flurry that forced judge Robert Byrd to stop the fight 1:50 into the third round with Lo Greco on his feet.

 

In the NBC swing bout, rising junior middleweight prospect Terrell Gausha (15-0, 8 KOs) kept his perfect record intact against tough Mexican brawler Luis Grajeda (18-5-2, 14 KOs) with a unanimous decision victory.

 

Gausha knocked down Grajeda in the third round with a huge right hand that nearly ended the fight. Grajeda was able to survive the round and had moments during the fight but was out-boxed by the much quicker Gausha. The finals judges’ partituroj estis 78-73 Kaj 79-72 Dufoje.

Here are what the fighters had to say Saturday:

 

SHAWN PORTER

“”That’s how you beat a great fighter intelligently. We did everything we needed to do in preparation for this fight.

 

Coming out we wanted to establish the jab and establish that we were the better boxer. I think we did that over the course of the fight, and tried to stick in some pressure, #Anka?.

 

I think I did a good job and accomplished what I wanted to do. There were no surprised out there, I knew he would be quick to counter.

 

We established our dominance and that’s what got us those scores that we got and the win.

 

Honestly my dad (trainer Kenny) wanted a quicker pace, a faster pace. And that’s why you have a corner. I think if I had listened to him better I would have fought a little bit better. There are things you can learn and things you can build upon.

 

We’ll see what happens after this. I made a good statement tonight on NBC and showed what I’m capable of.

 

ADRIEN BRONER

“”I’m okay. My kids are okay and I’m financially okay. It’s okay.

 

Nothing surprised me. Fine de la tago, great champions can take a good loss, just like they take a good win.

 

I still will fight anybody. It don’t matter. I am a real animal. I came to fight today and I didn’t get the decision. But at the end of the day everyone here will take my autograph and my picture.

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I got hit with a couple of head butts in the first round, but I came back strong and got good experience out of this fight.

 

I worked the body for a bit and got his hands to drop and then I was able to go to the head. That was the game plan; to go to the body, that’s always the game plan. To go to the body, and the head will follow.

 

On short rest, I knew he’d tire and fade quickly.

 

I hit him with a right hook to the body and then caught his chin. Then I started whaling on him and it was over. I had a wounded guy and took advantage.

 

PBC is great. This was my first time on a huge card like this and I put on a good show. PBC is going to help bring in the casual fans and get more exposure for all of us. Tonight was my coming out party.

 

The other 147-pounders will have to take notice. I want Keith Thurman next on September 12 for one of Floyd’s titles.

 

 

PHIL LO GRECO

“”The short notice didn’t really affect me. Fighters fight no matter what. Nothing you can do but fight.

 

There wasn’t really one big shot, it was more the barrage of punches that ended it. I’m fine though and I’ll come back stronger.

 

I’d have liked to continue fighting because that’s what fighters do.

 

Fighting on a PBC card was a great experience. I’ll be back shortly.

 

I’m not sure what’s next right now. I don’t want to be impulsive, but I’ll be back soon.

 

TERRELL GAUSHA

 

I was catching him as he came in and trying to go to the body. He’s experienced though. I may have gotten a little anxious, but I got the win.

 

His activity in the fourth round didn’t really surprise me. I’ve worked with him before. He’s been around the block and he’s a skilled fighter.

 

I’m truly blessed to be in this position and to get this exposure on NBC. This gives me the motivation I need to get back in the gym and continue working hard.

 

I’m going to let my manager figure out what’s next. I just want to keep improving with every fight.

 

LUIS GRAJEDA

 

He hit me in the third and I was dazed, but I recovered fast and did my best to even up the rounds.

 

It was a straight right that caught me in the third and it surprised me a bit. From then on I was just trying to get back into it and get my shots off.

 

I loved being a part of this PBC production. Everyone treated me incredible. This was like being part of a championship bout.

 

I haven’t really fought an actual fight in a while before tonight. I want to get back in the ring some more and knock off the rest of the ring rust and get back to my true form.

 

The card was promoted by promoted by Mayweather Promotions in association with TGB Promotions.

Here is what the press conference participants had to say:

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, President of Mayweather Promotions

Mayweather Promotions has always done record-breaking numbers and our ultimate goal is to find the next Floyd Mayweather. With all of the talent out there, it will soon happen.

I want all of the fighters out there to keep working hard, stay focused and know that there is no limit to what you can do.

With all the media here talking to him, it’s obvious that Adrien is doing something right. He’s entertaining and people like it.

There’s no limit to how far Adrien Broner can go in this sport. He can fight. I’m in the gym with him and he’s boxing top guys. He’s pushing himself.

Shawn Porter is a really solid competitor. It’s not an easy task for Adrien, he’s going to have to fight.

Mayweather Promotions wants to continue to work with all fighters and help build their careers so that they can get to that top level.

ADRIEN BRONER

This is the AB show. You’re all getting it first, live and personal.

I’m fighting Shawn Porter and I’m fighting his dad. It’s like I’m fighting his dad because the check comes in his dad’s name, then he pays Shawn.

Since both Shawn and his dad get a check, if I whoop both of them, will I get paid twice?

I like Shawn as a person, but he gets so much negative energy from his dad. That’s just the truth.

After I whoop you Shawn, come sign with About Billions and I’ll buy you a nicer car than your dad’s. I already wrote out the contract.

“Ĉi tuj estos granda lukto. I’m very excited because I love putting on a show for the fans. This boy will not beat me.

I’m coming to deliver a beat down. Shawn Porter is a football player, I’m going to take him out. It’s going to be fun.

SHAWN PORTER

“Mi sentas grandan, it’s a good day. I’m just counting down until fight night.

I’ve been working on everything in camp. I have a lot of speed, potenco, quickness and the whole nine. It’s going to take everything to win this fight.

He’s got good speed, so we’re preparing for him to use a lot of that. We’ll make adjustments as we go along but the key is definitely taking care of his speed with our speed.

It’s so sweet to be fighting at MGM Grand, this is what you want as a fighter. It’s my time now. I’m so excited about this opportunity.

Number one, we have to take care of business. We know that if we take care of business it’ll be a great Father’s Day Dimanĉe.”

ERROL SPENCE JR.

I just have to stay focused and put on a spectacular performance Sabate Nokto. Hopefully next time I’ll be the main event. It’s a process but I’m getting there.

I’m ready for anybody in the welterweight division, I’m ready for any kind of step up in competition period. I’m not the guy to shy away from anybody.

Porter and Broner are a little more seasoned that me, but skill wise I think I’m right on par with them. Skill for skill I can match anybody in boxing.

A lot of guys aren’t in the position that I’m in to get the opportunities that I have. This is my third year as a pro and it’s all been coming pretty fast. It’s all about timing. I’m enjoying the process.

You’re going to be looking at the future of the sport come Sabato Nokto.”

PHIL LO GRECO

There’s no such thing as the right moment. The perfect fight is when you want it to be. I got the call and decided that this is the perfect timing.

It took me about 30 seconds to decide to take this fight. When you know why you fight, it makes these decisions easy.

A year ago there was no way I thought I’d be on this stage. Now I have real opportunities and we’re here now.

Win, perdi aŭ desegni, I’m going back to the gym next week.

I’m a pressure fighter. I like to engage and give the fans what they want to see. This is a great opportunity. Sabato is going to be fun.

RANCES BARTHELEMY

I’m feeling good moving up in weight. Everybody knows Antonio DeMarco is a very, very tough fighter. He’s one of the best I’ve ever fought. His record who he has faced proves that. He’s experienced, sed tiel mi.

I want to be the best Cuban fighter of all-time and I’m on my way.

I’m in tremendous shape and I’m ready to go. I want to showcase my skills Dimanĉe to show the world how I can fight.

Who do I want to fight? I’ll fight anyone they put in my way. I’ll fight Godzilla if he’s there.

I don’t do predictions but this is going to be an entertaining fight. Unlike past Cuban fighters, I have power and can knock people out. In the amateurs you don’t need power. But in the pros, that’s what it’s all about.

ANTONIO DeMarco

This is going to be a tough fight, a difficult fight, but I have a great responsibility. My 15-year-old sister told me that if I win, she will beat cancer. She was diagnosed with bone cancer last Novemberand it was life-threatening. But her last chemo treatment was yesterday.

From a ring standpoint, I am really looking forward to #Diman?o. I am very prepared, I am relaxed and ready to go. Besides for my sister, my other main motivation is that this is a chance to get my career back on track. A victory and I can get back to where I was and in position to challenge the best.

I am treating it like another fight, but of course it is much more. Exposure-wise, you can’t get better than network television.

I know Rances is going to be a difficult opponent. Li estas granda batalanto. But I have the experience to come up with a game plan to win. From a career-standpoint, this is a very important fight and I’m ready for it.

SAMMY VASQUEZ

It’s an honor to be here in this building among some of the greatest fighters in the world. Omotoso has never fought anyone like me before.

I’m here to restore the greatness of Pittsburgh boxing. Everyone knows ‘The Pittsburgh Kid’, Paul Spadafora, but we all carry the torch differently. I respect him as a fighter and he’s done some great things. We were raised differently and I’m amazed at the great things he’s accomplished. But I’m here to bring a new look to Pittsburgh boxing.

Omotoso is tough. His record speaks for itself at 25-1. His only loss was to Jessie Vargas who’s fighting for a world title. Mi surmetas’t prenas iun ajn malpeze. I’ve trained hard for this and I don’t think he’s fought anyone as fast as me or hits as hard as me with both hands.

I’m going to throw a lot of punches and it should be fun to see. It will be an entertaining fight. The main goal is to win. If the opportunity presents itself to knock him out then I will. I’m not going to go in there trying to knock his head off or anything. I have to box smart.

In this game it’s all about longevity and the less you get hit the longer you can fight so I don’t want to get hit. KE’s mia celo.”

WALE OMOTOSO

I feel blessed to have the opportunity to fight on such a big stage. Fighting on network TV provides all of us such a lift. Getting this kind of national exposure is what fighters like me need and what we work so hard to get.

I’m totally ready to take advantage and I look forward to being able to showcase my talents Dimanĉe. All my friends and countrymen are going to be able to watch it, and I don’t want to let them down.

I really don’t know much about Vasquez, other than he’s a southpaw whose quick, he is just another fighter who can fight. But we can all fight. It’s not like he has four hands and two heads.

The best man will be victorious and I am confident that is me.

“Mi ne povas atendi #Diman?o. I wish it was time to fight right now. This is going to be my Father’s Day present to my kids and wife.

Here are what the workout participants had to say:

 

FLOYD MAYWEATHER, President of Mayweather Promotions

 

You’ve got two guys this weekend in Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter who have the right teams around them. If they continue to win and we bring their personality out of them, we’ll see what happens.

 

Shawn Porter has been a champion before. He only has one loss and Adrien only has one loss. So I think this is a good matchup.

 

When I was getting ready for Robert Guerrero, who is a southpaw, the first guy I started looking to spar with was a southpaw and Errol (Spence Jr.) was giving me real good work.He pushed me and made me get in tip top condition, and once I was in tip top condition, I was ready and the best I could be. He’s a hell of a fighter.

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

Porter can’t beat me, it’s not going to happen.

 

I will not be the next Floyd Mayweather. I will be the first and only Adrien Broner.

 

I don’t know why I would be terrified of Porter. I’m not terrified of anything. He can talk, it’s all okay.

 

I’m going to give my dad a great Father’s Day present this weekend when I get that victory Sabato Nokto.

 

Everyone has to tune-in to see AB on NBC, it’s going to be a show just like every time I step into the ring.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

“Mi sentas grandan. My weight is great and that’s all that matters. That’s the first small battle and the next battle will come Sabate Nokto.

 

I think Broner thought that if he gets me drained it would be a problem for me, but it’s not going to be. That’s not the Porter way. We’ve done everything right to this point.

 

Broner keeps saying that he hopes I’m ready to bring it, but I don’t really understand what he means because everyone knows I’m ready and everyone knows I always bring it. You don’t have to ask that of Shawn Porter.

 

He’s a talker, he likes to run his mouth but it’s all good. We’re just going to do our thing Sabate Nokto.

 

This is going to be a good one. Certainly a crowd pleaser. Old or new to boxing, this is going to be good for you. Broner has skills, but I have skills too. It’s going to be a magnificent fight Sabate Nokto.”

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

It’s been training camp as usual for us. We didn’t really do anything different, it was a little more intense but all the same things we do.

 

I’m just ready to fight. I want to weigh-in, get some food in my stomach and get in that ring. I’m on weight already, it’s been a long, eight-week training camp so we’re 100 procento preta.

 

I’m a boxer-puncher. I can come forward or I can box. I’m always looking for the knockout and I’m always bringing exciting fights.

 

Fighting on NBC, on my biggest card to date, it’s really big for me and I have to perform so that I can get back on NBC and be the main event next time.

 

RANCES BARTHELEMY

 

I know DeMarco will be prepared and he’ll put a lot of pressure like Mexican fighters do. That’s the only way that he has a chance. We have a plan for how we’re going to fight.

 

Moving to Las Vegas has made me more relaxed and comfortable. Now that I’m married and have my daughter, it’s been even more peaceful. I’m preta iri.

 

Being on CBS where everybody in the U.S. can see me, it gives me even more inspiration. People will know who I am after this fight.

 

ANTONIO DeMarco

 

I’m coming in ready to box, brawl or whatever it will take to get the victory Dimanĉe.

 

I know my opponent is undefeated but he has not fought the same guys I have. My experience is better and it will show in the ring.

 

We had a great training camp, all the hard work is done. It’s about going out Dimanĉeand putting on a show for everyone to see.

 

SAMMY VASQUEZ

 

This was probably the best sparring camp I’ve ever had. It was a little longer than I’m used toabout eight weeksand we had some great sparring partners. I’m more ready than ever.

 

The guys that Omotoso’s faced, he’s knocked out, so he’s been doing his job. He’s a power hitter so I know I can’t take him lightly. He dropped Jessie Vargas, but he’s not as quick of a fighter as I am.

 

“Li povas diri kion li volas, but he’s not going to knock me out. That’s what he’s supposed to say. Everything changes when you step into the ring. He’s going to find out pretty quickly that he hasn’t faced anyone like me.

 

My game plan is to beat him and if I see the opportunity to knock him out then I will take it.

 

I’m fighting for all my fans back in Pittsburgh, all my brothers and sister in the Armed Forces. I’ll be carrying them on my back as I enter the ring #?I tiu #diman?o.”

 

WALE OMOTOSO

 

I’ve seen a few of Sammy’s fights. I think he has speed, but that’s the only thing that I see. I don’t think he has the power to knock me out.

 

I’ve faced the tougher guys than him. In my last fight I floored Jessie Vargas, and I think Jessie is quicker than him.

 

It doesn’t matter how quick he is, he’ll bring out the best in me.

 

When I see a challenge I like to face it. I’m going to knock him out.

FATHER’S DAY WEEKEND FIGHTS REPRESENT SPIRIT OF HOLIDAY

FIGHTERS FEATURED ON SATURDAY’S PBC ON NBC & SUNDAY’S PBC ON CBS CARDS REFLECT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF FATHERHOOD

 

LASa VEGAS (Junio 17, 2015) – Boxing’s storied history of close familial relationships will come to life this Father’s Day Weekend as Premier Boxing Champions returns to NBC onJunio 20 and CBS on Junio 21 live from MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The fighters featured on both of these stacked cards have close relationships with their own fathers, are fathers themselves or have found a father figure in the boxing gym.

 

Cetere, fans of the sweet science are often born into a longstanding love for the sport that is passed on from generation to generation as fathers share the tradition of watching boxing at home with their families. As Premier Boxing Champions continues to bring great action to network television, this Father’s Day Weekend of back-to-back fight cards is another opportunity for fathers to continue to pass this tradition along.

 

Sabate, Adrien “La Problemo” Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) Kaj “Showtime” Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) will face off in a fiercely competitive 12-round matchup. #Anka? sur la karto, La undefeated Errol “La Vero” Spence Jr. (16-0, 13 KOs) puts his record on the line against hard-hitting veteran Roberto “La Amenaza” Garcia (37-3, 23 KOs) in the biggest challenge of his young career. The PBC on NBC action begins at 8:30 P.M. ET/5:30 P.M. PT

 

Former world champions Rances Barthelemy (22-0, 13 KOs) Kaj Antonio DeMarco(31-4-1, 23 KOs) headline the Superegaj Boksaj #?ampiono Sur CBS card on Father’s Day, #Diman?o, Junio 21 live beginning at 4 P.M. ET/1 P.M. PT. Also featured in a televised bout is an explosive welterweight matchup that pits the undefeated Sammy Vasquez (18-0, 13 KOs) against Nigerian knockout artist Wale Omotoso (25-1, 21 KOs).

 

From the legendary duo of Floyd Mayweather, co-promoter of this weekend’s PBC fight cards, and his father Floyd Mayweather Sr. to other famed father-son teams such asJulio Cesar Chavez Sr. Kaj Julio Jr. Kaj Don Kaj Félix “Tito” Trinidado, the importance of fatherhood is as prevalent in the sweet science now as it has always been, as evidenced by the thoughts and comments stated below from this weekend’s featured fighters.

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

My dad ‘Popswas the first person to take me to the boxing gym and that is where we met Coach Mike [Stafford]. My dad just knew that he wanted me to box and he took me to the right place.

 

Everyone calls my dad ‘Popsbecause he’s like a dad to everyone around memy friends, fighters in the gym…#?Iu. He’s always been there 100 percent of the time.

 

Me and my dad are both a little crazy. We are similar people. We are both cut from a different cloth, we like to have fun and work hard. We mesh.

 

My dad usually comes to camp the last two weeks, so he is at the gym everyday leading up to the fights. When he’s not with me in the gym, he is working on cars as a mechanic in Cincinnati.

 

“[On being a father] I love being with my kids. I like to do fun things with them and give them more than I had as a kid. I love when they come to the gym and come to my fights.

 

When my youngest Adrieon was born, I was there every step of the way and now this Father’s Day is going to be even better when I win.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

My dad has always been there from sports to school and has helped me through all of it. He is an anomaly because he was always there as a single father. You don’t really find that too much in the African American communitya single dad that wants to be there for his children the way my dad has been there for me and my brother.

 

Every day is kind of like Father’s Day for us. I want to make this one very memorable and it is the first of many to come. But obviously #Diman?o will be much better if I win.

 

I feel like I make his day everyday. It’s him and I. Its what we do. You have your good days and bad days. For me being a son and an athlete team, it makes me want to perform on a different level.

 

ERROL SPENCE JR.

 

My dad got me started in boxing. He was a truck driver, so he used to drive overnight, and then he’ll get home 12:00 P.M. or later then take me to the gym. Then after that he’d come from the gym, ĝi estis kvazaŭ 5:00 #A? 6:00 P.M., and he would rest for one or two hours and go straight to work.

 

At the time, I didn’t really think about it, but as I got older and a little bit wiser, realizing all the sacrifices that he sacrificed for me to be able to box and go to all these national tournaments and all these tournaments out of state and stuff. He had to pay for the hotel, pay for food and stuff like that out of pocket. We didn’t have any sponsors and stuff like that.

I am proud to be named after my dad and I thank him for believing in me and pushing me to be the best I can be.

 

He plays a big part of my boxing career. He’s my supporter. That’s my mentor. That’s like my best friend. For Father’s Day, I’m going to get him a win, and it’s going to be an impressive win that he’ll be proud of and he’ll love. He played a big part in my career. Without him, I know I wouldn’t be boxing. My dad will be in my corner Sabato Nokto.”

 

RANCES BARTHELEMY

 

Father’s Day is very special to me because my wife and daughter, who are my world, treat me like a king for the day. Being a father is very important, and in today’s society, not enough fathers are there for their children. It’s great that there is a day to honor the good fathers that take care of their families.

 

“Mia patro, Emilio Barthelemy, was always there for me and my brothers. He got us into the sport of boxing. When I left Cuba it was very difficult for me because me and my dad were very close. I love him very much and I want to wish him a happy Father’s Day as well.

 

I remember when we were little, me and my brothers would take my father out to breakfast on Father’s Day. It was a very special time and we all enjoyed the moment. My wife and daughter love to spoil me on Father’s Day. Last year they took me to my favorite Cuban restaurant and I enjoyed a wonderful meal with both of them.

SAMMY VASQUEZ

 

Being a father of three girls and having such a strong relationship with my Dad makes

Father’s Day one of the biggest holidays for me.

 

My father has been with me every step of the way supporting my career from

selling tickets in Pittsburgh, to being with me at every fight and serving as one of my

administrantoj. It’s great to have him alongside me, it would be special to win this fight

on Father’s Day for him.

 

It’s tough having to be away from my daughter’s Dimanĉe but we’ll celebrate on

Lundo when I get back home and have our Father’s Day then.

 

WALE OMOTOSO

 

I am so proud to have two boys [ages 5 Kaj 2] with my wife. We have lived in Los Angeles for four years and we have a very happy life together there.

 

My wife’s parents came to LA from Australia so they can watch the kids this weekend when I fight and my wife can come and cheer me on.

 

My father died right before I turned pro and moved to Australia from Nigeria. I got an opportunity to move away from Africa and I took it. He would be proud.

 

My trainer Eric Brown is like a father to me now. He knows my wife and kids. We walk all the time. He tells me to keep my head on straight and focus.

 

I’m going to win Dimanĉe. That is going to be my Father’s Day present for my kids too. I’m going to win this fight for them. It is the best Father’s Day present I can givegiving them a reason to be proud of their dad.

Ĉi tie estas kio la gazetaraj konferencaj partoprenantoj devis diri Merkredo:

 

ADRIEN BRONER

 

I’m very blessed to be here. I’ve been through some things that would say I shouldn’t have been here today, but now I’m one of the biggest names in boxing.

 

This is a big fight because Adrien Broner is on the card. No disrespect to Shawn and Kenny, but I’m coming to win and I’m going to win.

 

Even if it’s a hard fight, I’m going to win this fight. They say he’s strong, they say he comes like a bulldozer. Whatever they bring to the table on Junio 20, I?? Preta.

 

I’m going to be the most powerful fighter on June 20Th and definitely the prettiest fighter onJunio 20. Don’t blink or you’ll miss it.

 

SHAWN PORTER

 

I’m the strongest fighter that Adrien Broner will ever get into the ring with.

 

I know he’s got more fights as a professional than me but that doesn’t mean he’s got more experience than me. We do all our fighting in the gym, prior to the fight.

 

I’m still the same ‘Showtime’ Shawn Porter, I still have everything that I need to be great and come out victorious. Not being relevant after this fight is not an option.

 

Our first mindset isn’t going to be to bully him, but to outbox him and use our speed. I’m going to be better than I ever have.

 

I’ve learned a lot about how to not be held and how to get guys off of you. That’s part of the process and it will be important in this fight.

 

Everything has been going really smoothly and I’ve been strong this entire camp. It’s been great and it’s what you need going into a fight.

 

I haven’t looked at this as a catch weight, but as a weight class. My weight class is 144. Anything that he expects to gain from having me come down to 144, he’s not going to get it.

 

PBC has been a blessing for these fighters and boxing in general. With all the fights on television it’s just an honor to be a part of. There’s no clearer opportunity than now, on network television to show what I got.

 

MIKE STAFFORD, Broner’s Trainer

 

These guys know each other from the amateurs. It’s Ohio, so we are familiar with each other. I’m glad that they took the fight, I love Shawn, I love Kenny, but it’s business and we are here to win.

 

KEN PORTER, Porter’s Father & Trejnisto

This is the stage we all want to be on, the pinnacle of the sport. We have two elite fighters up here and I expect they will put on a performance that will be memorable throughout the summer and throughout the rest of the year.

 

LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO de Mayweather #Anta?enigo

 

With the two styles of Adrien Broner and Shawn Porter you can’t expect anything but a great fight.

 

This is a tremendous platform for Mayweather Promotions. We’ve promoted the biggest fights in the history of the sport. It’s a great feeling to be part of the PBC family.

 

To step right on in and promote one of the biggest names of the sport in Adrien Broner, we’re expecting a great turnout and great ratings so fans across the country should make sure to tune-in.
