Турман (26-0, 22 КО), Клируотера, Штат Флорида., и Портер (26-1-1, 16 КО), of Las Vegas by way of Akron, Огайо, are both coming off superb 2015 campaigns that solidified the fresh faces among the elite of arguably boxing’s most exciting division. With perennial pound-for-pound champion Floyd Mayweather now retired, the 27-year-old Thurman and the 28-year-old Porter are hungry to stake their claim as the future of boxing.

Куэльяр (28-1, 21 КО), Буэнос-Айрес, Аргентина, will make the second defense of his WBA 126-pound title against Mares (29-2-1, 15 КО), a popular brawler from Southern California who has compiled a staggering resume over the past five years while earning titles at 118, 122 и 126 фунты. Cuellar vs. Mares joins a stacked lineup of featherweight bouts that showcases many of the world’s best 126-pounders aiming to unifying one of boxing’s deepest divisions.

“Keith Thurman against Shawn Porter is one of the best matchups that can be made in the welterweight division right now,” сказал Лу ДиБелла, Президент ДиБелла Entertainment. “Fans in attendance at Barclays Center and those watching on CBS will witness a passing of the torch as the hard-punching world titleholder Thurman and the highly skilled former champion Porter vie to prove who will be the next heir to the throne in the post-Mayweather era of the 147-pound division. The explosive co-main event between Jesus Cuellar and Abner Mares will give fans a fight to remember.”

“Barclays Center has featured many memorable welterweight fights and the long-awaited Thurman vs. Porter matchup promises to become the best one yet,” говорит Бретт Yormark, генеральный директор Бруклин Спортс & Развлечения.
