SHAWN PORTER TO HOLD LIVE-STREAMED 12-ROUND EXHIBITION
Former welterweight world champion meets Lanardo Tyner
in an exhibition streaming live at
LAS VEGAS (Mas 7, 2016) – “Chotim” Shawn Porter will hold a special 12-round exhibition match on Saturday, Mas 12 that will stream live on the Premier boksè chanpyon (PBC) Facebook page (www.facebook.com/
In an effort to stay active and give his fans an opportunity to see him in live action, Porter will hold an old-fashioned exhibition against Lanardo Tyner (30-10-2, 19 Ko) at his gym – Porter Hy-Performance Center at 7 p.m. PT nan Samdi. Apre bout la, Porter will host a 30-minute Facebook Live video Q&A to interact directly with fans about what’s next for him that will also be on the PBC Facebook page.
Porter was as disappointed as most boxing fans when Thurman was injured in an automobile accident and had to pull out of their highly anticipated welterweight championship showdown. It’s no coincidence that Porter is holding this fight on the same night that he was supposed to battle Thurman.
“When I found out about Mas 12 not happening because of what happened to Keith, I tried to move forward to fight someone else,” Di Porter. “But given the level of that fight with Keith, there wasn’t anything for me really. So my dad and I decided to do this exhibition. I’m not getting paid. This is 100 percent for anybody out there who loves to see me compete and perform. Lanardo Tyner is a veteran who has fought almost everybody and he’ll provide good excitement. We won’t be going through the motions. This is real.”
“We’re doing the exhibition because Shawn was so focused on fighting Keith Thurman that we wanted to keep him focused until we can determine when they’ll be boxing again,” said Ken Porter, Shawn’s father and trainer. “We were getting off a plane in Big Bear for training camp when we heard that Keith had been injured and couldn’t fight on Mas 12. We continued to spar and train. We figured the only way we could keep that focus was to have someone push Shawn for 12 rounds or however long it last.
In addition to Porter’s exhibition, amateur middleweight Brandyn Lynch, nephew of legendary comedian Eddie Murphy, will face fellow amateur Joey Alday in a four-round bout.
In his last match Porter scored a 12-round unanimous decision against Adrien Broner in Las Vegas last June. The match against Thurman is one of the most highly anticipated of 2016 and will be rescheduled soon.
For his exhibition showdown with Tyner the fighters will wear headgear and use 16-ounce gloves. The fighters will weigh-in the day before the match, but there will be no involvement from the Nevada State Athletic Commission. “Mock” judges and a professional referee will be used to score the fight and complete the atmosphere of a fight night.
“We decided to do this because we needed the things associated with a big fight – the atmosphere, the crowd, limyè yo,” said Ken Porter. “We’re going to have everything a big fight will have – a weigh-in the Vandredianvan, the referee, the ring card girls. Mentally and physically Shawn needs this because he hasn’t fought nan 10 mwa.”

-5 nan pye-9, 27-year-old Prograis, originally from New Orleans, La., but currently residing in Houston, Texas, is an aggressive-minded southpaw who’s making his 2016 debut and third start on ShoBox. Before turning pro in April 2012 he competed in the 2012 United States Olympic Boxing Trials.
Nan l ' ShoBox debut on Aug, 17, 2015, he registered an impressive,eight-round decision over previously undefeated Amòs Cowart.PWOGRAM, who had won eight straight by knockout going into the Cowart clash, resumed his KO-winning streak with a ninth-round knockout over Abèl Ramos dènye Dec. 11 sou chotim.
“I can’t wait to fight on March 25. I’m ready to put on another great show for the fans and demonstrate how I continue to improve as a fighter,"Te di Prograis, ki moun ki te 16 when he turned to boxing after relocating to Houston because of Hurricane Katrina. “I know I have a tough opponent, but I’m ready to go out and perform.
“Aaron Herrera is a rugged veteran and I know there will be some fireworks. I am thankful to my promoter, DiBella Lwazi-, and to the network, Chotim, for the opportunity to display my skills and talent.”
Konsènan tinon li, Prograis said, “My manager and my dad were just trying to come up with nicknames. Fondamantalman, everybody was just shooting out names and they shot out that one – ‘Rougarou’. Nan premye, I didn’t like it, but it stuck with me. A rougarou is like a Louisiana-type swamp monster or werewolf.”
Herrera, 27, of Valladolid, Meksik, yon gayan nan 16 in a row at the outset of a pro career that began in August 2008, has fought some noteworthy opposition. This will be his second fight in U.S. tè. In his stateside debut, Herrera dropped a 10-round decision to undefeated prospect Pedro Campa dènye Dec. 12.
Besides experience, Herrera has solid skills, movement and hails from a strong family boxing background (his father and grandfather boxed). He’s at his best when he keeps his foes off-balance and can surely outbox them. This will be the 17th consecutive time he’ll be matched against a boxer with a winning record.
“I’m very excited at the opportunity to showcase my talent on theShoBox series,’’ Herrera said. “I’ve watched a few fights of Regis on YouTube. Li nan yon avyon de gè bon, but I am a better one. I feel fighting in Mexico has given me the upper hand. Mexican fighters are tough. I have fought better opposition and I’m the more experienced fighter.
“I’ve been looking for an opportunity like this. I need a good breakout fight for the fans to see me in action. I am a proud Mexican fighter and on March 25 the fans will see how real Mexicans fight like, and Prograis will know who Aaron Herrera is. Viva Mexico!"
The highly regarded Baranchyk is making his second eight-round start and second in a row on ShoBox. An offensive-minded fighting machine, he registered a 2:28, premye-wonn pentch sou Shadi Shehadeh nan kòmansman pi resan li te sot pase Dec. 11 sou ShoBox.
Baranchyk, of Minsk, Byelorussia, is a former European amateur standout who turned pro in June 2014 and relocated to the United States just a few months after. 5-an pye-7, 23-year-old has won all eight of his U.S. sorti, seven by way of knockout, five in the first round.
“I am thrilled to make my second consecutive appearance on ShoBox,"Baranchyk Mackenzie. “I know that my next opponent will be a test for me, but I will score another exciting victory for the fans.’’
Opozan li, Givhan, turned pro in August 2012, won his first 15 scraps, boxed a four-round split draw with Freddy Durand sou Aug. 22, 2015, and is coming from a majority decision over Juan Santiago dènyeNov. 13.
5-an pye-7, 29-year-old fought 14 times in Michigan and one time each in West Virginia, Mississippi and Kentucky. The ultra-confident Givhan is taking a step up in class in Baranchyk, but he’s certainly not in awe of his assignment and is eagerly anticipating the opportunity.
“I am getting my mind ready for war,’’ said Givhan, whose nickname, “King Beamen,” is a reference to Jamie Foxx’s character from the movie “Any Given Dimanch."
“Training is going great both mentally and physically. I belong on theShoBox series because they showcase great talent and, false modesty aside, I have great boxing talent. I will feel at home fighting on SHOWTIME and I take this as a great honor to fight on their network.
“My opponent has not fought anyone of my caliber. I know he’s been talking trash, but it won’t matter in the end. He has not had an opponent who can outthink, outshine and outbox him. I am that guy, I am that fighter. The cliché is true: to be the best you’ve got to fight and beat the best. We are both undefeated and this is the kind of a fight that separates the good fighters from the great ones.’’
Golub, a six-foot, 27 year-old southpaw, turned pro in November 2012. At the outset of his career, li te ale 5-0 in the WSOB. He’s gone 10-0 depi, winning eight by knockout, including his last four in a row.

“It is an honor for me to make my national television debut,” Golub said. “Many champions got their start on ShoBox and I am determined to add my name to that illustrious list. My path toward a world title begins onMas 25 when I hand Marlon Aguas his first defeat.”
