Lamont Peterson picked up the secondary WBA Regular title on Veljače. 18, a na Travanj 22 Shawn Porter knocked out Andre Berto to become the mandatory challenger to Thurman’s WBC belt. The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn on Srpanj 2.
Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.
Ove subote u Sheffieldu, Engleska, Potok (36-1, 25 Kos) will make the fourth defense of the IBF belt he won via majority decision over Porter in 2014. The 31-year-old, koji nikada nije srušen, will be the decided hometown favorite in front of what is expected to be 25,000-plus fans in the first world title fight in the 162-year history of Bramall Lane.
The 27-year-old Spence (21-0, 18 Kos) has long been considered one of boxing’s most prized prospects. The IBF’s No. 1 contender has knocked out eight straight opponents and has improved as his level of opposition has risen – his last six opponents held an impressive combined record of 151 wins against just eight losses. The Dallas resident travels abroad for this long-awaited title opportunity as he attempts to become the first American to dethrone an Englishman on British soil in nearly a decade.**
With both Spence and Brook affirming their intention to unify the division after Svibanj 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say about U subotu IBF title matchup.
SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Former Undisputed Welterweight World Champion
“I’m really excited about this fight in particular, mainly because both fighters have to be on their A-game. I know there is talk about Kell’s eye surgery being a psychological problem, but from personal experience, I don’t see that being the case. I never thought about my eye once the doctor gave me the green light.
“To ask me who is going to win this fight, I have my favorite in Errol Spence. Ali, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. To se, rekao je, I am going to sit back and watch a great night of boxing.”
KEITH THURMAN – Unified WBA & WBC Welterweight World Champion
“This is an interesting fight. I have not followed Kell too much, but I have obviously seen Errol fight in the U.S. Errol is a tough, young fighter who is just getting into the public’s eye, and Kell obviously has the strength of the British crowd on his side.
“It should be a tough fight that really speaks to the strength of the welterweight division. Both fighters are men that I would be open to fighting as I continue to unify the division in 2018. As a fight fan, let’s see what’s ‘Special’ about Kell Brook, and we’ll see if Errol Spence can show us he’s ‘The Truth.’ It should be a great fight and I’ll be watching.”
DANNY GARCIA – Former Welterweight World Champion
“I think this is a 50/50 borba. I think the person with the better game plan is going to win. There is a lot of pressure to go into someone’s backyard like Spence is doing, and he’s never faced a fighter in his prime before like Brook. It is definitely a test for him and a big step up in competition. If he is ready, he can do it. He just has to go in there and stay focused.
“The welterweight division is the best division in boxing. I still feel like I am one of the best welterweights in the world even though I came up short. I never thought I would say a loss would make me stronger because I didn’t see myself losing. I want my titles back and to be seen as the best in the best division.”
SHAWN PORTER – Former Welterweight Champion & Current WBC No. 1 Contender
“I’m glad Errol is getting his title shot, and I’m happy he’s going to England for it. I’m obviously pulling for the American. Errol is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer. I think he’s ready to show the world something, but Kell is right up there in that top tier of welterweights. People who tune in should be thrilled. I know I’m looking forward to it.
“The welterweight division is awesome, top to bottom. We’re right where we need to be and should be. Boxing returning back to the masses with PBC came at the perfect time for me and the rest of the top welterweights. There are so many of us capable of winning a title right now.”
LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (Redovito) Welterweight World Champion
“This is going to be a tough fight, but I think Errol should win. At least I’m pulling for Errol to win. He’s got to overcome the idea that there will probably be 30,000 people cheering against him, so he has to show the judges that he deserves to win.
“Brook is a good fighter and is going to bring his best, but I think Errol, in the end, is the better fighter. But he will have to prove it.
“The welterweight division is one of the best in boxing right now. We’ve got a lot of good fighters in their prime making the division strong. And guys are willing to fight each other. We are seeing the kind of fights the fans want to see. If this keeps up it could bring boxing back to where it was in the days when Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler all fought each other. So it’s really good for boxing right now.”
**Timothy Bradley dethroned another Sheffield native, Junior Witter, u 2008 in Nottingham.

BROOKLYN (Travanj 23, 2017) - Shawn Porter postigao zaustavljanje u devetom kolu Ostali Berto postati obvezni izazivač WBC-a jedinstvenom prvaku u poluteškoj kategoriji Keithu Thurmanu na glavnom događaju PRVENSTVENOG BOKSIRANJA, predstavio Premier Boks prvaka, Subota navečer u SHOWTIME iz Barclays Centra u Brooklynu.

Uvjerljivom pobjedom, Porter potencijalno zaradi revanš utakmicu s Thurmanom, koga je tijesno izgubio do prošlog lipnja u 2016 Kandidat za borbu godine u Barclays Centeru, dom BROOKLYN Boks ™.
Meč u poluteškoj kategoriji bio je gruba stvar koja je propala već od uvodnog zvona. Nositi (27-2-1, 17 Kos) cijev naprijed da uguši uvredu Berta (31-5, 24 Kos), udarajući Bertovo tijelo iz neposredne blizine. Duboka pukotina otvorila se preko Porterovog lijevog oka od slučajnog udarca glavom u drugom, a drugi mu se otvorio nad desnim okom samo dvije runde kasnije. Činilo se da Porterova stalna agresivnost i učinkovit rad na tijelu frustriraju Berta, koji se borio da se drži izvan konopa.
Neobičan niz događaja odvijao se u uvodnoj minuti devete runde. S nesigurnim Bertom na nogama nakon još jednog sukoba glava, Porter je nasrnuo i podmetnuo bivšeg prvaka lijevom kukom za njegov drugi nokdaun u borbi. Berto je ustao, ali Porter se nastavio povezivati s Bertom protiv konopa i sudac Mark Nelson mahnuo je s natjecanja 1:31. U vrijeme prekida, Porter je nadvisio Berta 60-12 tijekom posljednja dva kruga.
“Moram očistiti kundake,- rekao je Porter. “Pokušali smo iskoristiti cijeli prsten, ali ponekad se u žaru bitke događaju stvari. Ja sam borac i g. Berto je također borac, ti udarci glavom bili smo samo nas dvoje koji smo ulazili i borili se.
“Mislila sam da sam se pametno borila večeras. Mislio sam da sam dobro odabrao udarce. There were times where I smothered my shots, but there were also times where I smothered him. He has a dangerous uppercut but we had a great game plan. This was a just very hard fought battle by both of us and I’m blessed to get the victory.”
Nakon borbe, Berto admitted that Porter’s aggressiveness and the accidental headbutts frustrated him.
“I have to give him credit, but he’s a rough fighter,” Berto said. “He has great skills but, istovremeno, he was trying to be rough and trying to handle me anyway he could. I got a lot of headbutts, and he did too. Shawn’ is a tough competitor. We had a good competitive fight until the headbutts got to be a little too much for me. But I thought it was a really good fight before that.”
Nakon borbe, SHOWTIME Sportski novinar Jim Gray pitao je Thurmana, koji je bio u krugu eliminatora, ako bi Porteru odobrio revanš.
“Njegov je tim bio uporan u vezi revanša i sada se izborio za to,”Rekao je Thurman. “Moramo samo sjesti i razgovarati o tome. On je gladan, vidite način na koji se bori, to bi mogla biti opet sjajna borba «.
Odgovorio je Porter: "Bio sam ovdje gore poželjevši da on kaže da - to je borba koju želim sljedeću."
Jermell Charlo obranio svoje WBC Svjetsko prvenstvo u poluteškoj kategoriji dominantno, poraznim nokautom u šestoj rundi obveznog izazivača Charles Hatley u glavnom događaju SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXA.
Charlo (29-0, 14 Kos) spustio oštriji hitac s zvona za otvaranje, pomoću oštrog lijevog udarca za postavljanje izuzetno učinkovite ravne desne. Šarlo iz Houstona, mlađi blizanac neporaženog bivšeg prvaka od 154 kilograma Jermalla, pod Hatley (26-2-1, 18 Kos) sredinom trećeg s udžbenikom lijevo-desno kombinacijom koja je zapanjila njegovog kolegu Teksašanina.
Upečatljiva preciznost Charla nastavila se u četvrtom i petom, prije navale udaraca i savršeno tempirane desne strane do brade poslao je Hatleyja licem prema naprijed da padne na platno. Sudac Harvey Dock nije oklijevao i odmah je odmahnuo rukom :36 s Hatleyem hladnim na platnu.
Točnost Charlovog uboda je govorila - spustio je svoj udarac na a 31 postotak isječka za postavljanje njegovih snimaka snage, koji su se povezali na impresivnom 52 posto. Sveukupno, Charlo je sletio 42 posto njegovih ukupnih udaraca u gotovo šest punih rundi borbe nagrada.
“Upotrijebio sam taj udarac za postavljanje desne ruke,”Rekao je Charlo. “I knew Charles Hatley goes down and he gets back up – he’s a warrior – and I knew I had to get in there and be a lion.
“Hatley was moving around a lot. He was trying to engage and I tried to tell him to come fight. When he finally got in there, that’s when I got him out. I’m the champ so I have to continue to fight my mandatory. They got a guy named Jarret Hurd that took my brother’s title – we could unify.”
Amanda Serrano became the first women and the first Puerto Rican to win world titles in five weight divisions with an eighth-round TKO of Dahiana Santana to capture the vacant WBO Women’s Bantamweight World Championship in the featured bout of SHOWTIME BOXING on SHO EXTREME.
Serrano (32-1-1, 24 Kos) bio agresor sa zvona za otvaranje, krećući se naprijed i precizno napadajući kao Santana (35-9, 14 Kos) podržao i jeo stalnu prehranu kontra udaraca. Santani je u četvrtom oduzet bod za klinčenje, i imao je vidljive rubove iznad oba oka nakon sedmog.
Serrano se spajao gotovo 3-1 omjer snage udaraca kad je sudac Benjy Esteves uskočio da zaustavi borbu 1:14 osmog kruga.
“Znači mi sve. Toliko smo radili. Trudili smo se za ovaj trenutak,”Rekao je Serrano. “Biti svjetski prvak s pet divizija nevjerojatno je. Biti prva žena i prva Portorikanka je nevjerojatno.
“Tako sam ponosan što sam Portorikanac. Ponosan sam što sam SHOWTIME borac. Baš sam sretna zbog ovog trenutka. Samo da budem svjetski prvak s pet divizija, Danas bih mogao u mirovinu i to bi bio najsretniji trenutak u mom životu. Tek počinjem. Nadam se da sam se vratio. "
U uvodnoj borbi SHOWTIME BOXING-a na SHO EXTREME, Jose Miguel Borrego (12-0, 11 Kos) nokautirao igru John Delperdang (10-3, 9 Kos) na 2:07 sedme u zakazanom osmokružnom velter kategoriji.
