Premier Boxing Champions on NBC ‘Broner vs. Porter’ Preview
Catchweight
Adrien Broner (30-1, 22 KOs) vs. Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs)
Ohio bragging rights are at stake when Cincinnati’s Adrien Broner takes on Cleveland’s Shawn Porter in a 144-pound catch-weight encounter at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The latest Premier Boxing Champions offering airs on Spike TV beginning at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT.
The Matchup: Broner recently encountered the first roadblock of his promising career, as he was outworked by Marcos Maidana en route to losing a unanimous decision in December 2013. He has since rebounded to post three consecutive triumphs, albeit against far less threatening opposition.
