WBC welterweight champion “Showtime” Shawn Porter, WBC super middleweight champion Anthony “The Dog” Dirrell and former three-time world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero hosted a media workout in Las Vegas Wednesday as they near their respective PPV showdowns taking place Saturday, September 28 from Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Shawn Porter: “Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts. I’m going to hit him. I’m going to hit him hard and I’m going to do things you’ve never seen anyone do against Errol Spence…I’m expecting there to be adversity for Errol. There’s going to be a moment where he realizes he’s losing this fight. He has to be solid psychologically. I don’t know if he’s going to be in the ring. I believe I have the advantage there and that I know how to get into his head.

Anthony Dirrell: “I’m going for the knockout. I go for the knockout in every fight. If it doesn’t happen, I can still go 12 rounds and come out victorious. This win would build my legacy. Some people expect me to lose, and I’m happy about that. This just takes my career to another level.”

  • dirrell will get knockout, spencer will beat porter and guerrero will win his fight.

  • Porter is a good opponent for any top welterweight, but he is just borderline to the elite level, Spence is one of the few true elite fighters we have nowadays. Spence will dominate Porter in a masterful performance, boring sometimes, but a great performance nonetheless. BTW, Roberto Guerrero should be retired, 4 losses since he fought Floyd, one of them badly trashed is a clear indication of his decline.
    Dirrell vs. Benavidez is an exciting matchup that shouldn’t go to the distance. The first one that lands flush could be the winner, and I go for Benavidez, who at 22 might have his better days ahead, being Dirrell the opposite at 34.
    Another fight that I like to watch is the one between two shopworn exciting warrios: Josesito Lopez and John Molina Jr.. I go for Josesito by decision

  • There is nothing impressive about Shawn Porter. He’s raw, unrefined, overrated, a mediocre boxer, prone to getting hit, and doesn’t carry much power. He’s just a thinly-veiled street fighter, too much of a caveman for the Sweet Science. Of course he brings the cockiness and big mouth to boost the hype. I see a Spence win.
