Shawn Porter pressured his way to a big lead over Adrien Broner in their 144-lb. fight on Friday night, then got up from a 12th-round knockdown to post a unanimous decision victory. The Premiere Boxing Champions show on NBC featured the two former champions in somewhat of a crossroads fight and Porter had the clear upper hand.
Official scores were 118-108, 115-111 and 114-112. InTheCorner.Net scored it 115-111 for Porter.
From the outset, Porter (26-1-1, 16 KO’s) pressured Broner and “The Problem” got off to his customary slow start. A pattern emerged where Porter’s activity and volume punching would meet Broner’s precise counter-punching in rounds that could possibly be difficult to score.
