PORTER OUTWORKS BRONER

Premier-Boxing-Champions-750x340-1423188016

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.

Official scores were 118-108, 115-111 and 114-112. InTheCorner.Net scored it 115-111 for Porter.
