Far more effective, former WBC welterweight world champion Shawn "Showtime" Porter (31-3-1, 17 KO's), 146.6 pounds, did more than enough to completely outclass previously unbeaten German welterweight Sebastian Formella (22-1, 10 KO's), 146, today at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, USA.🔥🔥
Scores after 12 one-sided rounds were 120-108 (three times) in favor of more talented Porter. The referee on top of the ring was former firefighter officer Jack Reiss.
With the unanimous decision win, the 32-year-old Porter (31-3-1, 17 KO's) claims the green WBC "Silver" welterweight belt, and inches closer to a possible new shot at the world title.
The victory also gets the Ohio-native the IBF # 2 world-rank in the competitive 147 pound weight-class . 🥊
The three hottest names in the division are Filipino legend Sen. Manny Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KO's), and unbeaten American world champions Errol Spence (26-0, 21 KO’s) and Terence Crawford (36-0, 27 KO’s). 🔥🔥🔥
The fight was streamed live on FOX's "Fight Night."
Promoter of the event was Premier Boxing Championship (PBC) 👊🏼👊🏼
