Porter Outclasses Formella to Claim WBC Silver today in LA

By Carlos Costa

Far more effective, former WBC Welterweight World Champion Shawn “Showtime” Porter, 146.6, 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 rounds were 120-108 (three times) in favor of more talented Porter. The referee 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 hot 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 watched live on FOX’s “Fight Night.”

Promoter of the event was Premier Boxing Championship (PBC)
