CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Former welterweight champions Shawn Porter and Adrien Broner will face each other on June 20 in Las Vegas in a main event of a Premier Boxing Champions bout on NBC.
Plenty is on the line for each fighter in their comeback attempts after losing respective belts.
Although the fight is in Nevada, it's also a battle of Ohio. Porter is a graduate of Stow High School. Broner (31-1, 22 KOs) is a native of Cincinnati.
Earlier this year, Broner commented on the differences between the two regions. Not only did he say that his hometown has the better fighters, but he would only fight Porter (25-1-1, 16 KOs) once Porter reached his level.
"I hope he does someday and becomes a big-time contender in the sport and we'll make it happen," Broner said.
Apparently, that time is here. Broner moved down to junior welterweight after he lost his title to Marcos Maidana, but is moving up for this bout. Porter is moving down in weight after spending most of his career as a welterweight and junior middleweight.
They have agreed to a catch weight of 144 pounds, but Porter said Broner insisted on the limit.
"He wants any advantage he can get," Porter said. "I'm a bigger guy and he's hoping if I have to come down a few more pounds that it will hurt me. My team knows I'm only going to get stronger. The weight is not an issue. I feel good."
Porter is especially confident because he will come into the ring as the bigger fighter after the weigh-in. He could weigh as much as 155 pounds the night of the fight. (There is a re-hydration clause. Neither fighter can weigh more than 155 on fight night). Porter will certainly try to use his weight and aggressive style in an attempt to neutralize Broner.
He can try to talk in the ring, and he'll get punched in the mouth.
"He likes to bully people," said Porter. "And we'll let him know from the first bell that he won't be the bully that night. He's a small guy and he needs to accept that."
Convincing the confident Broner of anything is a challenge in itself, but Porter has a plan.
"More than anything, you'll see him do things he's never done before, or hasn't done much of," Porter said. "And that's holding more, moving more, try to push off. You'll see [Broner] try to survive."
That only happened once to Broner. He was only desperate in his loss to Maidana. What has been consistent prior, during and after all of Broner's fights is his trash talking. So far, Porter has ignored it.
"He can try to talk in the ring, and he'll get punched in the mouth," Porter said.
Porter has survived to this point after he defeated Devon Alexander to win a world title in 2013. He followed that victory with a fourth-round knockout of former champion Paulie Malignaggi.
Porter, however, lost his title to Kell Brook by majority decision last year. He bounced back with a fifth-round knockout of Erick Bone in March on a Premier Boxing Champions card on Spike TV.
A victory over Broner would open up title hopes for Porter. A loss would be a crushing blow.
"This is going to be a great match," Porter said. "There will be a lot of action -- blood, sweat and tears are going to come out of this fight."
