We’ve got a matchup that should be chock-full of action on tap for tonight, as Shawn Porter will take on Andre Berto in a final title eliminator for the WBC welterweight strap. Both of these men have held welterweight belts before, and they are ready to leave it all in the ring over these 12 rounds in their quests to get back to the top.
Porter (26-2-1, 16 KOs) won the IBF welterweight title on December 7, 2013, as he picked up a unanimous decision victory over Devon Alexander. He would only make one successful title defense against Paulie Malignaggi before dropping his belt to Kell Brook via majority decision on August 16, 2014. The Akron, Ohio native had a chance to win the WBA welterweight title on June 25, 2016, but he was beaten via unanimous decision by champion Keith Thurman.

Berto (31-4, 24 KOs) became the WBC welterweight champ after knocking out Miguel Ángel Rodríguez in the seventh round of their June 21, 2008 bout. He made five successful title defenses until losing a unanimous decision to Victor Ortiz on April 16, 2011.
Berto won a new belt in his very next fight, dispatching Jan Zaveck in the fifth round of their September 3, 2011 bout to win the IBF welterweight title. But since that victory, the Winter Haven, Florida native has struggled quite a bit, going 3-3 in his last six fights. At least he made bank getting smoked by Floyd Mayweather, though.
