SNAC = Victor Conte = bad ass.
Pointless doing and olympic style testing because Porter is as clean as a whistle even if he was juicing.

Maybe I missed it, is this fight still on schedule or is it official again?

Shawn Porter should change his nickname to Son Of God since Andre Ward is practically retired. Keep up the good work champ

Porter seems like he'll make a great champ! I'm certain he'll be a household fan favorite name real soon. Some of Pac's lure to the masses seems like it's rubbed off on him what time they've trained together. Wish great things for you Shawn!

Porter needs to straighten up those punches. Even Kell Brook throws pretty good straight rights. Porter won't be able to get through every fight using his brute strength which is basically what he's been doing for his last couple of fights. That's why he had so many problems with Diaz in the 1st fight. but given their styles..I'd love to see a Porter vs Bradley fight..

Looking kinda chubby are we? I hope they demanded drug testing and kept it on the contract.

Man I hope Porter isn't juicing

Was there any truth to the testing issue?
