Team Porter Targeting Three To Four Fights in 2015
By Ryan Burton
BoxingScene.com recently caught up with Kenny Porter, trainer of former IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter. On March 13th Shawn will face Roberto Garcia on Spike TV's inaugural 'Premier Boxing Champions' card.
Porter is advised by boxing power broker Al Haymon who has recently closed television deals with NBC and Spike TV and is close to closing a deal with ESPN. With the abundance of television dates, Haymon's fighters have been told they will have the option of being very active.
The elder Porter said that is very attractive to them.
"It his very important. (Al) and I get together every year. We got together in November to plan out the next year and that was the first thing he said - you are getting four fights - we are looking at four fights this year and if we don't get four, we are looking at three big ones. I will take three big fights or four very good fights. This is a good fight. Roberto Garcia is a very tough fighter," Kenny told BoxingScene.com.
