Former champion Andre Berto (30-3, 23KOs) is a few short weeks away from the biggest fight of his professional career.

The fight will headline a Showtime Pay-Per-View event. Berto is a very big underdog in the fight. Nearly everyone is expecting Mayweather to win easily.

Kenny Porter, father and trainer of 'Showtime' Shawn Porter (26-1-1, 16KOs), says they are hoping to end off the year with a big fight against WBA 'regular' welterweight champion Keith 'One Time' Thurman (26-0, 22KOs). Both fighters are in search of a big fall opportunity. Porter secured a big win in June, when he won a twelve round unanimous decision over former three division champion Adrien Broner.

Leo "El Terremoto" Santa Cruz (30-0-1, 17 KOs) will be looking to close the show when he finally faces his Los Angeles rival Abner Mares (29-1-1, 15 KOs) on Saturday, August 29th in the Premier Boxing Champions on ESPN main event from the Staples Center in LA. The fight has been building for a very long time. Mares' stunning knockout loss to Jhonny Gonzalez in 2013 pushed the fight back. Mares has won his last three and hopes to get a win over Santa Cruz to regain some of the footing he lost with the Gonzalez loss.

Lucas Matthysse (37-3, 34KOs) does not rule out the possibility of heading up to the welterweight limit in 2016 to continue his hunt for a rematch with Danny Garcia (31-0, 18KOs). Matthysse is still hungry to avenge his twelve round decision loss to Garcia in September of 2014 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Saul Alvarez.

•Aug 9, 2015

WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) was very impressed by Andre Berto's last performance. Berto (30-3, 23KOs) stopped Josesito Lopez in the sixth round of their March fight in a Premier Boxing Champions on Spike TV card from Ontario, California. What impressed Mayweather was Berto's ability to come from behind to win. Lopez was winning the fight on two scorecards at the time of the stoppage. He was up 48-47 and 50-45 on two cards, with Berto up 48-47 on the third.

•Aug 9, 2015

Former WBC/IBF welterweight champion Andre Berto (30-3, 23KOs) is surprised with the heavy criticism over being selected as the final career opponent for Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Fans were expecting either Amir Khan or Keith Thurman, but Berto was largely unexpected. Although Mayweather mentioned him as a frontrunner in June, the statement was widely assumed as a mirage to disguise the name of the actual opponent.
