Is this Shawn trying to get a mandatory shot soon with the WBO? Um, probably not. More likely he just wanted a tune up fight after being out for about a year. I won't kill Shawn too much, he's fought top level competition for a while...But the fight itself? No bueno. Hopefully Traux and Angulo can make it a war and save the card.

Not the most intriguing of matchups but a solid enough fight.

Solid fight during pandemic. So Shawn fights top 30 guy by boxrec even for tune-up. Impressed. Shawn`s tune-ups are better than some title fights, lol.

Title fight!!! For the great...........IBO belt!!!! IBO is better than the WBA, you don't know what champ level you're gonna get...interim? Regular? Semi regular interim? Alternate semi interim?

Formella is fresh coming off a win over Mbenge who's a good fighter himself, even Shawn's 'tune-ups' are respectable. Top man. Yeah, I don't hate it. Formella is a top European level fighter and undefeated. Good fight for Shawn right now.

Who tf is that? I mean the guy who tweeted it? Anyway Shawn Porter deserves an easy fight, he’s proven over and over he’ll fight anybody at 147. He’s fought more top level guys from the current 147 crop than any other welter. A man who apparently has some sources!

Porter can afford 1 fairly easy fight he has fought nothing but top tier fighters for a few years now Yea, since Crawford isnt going to fight him, he's kinda out a dance partner. Give the man a paycheck, he's staying active

Two Fox cards in August. Wonder if Fox will do 2 per month since they're short some other sports?

Is this person a reliable source? Coulda sworn I seen him hatin' on twitter before. Well, Coppinger reported the same thing...like an half hour later. So there's two people reporting this.
