LAS VEGAS, NEV. - The Shawn Porter vs. Julio Diaz II fight card on Thursday, Sept. 12 at MGM Grand Las Vegas' Premier Ballroom just keeps getting bigger and better as Mayweather Promotions and Golden Boy Promotions have added hot super welterweight prospect Jermall Charlo, 2012 United States Olympian Errol Spence and Oscar De La Hoya's cousin Diego de la Hoya to the card. The action-packed event will be broadcast live on FOX Sports 2/FOX Deportes.

Also in action will be promising lightweight Robert Easter Jr. and two other members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic team Terrell Gausha and Dominic Breazeale.

"This is going to be a spectacular card and a great lead in to Saturday night's fight," said CEO of Mayweather Promotions Leonard Ellerbe. "This is the biggest week in recent boxing history and this fight makes it even more impressive." [Click Here To Read More]

Julio clearly stayed at 135 too long. The move up in weight has rejuvenated his career.

That said. I think Porter wins a UD. But cheering for Diaz.

Same old story with some intrigue. Porter the boxer, but not as fast as some and not a huge puncher. Julio, the bull, but time is not on his side, and his punch isn't what he's known for either. Sounds like an entertaining 10 rounds
