    Hopkins vs Shumenov, Porter vs Malignaggi Discussion Thread. April 19th.

    Bernard Hopkins (IBF Champion) vs Beibet Shumenov (WBA Champion) at Light-Heavyweight in a historical unification bout.

    Shawn Porter (IBF Champion) vs Paulie Malignaggi in a Welterweight World Title bout.

    Hopkins vs Shumenov:

    PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Future Hall of Famer and IBF Light Heavyweight World Champion Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins worked out in front of a throng of reporters Thursday at DSG Boxing Gym in Philadelphia as he winds down preparation for his Saturday, April 19, World Championship Unification against Beibut Shumenov. Hopkins, the IBF titleholder, and Shumenov, the WBA Super Champion, will square off in the main event of a SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING world championship tripleheader at the DC Armory in Washington, D.C., live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET/PT (delayed on the West Coast), immediately following the premiere of Episode 1 of ALL ACCESS: Mayweather vs. Maidana.

    If you’re waiting for Beibut Shumenov to reveal the secret of how he plans to beat Bernard Hopkins on April 19, you stand a better chance of passing out holding your breath while waiting on that answer. The Kazakh boxer, now living in and training out of Las Vegas, is all business ahead of his upcoming light heavyweight title unification bout. So much that he refuses to tip his hand or give Hopkins (54-6-2, 32KO) – the absolute boxing master when it comes to pre-fight mind games – any additional ammunition.





    Porter vs Malignaggi:

    Luis Sandoval stops by the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas and catches up with undefeated IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter to discuss his Showtime televised defense against former two-division champ Paulie Malignaggi on April 19th. Porter goes over his training plans, what he needs to do strategically in the fight to defeat Malignaggi and more.

    Paulie Malignaggi (33-5, 7KOs), a former two-division champion, is looking for redemption when he faces undefeated IBF welterweight beltholder Shawn Porter (23-0-1, 14 KOs) on April 19th as part of the Bernard Hopkins-Beibut Shumenov undercard at Washington’s D.C. Armory. Malignaggi felt he was robbed of his WBA welterweight title last June at the Barclays Center, when Adrien Broner won a close split decision to snatch away the belt. Broner's reign was short-lived, as he lost the strap to Marcos Maidana last December. He sees the opportunity against Porter, who he considers to be a better fighter than Broner, as the perfect opportunity to make things right.

                Porter's gonna beat Paulie. Hoping to get some good odds on that one. -175 or better and I'm jumping.

                Parlay Porter with Hopkins. Return better than even money.
