An hour or so before Bernard Hopkins attempts to become the oldest fighter in boxing history to win a title unification match, Shawn Porter and Paul Malignaggi do battle with plenty at stake.
The pair of welterweights serve as the SHOWTIME-televised co-feature, live from Washington D.C. Porter makes the first defense of the alphabet title he acquired in emphatic fashion, dominating Devon Alexander in their 12-round bout last December.
On that same card, Malignaggi remained relevant in the welterweight division with a 12-round win over Zab Judah in their all-Brooklyn matchup.
Both fighters are angling for a lucrative showdown with reigning pound-for-pound and lineal welterweight king Floyd Mayweather. It’s a lengthy line, so more than a win but a spectacular performance is in order for the victor to garner any consideration.
