The WBA elevated Yordenis Ugas to “super” champion recently, but Shawn Porter still feels Ugas needs to legitimize himself as a welterweight champ. If Ugas attempts to do that against Errol Spence Jr., Porter predicted during a recent appearance on “The Ak & Barak Show” that it won’t go well for the Cuban belt-holder. Ugas (26-4, 12 KOs), who almost upset Porter in March 2019, could become the next opponent for Spence (27-0, 21 KOs) because that fight would grant the IBF/WBC welterweight champ an opportunity to add another title to his collection.
Former Adrien Broner conqueror Shawn Porter believes that his onetime adversary’s career is not broken beyond repair. Broner (34-4-1, 24 KOs, 1 NC) came off a two-year hiatus to score an underwhelming unanimous decision win over Javanie Santiago (14-1-1, 10 KOs) in a fight that some argued could’ve been edged the other way.

Caleb Plant impressed Shawn Porter on Saturday night. Porter, an analyst for FOX, watched from ringside as Plant dominated mandatory challenger Caleb Truax on his way to a shutout victory on all three scorecards at Shrine Auditorium & Expo Hall in Los Angeles. The former IBF/WBC welterweight champion noticed areas in which Plant must improve, however, if the unbeaten IBF super middleweight champion is to have a legitimate shot at beating Canelo Alvarez.
