In a very captivating Showtime Boxing main event, Shawn Porter (29-2-1, 17 KOs) captured the vacant WBC welterweight title with a closely contested unanimous decision over Danny Garcia (34-2, 20 KOs) in front of more than 13,000 fans at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The three scorecards read 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113 for “Showtime” Shawn, but the judges only unanimously agreed on four of the rounds. In the aftermath, Porter had an in-ring square off with IBF champion Errol Spence Jr (24-0, 21 KOs), as fans can start to salivate at the possibility of a unification bout between these two.
