Shawn Porter will face Keith Thurman on Saturday night for Thurman's WBA welterweight title on CBS. For Porter, it's a chance to earn his second world title in the welterweight division -- he formerly held the IBF welterweight title -- and re-assert himself as one of the best at 147 pounds.

Porter was a rising star in the division and won the IBF title in 2013, defending it successfully twice before losing it by majority decision to Kell Brook in 2014, who still retains the belt.
