Ever since relocating his training base to Las Vegas earlier this year, welterweight contender Shawn Porter has continued to improve as fighter.

His two performances in 2013, a whitewash unanimous decision over Canada’s Phil Lo Greco in May and a redemption victory over Julio Diaz in a hotly-contested rematch in September, have shown us the best of the Akron, Ohio native.

Porter is presently embedded in camp inside of the Mayweather Boxing Club at the moment, as he continues to grind towards his Dec. 7 clash on Showtime against IBF champion Devon Alexander.

As he heads into his Nov. 23 showdown with Brandon Rios, Manny Pacquiao has his share of doubters.

After all, it was this past December when the Filipino icon was knocked out cold by a counter right hand from his rival Juan Manuel Marquez in the sixth round of their fourth encounter.

That loss has added a certain kind of intrigue to the Rios clash and one of Pacquiao’s former sparring partners, welterweight contender Shawn Porter, recently shared his thoughts on the big fight.

“I think a lot of people may be questioning his abilities now,” Porter stated recently. “Aside from everything he’s got going on in the Philippines and his last experience, I think he’s going to be able to bring the Manny Pacquiao that we’ve seen in the past to this fight with Brandon Rios.”
