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.

And while the work has thus far been hard, there are some big moves happening that will surely add to the intensity of the camp.

Despite the contrasting styles of each man, the one general consensus amongst boxing insiders is that the Nov. 23 Manny Pacquiao vs. Brandon Rios match is going to be an entertaining affair.

Taking place from the Venetian Resort in Macau, China on HBO pay per view, the boxing world will see first-hand how Pacquiao’s unorthodox, left-handed attack matches up with the aggressive style that Rios possesses.

While odds makers have Pacquiao a noticeable favorite heading into the match, former two-time Pacquiao foe Marco Antonio Barrera envisions a difficult task ahead for each guy.
