Shawn Porter UD 10 Russell Jordan
Junior middleweight prospect Shawn Porter (13-0, 10 KO) survived his first real gut check, winning a ten-round unanimous decision against Russell Jordan (15-7, 10 KO) in Cleveland, Ohio.
The tall and awkward southpaw troubled Porter who eventually turned up the heat in the later rounds to earn the decision. Porter looked a small junior middleweight, which might cause some difficulties as he steps up the ranks.
Jordan was harshly penalised for spitting out his mouthpiece, but despite having the odds stacked against him, provided a stern test for Porter. So often in these type of fights, you get one shutout card. And we got it here. A shutout 100-89 for Porter followed by two more accurate 97-92.
