Porter could not be more well aware of what future boxing options might bring, then now, which makes his title defense against the dangerous Ugas not just a must-win from the standpoint of keeping his WBC belt, but to secure future paydays. Porter will begin his second reign as welterweight champion after brilliantly outpointing Danny Garcia in September to claim a vacant title. He also returns to the same place where he once lost his IBF title to Kell Brook in 2014 when he will face Ugas at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California (formerly Stub Hub Center), in a primetime showcase on Fox at 8 p.m. ET. Porter cannot look past Ugas for now. It will be a tough fight but UPPERCUT predicts Porter will pull out the win, yet we feel it’s going to be closer then Porter thinks. With a win he can then go on to face bigger name fighters like Keith Thurman, Errol Spence Jr., or Manny Pacquiao. Those are all in the card, if Porter can get past Ugas. All big fights that people want to see,” Porter said. “If this fight goes the way we want it to go, those guys are the goal for the next fight.”
