According to sources close to USA today, Keith Thurman and Shawn Porter have finally agreed to a match to take place on either March 5th or March 12th and televised on CBS. If true, it finally puts an end to months of speculation and negotiation between the two camps. Thurman, at 26-0, 22 KO’s, is the WBA champion and coming off dominant victories over Robert Guerrero and Luis Collazo in 2015. Former IBF Welterweight champion Porter, at 26-1-1, 16 KOs, is coming off a victory over the mercurial Adrien Broner this past June.

This is a great matchup between two rising stars and an exciting breath of fresh air in the aftermath of the dominant, but boring, reign of Floyd Mayweather JR at Welterweight. Best of all, it’s on free TV! Which of these young lions will prevail? Stay tuned and let’s hope the fight actually comes off!
