Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles - In a welterweight eliminator, two-time world champion Shawn Porter (31-3-1, 17 KOs) won a dominant twelve round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Sebastian Formella (22-1, 10 KOs). All three judges saw it 120-108. (photos by Sean Michael Ham)

The bout was the first for Porter since suffering a close decision loss to WBC, IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence last year.

The first round was a boxing match for the most part. In the second, Porter started with his smother style and pushing Formella against the ropes.

Porter began to wear Formella down as the fight played out. He was landing more often and pushing Formella around. In the sixth, Formella was being manhandled and beaten up with punches.

It was one way traffic until the end of the fight, with Porter dominating the action and walking through anything Formella landed.
