Amateur career

He compiled an astounding amateur record of 276-14.[6] In 2007 he won the World Golden Gloves Championship but at the PanAm Games Shawn was knocked out in the second round by Cuban Emilio Correa.[7] Though he boasts amateur victories[8] over current pro prospects Daniel Jacobs, Demetrius Andrade, Edwin Rodriguez, Shawn Estrada, and Jonathan Nelson, he came up just short in qualifying for the 2008 U.S. Olympics team.[9]

Pro career

Porter is trained by Freddie Roach and his father Kenny Porter at the Wild Card Gym.[10]

Shawn won his first Championship belt, the Interim WBO NABO Light Middleweight title against Russell Jordan on ESPN's Friday Night Fights.[11][12] On April 16, 2010 he knocked out veteran Raul Pinzon in just one round.[13]

Move to Welterweight

In July 2010, Porter beat Ray Robinson in his first fight at Welterweight.[14]

Porter's last fight was on October 15, 2010 against Hector Munoz. Porter won the fight by ninth round TKO to win the NABF Welterweight title.
