"I feel that all the experience that I had in the amateurs has been great for me, and has made me where I am as a pro and all the experience that I've had now as a pro has got me to the point that I'm at right now where I just feel very comfortable. I feel very excited about my matches, I'm excited to do camp and I'm excited about life. I think, right now, yes, I am in my prime," stated IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter, who talked about his upcoming title defense against undefeated mandatory challenger Kell Brook. Porter recently answered a number of questions for members of the media during a conference call to promote the upcoming August 16 showdown.
"No pressure at all. You look at my record, I'm undefeated against undefeated fighters, so I'm going to keep that going. I do look forward to staying undefeated, and carrying my belt out of that ring August 16," he continued. "From boxing the who's who in amateurs, the boxing tough competitors here in the pros to sparring Manny Pacquiao, I think everything that I've done speaks for itself. I've been in the ring with great champions and the better opposition so I do think that they give me the upper hand in the fight August 16."
