Porter-Granados & More Added to Stacked Wilder-Ortiz Card

The year of our L-rd two thousand-seventeen hath seen our boxing L-rd be so very good to we pugilist fans, indeed. And he shall do-so to the very end, when on November the 4th, we are given a cat's pajamas of a Brooklyn Barclays Center fight-card courtesy of Premier Boxing Champions. And the year ain't even done then, gentlepersons. Not even for now to mention December's Rigo-Loma bout which I understand the excitement over, but not fully really. 

Ah, but 11/4. The Wilder-Ortiz under-card. It was announced just a tick-ago that "Showtime" Shawn Porter (27-2-1, 17KO), one of the top welterweights and tougher-outs around to-day, aims to secure another title shot whenst he 'butts heads' with one Adrian Granados (18-5-2, 12KO). Granados is coming off a punch-for-punch barn-burner 'gainst perennial schmuck Adrien Broner -- and coming up just short via split-decision in Broner's Cincinnati hometown. I got Porter here in a late-round stoppage.
But wait there's more:
Undefeated Contender, former kick-boxer and current I'd imagine Russian, Sergey Lipinets (12-0, 10 KOs) shall face Akihiro Kondo (29-6-1, 16 KO) who'll be making his US debut. This being for the vacant IBF Junior Welterweight World Title. An American debut. An undefeated stud... I call nigh feces shoot with a scant less scat getting on a prevailing Lipinets.

And that's not all:
Former heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21KO) will face former belt-challenging Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16KO). Rather curiously, given the combined knock-out tally, I see this going the pre-set 10-round distance. Unfortunately my crystal ball, she fogs up over whom's hand doth gets raised. 

Lo, lettuce not forget the already but vaguely mentioned main-event attraction. All the marbles or  at least the WBC plus-size pug strap will be on the line whenst Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37KO)  defends against the possibly 78 year-old Luis Ortiz (27-0, 23KOs) ... actually, I'll tells ya how the Cuban challenger shall dethrone the Tuscaloosan champ as fight-night looms nigher and in another, separate posting... or will he? ... Just kidding, he will. Look for that to publish soon.
