Shawn Porter: "Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts"

WBC welterweight champion "Showtime" Shawn Porter will headline a pay-per-view show in a highly anticipated welterweight title unification against IBF champion Errol Spence Jr. The show goes down on September 28th at Los Angeles' Staples Center. Porter hosted a media workout in Las Vegas Wednesday and here is what he had to say from Barry's Boxing Gym in Las Vegas:
 
SHAWN PORTER
 
"Shawn Porter is going to leave the ring with two belts. I'm going to hit him. I'm going to hit him hard and I'm going to do things you've never seen anyone do against Errol Spence.
 
"I'm expecting there to be adversity for Errol. There's going to be a moment where he realizes he's losing this fight. He has to be solid psychologically. I don't know if he's going to be in the ring. I believe I have the advantage there and that I know how to get into his head.
 
"I think Errol's confidence is natural like mine. But I think that he's fed his confidence to the point where some arrogance has come out. I think he's going to show that in the fight early on. He's going to have to adjust. Once he recognizes that, I expect the arrogance to go out the window and that he'll have to figure it out.
 
"I've never seen Errol go through any adversity in the ring. I don't think anyone has been able to challenge him the way I can challenge him. I'm really looking forward to it.
 
"There's a combination that comes from Shawn Porter that you can't get anywhere else. It's the speed, power, agility and intelligence. You have to make a lot of adjustments on the fly and be ready. I'm hard to prepare for. Spence probably has one or two things that he's expecting, but it's not going to go that way.
 
"I've been in Errol's position before and I know what it's like to think that all I had to do was show up and be me. I've gotten to a point where I realize now that I have to do more.
 
"I don't think there's too much to figure out with Errol. The game plan is to make him make the adjustments. Things don't always go to plan, but I still think I know what he wants to do in there. He's not going to give you a lot to adjust to, but what he does do, he's supreme and he's great at.
 
"Southpaws always bring the best out of me. I'm young again. You're going to see the best Shawn Porter.
 
"I think Errol has a lot more to lose in this fight. He's never had to deal with a loss, and most people aren't expecting him to lose. He's in the perfect position being considered a top welterweight. But from my perspective, I just have absolutely no intention on losing."
