Last noche ESPN twin-bill saw both undefeated NABO strap holders retaining its minor league strap via unanimous decision -- popular local Fernando Guerrero (20-0, 16 KOs) in the main bout and Shawn Porter (17-0, 13 KOs) in the co-feature.

The middleweight affair proved more a Guerrero showcase as the southpaw slinger tossed a near shutout on one card 100-90, and 99-91 on the other two -- my unofficial agreed to Guerrero 100-90 in points and 10-0 under round by round method.

The transplanted Dominican from Salisbury, MD displayed too much speed for his opponent Derrick Findley who arrived with decent resume of 17-4-1, 11 KOs, not to mention a laughable sobriquet of  “Superman” -- on this night, “stuporman” better described his safety first style.

Guerrero enjoying the port side advantage quickly took control with rapid-fire combinations that had  "superman" on the defensive.

Post Scripts: Guerrero (21-0, 16s) ~ age 24 - wears the  prospect label to the letter. Mixes the combinations with assorted flurries going to both body and head. Still, before upgrading to contender levels, is still in need of discipline. Has the tools and equipment but not the banger the 16 stoppages in a now 21 kept appointments imply. Circle the name.

                     Findley (17-5-1, 11 KOs) ~ age 26 - arrived on loss to Russian southpaw, undefeated Matt Korobov, maybe brain trust should have passed on this Guerrero misadventure.

The Porter-Anges Adjaho NABF welterweight affair played to a similar script as the main event, other than Adjaho’s winning round four to spare the humility of being blanked.

Official numbers went Porter 99-91, 99-1, 97-3 -- my unofficial saw it Porter 99-91 in points and 9-1 under round by round method.

NABF strap or not, Porter more equipped for the welterweight  minor league level fighters. Last noche displayed super-quick hands that arrived in combination form, along with good defense.

Problem is, the opponent arrived on three bout losing streak -- and at age 34 with a now job application at 17-5, 9 KOs played a survival role and never had a prayer.

Shawn Porter (18-0, 13 KOs) ~ age 23 - nice club fighter - could well grab a couple other straps to go with the NABF belt - still, a peek at the welterweight picture at the major league level carries names Berto, Souleymane M’Baye, to name just a few.
