Berto vs Porter: Live streaming results and round by round coverage

Andre Berto and Shawn Porter headline in a pivotal welterweight bout tonight on SHO.

Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME

Tonight at 9:30 pm ET on Showtime, we’ll see big fights in two divisions, with a welterweight eliminator main event, and a junior middleweight title fight featured on the broadcast.

In the main event, Andre Berto (31-4, 24 KO) and Shawn Porter (26-2-1, 16 KO) meet in a 12-round WBC welterweight title eliminator, with the winner in line for a shot at Keith "One Time" Thurman. Berto, 33, hasn’t fought in just about a year, since beating Victor Ortiz in a disappointing rematch. Porter, 29, has been out of action since last June, when he lost a hard-fought decision against Thurman.

In the co-feature, Jermell Charlo (28-0, 13 KO) will defend his WBC junior middleweight title against mandatory challenger Charles Hatley (26-1-1, 18 KO) in another 12-round bout. Hatley hasn’t fought since late 2015, when he beat Anthony Mundine, while Charlo was last seen 11 months ago, when he rallied to stop John Jackson and win the then-vacant belt.

On Showtime Extreme at 7:30 pm ET, we’ll see Amanda Serrano (31-1-1, 23 KO) go for history against Dahiana Santana (35-8, 14 KO). If Serrano wins and gains the vacant WBO bantamweight title, she’ll be the first five-division champion from Puerto Rico in boxing history. The title is not on the line for Santana, who missed weight.

Wil Esco will be on the round-by-round call tonight. Join us!
