Supreme Athlete Shawn Porter set a new personal best for punching during a dominant decision win Saturday.

The American welterweight does not give anyone an easy fight, because in each round he is a perseverer of what he is determined to change in ongoing wars.

German Sebastian Formella found that on the hard road when Porter was released in his 35th pro bout at the Premier Boxing Champions event broadcast from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.

Compubox data sent to Insider credits Porter with new personal records for jabs, power punches, and total punches landed after the 32-year-old won his 31st fight (17 knockouts) with a running 120-108 (x3) decision win on the judges ‘scorecards.

Porter threw 785 shots in the 12-round, landing more than twice as many punches (304) as Formella (148) for a 38.7% accuracy rate.

Many of Porter’s punches were powerful, Compubox said, with 216 important shots landing from 568 shots (38% accuracy).

But it wasn’t just his commitment in the fighting game that was impressive. Porter showed enormous punch variation with overhand rights introduced by the jab, hook shots, capital letters, and just an unrelenting series of combinations.

There was no delay for Formella, regardless of whether he was in the middle of the ring or against the knees:

Slow motion movies show how painful sharing the ring with Porter can be:

Porter grabbed the low-lying, lightly-regarded WBC silver welterweight title with the win, but, more importantly, becomes the required challenger for the IBF Championship.

America did not defeat 30-year-old Errol Spence Jr. is the current IBF champion in the division, defending his title against Danny Garcia in November.

Spence has already beaten Porter once, which was not an easy feat, and so should he defeat Garcia later in the year, he will have to deal with it once in a mandatory title defense.

For Porter, it does not seem to matter who the fight of Spence vs. Garcia wins because he delivered a message to both of ringside after his record-setting personal performance Saturday.

“I’m still here,” he said.
