The visitor from Germany brings a 22-0 (10) record, but...reading through @CST80's RBR of his last fight it sounds like he got a gift over Nicaraguan mediocrity Roberto de Jesús "Dinamita" Arriaza Hernandez. Woof, that's a damning testimonial. If people think you're going to get hided by Tony DeMarco.. don't get in with Shawn Porter.

Tko victory for porter inside 5 , fornella is not even european level. this is a mismatch of the highest order
While I'm not a fan at all of his style, he's not that bad. He pretty much schooled Mbenge, who's a heavy handed undefeated African coming off of destroying Miguel Vasquez and Diego Chaves. And I was a little harsh on him against Arriaza, while Arriaza might not be great, he does bring solid intelligent aggression against featherfisted fighters and that loss against Kavaliauskas was a little on the controversial side IMO, it was a legit rabbit punch he was trying to milk, he should have been given some time to recover. So Arriaza is better than advertised and he is quite heavy handed, and Formella handed him with relative ease, while fighting like a ***** spending way too much time on the back foot. He's a pretty solid European level Welterweight. Regardless, he's not anywhere close to being on Shawn Porter's level, that being said, I think Formella could beat a Jamal James on a good day.
I still feel like they should do a last minute reshuffling of this card, and give us: Shawn Porter vs. Nathaniel Gallimore (which sounds fun as hell, to be honest...with Porter's edge in class balanced out by the size of Gallimore, who is no slouch himself and just a smidgen below sharing that world class tier) Sebastian Formella vs. Sebastian Fundora in a "somebody's unbeaten Sebastian F. status has got to go" challenge, with the German's experience advantage pitted against the southpaw's TEN INCHES OF HEIGHT, despite only being a division apart (with even that only nominally and of recent vintage; most of Formella's contests have actually been at junior or full middle, with only the last three below the welter limit) Those are both WAY more compelling than what PBC has planned, with the opponents swapped around.
