MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Kenny Porter, father and trainer of Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16KOs), advised BoxingScene.com that his son's manager/adviser Al Haymon was the person who nixed the rehydration clause for Saturday's fight with Adrien Broner (30-1,22KOs).

The fight had a catch-weight clause in place for 144-pounds, which Broner requested. Originally there was a rehydration clause for a second-weighin on Saturday morning, where Porter would be allowed to weigh more than ten pounds above the contract limit.

Kenny said they finally received the contract for the fight, and there was no rehydration clause in the language - but he knew that was coming ahead of time because Haymon called him.

"Al called me and told me not to worry about that [the rehydration clause]. He said 'don't listen to what nobody says because you heard it from me,"' Kenny told BoxingScene.com.

Shawn, who says the last time he weighed 144 was at 14-years-old, expects to only come up by ten pounds or so by fight night.

"I was surprised that I feel so strong, and I feel good, because I haven't made 144-pounds in so long," Shawn said.

Neither fighter had any problems making weight. Broner stepped on to the scale and came in at 143.5-pounds, while Shawn Porter (25-1-1, 16KOs) was half a pound more at 144-pounds.

The fight will headline the next edition of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC on NBC) on Saturday night.
