Junior middleweight Shawn Porter, whose intense sparring prepared Manny Pacquiao for his 12th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14, scored a fourth-round knockout against Jerome Ellis on Saturday night at Fitzgerald's Casino & Hotel, Tunica, Miss.

Known for his speed, power and Cotto-like left hook, the 22-year-old Porter scored his ninth career knockout to improve to 11-0.

The stoppage was the fourth straight for Porter, whose previous three KOs had come in the first round. Porter's 154-pound bout with Ellis was scheduled for eight rounds.

The 31-year-old Ellis slipped to 12-10-2, with 10 knockouts. Ellis, who was stopped for only the second time in his career, was coming off of an eighth-round, split-decision victory over Jamaal Davis in May.
