This is the first time Crawford has stepped up since beating Horn.
Porter in 12!
Wow Terrence finally having a step up fight 20 years into his career. What a disgraceful MF he is.
Moses, TC was a Title Holder at 135 and collected all of the titles at 140. To suggest he had not stepped up in 20 years shows a level of disrespect that is unforgivable. Not only is it disrespectful to Crawford (who has been shamelessly avoided at 147), but it is disrespectful to all of his victims including many who were title holders themselves.
Porter is as solid an opponent as Crawford has faced at Welterweight to date and should be celebrated for his willingness to actually fight the fights, but don’t forget it took two to make the fight. And I have to wonder what Crawford haters will say after he beats Porter convincingly. I’m guessing you’ll still hate, but here’s hoping you can appreciate a talent while he’s still near his prime. Crawford by 10th round TKO. Maybe Porter’s father will have to save him from himself between rounds.
Porter always brings it. I am not rooting for anyone here, but I would like to see him get the W. I’ll be watching it for free on my Fire Stick (again).
Haha you know it!!!!!!!
Crawford’s lateral movement and angles will frustrate Porter most of the fight. Porter seems to fight better coming straight in and has a bad habit of smothering himself with his punches. Crawford will rack up points all by moving and catching Porter when he is flat-footed. Crawford UD. Porter relies way too much on his athleticism rather than technique and often times gets him behind in a fight. This will be one of those cases.
??? What??? Huh??? Really please shut the fuck up!
Everyone has an opinion. Feel free to chime in your fight forecast with common sense.
You are obviously off your meds again.
Scooby I agree watch I’am telling y’all he’s going to beat Porter so bad PBC fighter will avoid him Crawford is the real deal like Scooby said Terrance is a fighter who is a switch hitter watch fightnews fans Crawford will fight somebody who’s not top 10 after he get done with Porter because the top 10 guys Will make excuses Crawford 11 round TKO
So I have to subscribe to ESPN Plus and pay that subscription then pay 75 dollars for this fight? I’ll wait for the highlights thanks tho!
forget the ppv not a good undercard porter will need a lot of power punches to beat crawford i see crawford trying for the ko in the late rounds if he thinks he is behind on the scorecards
It’s a good thing most here aren’t in the odds-making business.
I’ll be hoping for a Porter win. He’s from Cleveland like me & doesn’t forget his roots. Besides, he’s a truly good guy & deserves an upset win.
I thought Porter was from Akron, south of Cleveland?
From BoxRec:
– Birth place: Akron, Ohio, USA
You’re right, Porter is from Akron, but he fought in the Cleveland Golden Gloves tournament, as did I.
This fight is going to surprise a lot of people, I’m telling you. The styles mesh perfectly. Porter will make things extremely difficult for Crawford, but I think Bud will gut it out. This might be a fight of the year type scrap.. Let’s all enjoy..
Porter is very tough, has a chin and has decent power but Crawford has a very good skillset and if Ugas can box against Porter like he did then I am sure Crawford can.
WOW ! To watch this fight I will have to pay forever.
Poor marketing strategy. ( some sarcasm)
