WBO welterweight world champion Terence “Bud” Crawford of Omaha, Nebraska will defend his title against two-time champion “Showtime” Shawn Porter of Akron, Ohio on Saturday, November 20 at Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay. The two launched the pre-fight build-up at a press conference Saturday morning at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Here is what Crawford and Porter had to say.

Porter is not a classy fighter he has an ugly style. He bulls himself inside like a football player no class what soever. Crawford will stop him.
Yes, I think Crawford’s style of moving and countering with lateral movement will totally offset Porter’s arsenal. Porter is rather one-dimensional and smothers himself on the inside since he struggles on the outside to fight. Crawford will frustrate him to no end. Porter is all about athleticism to make up for his limited skills inside his arsenal of weapons.
