      • Lol, yes I do. At welterweight since he fought Horn from the first three rounds.. then his other Welterweight opponents. I was one of the first ones to say that Crawford was pound 4 pound.. because I like his style and the way he thinks in the ring. But his opponents at Welterweight didn’t give me the full scoop about his level at Welterweight. Imo.. I think that Porter will fill in those gaps for me in many ways.

    • It sounds like your a Errol Spence fan! Lol! Bud has ALWAYS answered any bell that rang! He is totally the best pound for pound that’sout there and that’s why Spence refuses to fight Bud! After this fight then we are going to Canelo

      • I’m not biased. I like Errol’s heart in the ring.. I don’t think he has many skills or at least haven’t seen much of it. He just gets in there and his size and power does most of the work. Style wise.. this fight will show me certain things about Crawford that i haven’t seen before. Porter has the ability to force that out of him.

  • This division is still wide open. Thurman was the man and got surgery. Then somehow Spence leapfroged him in rankings which is BS unless you agree Usyk is the best at HW because it’s almost exactly the same scenario. Paq beat Thurman then lost to Ugas. Crawford destroyed Horn who despite getting a bad Decision against Paq(before Thurman fight), did fight somewhat competitive. Spence came in this time fighting a couple over the hill guys and despite the BS, fought a broken Brook. His best win against little fat Mikey who is terrible at 147 and past his prime, Porter was good win too but he’s been beaten. Based on this Ugas should be considered number 1. Spence 2. Crawford 3. A better performance against Porter than Spence should consider them at least tied.
    That aside I expect Crawford inside 7. Based on his ability to back up and throw punches. And switching hands. I feel this is a bad matchup for Porter.

    • I’m just excited to have a good fight to watch. It’s difficult being a Boxing fan

  • I hope Porter’s trainers got him ready for dealing with fighters at moving angles and counters. Crawford will have target practice with such strategy since Porter moves straight in and smothers himself on the inside. Crawford UD.

  • First things, first. Crawford has to go through Shawn to get to Errol Spence. Let’s GO CRAWFORD. TKO 7th round.

  • With Porter I always worry about accidental head clashes. Crawford should be able to control the space.

  • Porter for the win and hoping a kayo. Nice hole in Bud defense when exchanging with his back against the ropes.
