Welterweights Terence “Bud” Crawford and “Showtime” Shawn Porter kept it pretty low key at their final press conference Wednesday.
Terence Crawford: I’m just going to say that I do a lot of things better than Shawn. I’m going to show him come Saturday. Once we signed that contract, the switch was already flipped and I can’t wait to go out there Saturday to display my talent and look good doing it…until then, right now I’m just chilling, playing Call of Duty in the room by myself all day. I’ve been in the room all day isolating.”
Shawn Porter: “I don’t think there’s too much that I can say to Bud that’s going to change the way he thinks about himself and the outcome of this fight. He can’t look at me and say, ‘I’m going to beat your ass’ and I’m going to believe that, and he knows that, and he won’t dare to do it…I’m relaxing, I’m drinking water and just biding my time.”
It looks like Porter is wearing a feedbag on his face, while both fighters are touching fists like sissies instead of shaking hands like men. *Sigh*
Shawn Porter, is not an elite boxer. Ugas, gave him a
boxing lesson.
Hopefully, this will be a good scrap.
Why does this fight feel unexciting? It’s like I should be excited for this fight, and for some reason, it doesn’t do much for me.
Maybe because the one fight we want at the weight isn’t happening
The CALMEST trash talk I’ve ever heard.
Porter is the best fighter Bud has faced in terms of ability and skill. I think 2 of his 3 losses were razor close. That said, Porter aint gonna win. He’s not as skilled as Bud. He’s too good to get knocked out and too good to be totally dominated but not good enough to threaten winning or even make it close. Styles make fights and this particular match up of styles has distance and redundant written all over it. Bud ud 12. The sad thing is after Bud wins people still won’t give him respect. They’ll point to Porters previous losses and say Bud should’ve won.
Hey Phil your right on Bro
Ahh bud knocked out brook whom beat porter.
If you let me call the fight I give it to Bud Crawford 10 rounds Shawn Porter yes he’s a great fighter he has a lot of talent she got to look at it it’s been beat he’s been put on a camp for my boy Crawford and she’s a powerful pound I think he’ll take it until around just my opinion as a boxer hey we’ll see what time come it be a great fight
I love Shawn and think Bud is great but am still struggling with whether or not I should be spending seventy bucks (not including tax) for this PPV. It seems a bit too steep of a price-point IMO but I’m thinking about it. Fifty bucks it’d be a no-brainer. But seventy? Maybe if Bud were fighting Victor Ortiz or Boots Ennis as there’s some buzz there. As Phil stated, this fight against Porter is one Bud should win without it being close. But I could be underestimating Shawn as he may have one last great fight in him and make it really exciting much the way he did against Spence.
Spend $35 for the Amazon Fire Stick and you never have to pay for a PPV event ever again.
So if I have a firestick what app do i use to watch ppv fights?
These two aren’t exactly creating a buzz.
Hopefully its a good fight
Crawford more likely to get brain damage by playing mindless video games than he is in this fight.
Crawford will look awkward for the first 4 rounds. Once he figures Porter out, it might just turn into a fight of the year candidate. I don’t see Bud evading all of the bum rushing Porter does.
Bud Crawford by UD, and making a statement doing so, creating a further demand for the long awaited Crawford/Spence jr scrap.
This fight WILL be better then any of you think. Trust me
I can see Shawn doing the dirty work, make it an ugly fight.
If Shawn p listen to his pops he will when hands down but bum rushing it will leave him open for a good shot. But that being said I like Shawn P the slugger. Terrance the killer Crawford he’s knot a push over . I call him a sharp shooter set you up and knock them dead. But he have a habit leaving his self open too. Be careful both guys . It’s like a broke dam water is coming but we don’t know who’s gonna drown
