Smdh, you want this mf to be protected for the rest of his career or what? When you face elite competition every fight is a 'risky fight he might lose'.
I've been calling for Crawford to face elite competition for a while now.
But Bob Arum has kept him nice and protected. What I'm asking is why the World Bobarum Organization has suddenly ordered a risky fight at this time, with Crawford's contract about to run out?
I think he wants to make Crawford vs. Taylor, but he'll want Bud to sign an extension first! If Bud signs an extension, then i'm done with him for good!
That makes little sense. Why sign Crawford to a long deal when he has no one to match him with at welter? A 1-fight deal is more likely. But if Crawford is not with TR, arum is going to want Taylor to get acclimated at 147 first.
Arum doesn't have a choice. He either coughs up the money to have the fight on ESPN, or risk the fight going to purse bid, and it ends up on PBC or DAZN.
Terence could always vacate.
Or Arum can rob Crawford on the cards in his next fight like he did with Pacquiao vs Bradley when Pac was talk about leaving Top Rank to make the Floyd fight.
The style matchup is in Crawford’s favor actually. Porter likes to swing wide but poses little danger in hurting Crawford, Crawford excels in exchanges. Crawford knows how to ride with your punches while throwing his own behind them, Porter fights squared and relies on ducking down.
Thurman always turns into a mover after about 4 rd’s, but early he’s always trying to jump on guys and exchanging, he nearly dropped Porter tiwce early in that fight, and had Danny GARSH swimming in the ring early, (got ***ed up by Pacquiao using this tactic, Pac is the king of exchanges). That’s what this fight entails for Porter. Lots of in-close exchanges and Crawford may not hit quite as hard as Thurman but he’ll be more aggressive for longer.
Wondering why some fans say Crawford will stop Porter. Yes it could happen... but Porter is no easy mark. Spence had trouble with him, and only won a split decision. And BTW... Spence in that close of a fight with Porter... yet fans saying Spence will easily stop Pac?
people are just fan boys the same guys that said charlo beats castano by ko the same guys that said canelo ducking plant are usually the ones talking out of their @$$es...this is a good fight porter is strong and makes fights ugly personally i like that style
Porter now has his big chance, he came up short with Spence and Crawford will also be tough to beat. Crawford's quickness and movement will be a problem for Porter who must use extreme pressure like he always does. We hope it's a great fight.
i can't see porter being stopped, he might lose, crawford would be the favourite, but can't see a KO. porter would be crawford's best opponent to date and he already lost all his big fights lol
