Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Happy fight night! Trying to make it a positive always love to see Crawford do work. A genuine chip on that shoulder. Little bit of young Hopkins punishing guys when the bloods in the water. This should be good and no slouch in Porter. That said..Boots Ennis and Ortiz are coming for y'all ;D.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Crawford has by far the least irritating rap music for the ring walk/ring walk. Another reason I want him to win.
Augmented reality for me tonight. I may not make it to the final bell.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
How is Crawford not 154 already guy is massive all over. Scratch n sniff good 1st for Porter but walking onto him a bit.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Porter looks stuck between styles. Bud starts chewing him up but Porter clocks him a good left hook too. And Porter cut. Gritty stuff now Crawford with the physicality
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Warming up. Crawford doing a lot of missing.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Good 5th Porter have it 3-2 Crawford. Crawford needs to center and he buzzes him down the middle.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
I was expecting masterful superquick super accurate counterpunching from Crawford but there's a lot of missing, standing off and he doesn't seem nearly as confident about what he's doing as normal. Definitely seems off mentally. Porter is winning this.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Porter has succeeded in making this an inside grind and Billy goat mix. Both cut and feels like Bud making this harder than it need be. Porter has bursts but neither consistent. Porter swaying the crowd
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Left side of Porter all bumped up now. Feels like Crawford in stalking mode but he's flirting with coasting here his round. Time to go in the accuracy is there
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Man Crawford crumpled him there. That power surge ko. Porter Pop stops it and great call.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Sticking with what I said long ago
Spence is my favorite WW, but Crawford is the best WW(at least until Boots is ready)
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Good work crawford, he'd have liked to have had it easier there but porter is a tough guy to fight and being the first guy to stop him is a fairly impressive achievement.
Is he going to Spence next?
Actually who cares about Spence get him in v broner next, broners delusions are pretty funny these days and crawford would make him pay.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Porter's dad did the right thing considering the situation. He could have a future as a British boxing referee. Pretty good fight but nowhere near as good as I was hoping for.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
Good fight- I am now confident in saying Crawford is a legitimately great fighter. I think he stops Spence. Danny Garcia was catching Spence with counter and lead rights regularly- Crawford takes his head off.
Re: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter
1st few rounds, Crawford's body language was calm, relaxed. Disagreed with Ward/Bradley on the Porter maintiaining control- that isnt his forte. Was it the 3rd? Bud bulldozed the bulldozer into the ropes. Not as embarrasing as MAB shoving Hamed's head to the turnbuckle but it was telling to see how easily Bud spun Sean around, bullied him to the ropes.
Bradley: If Crawford thinks Porter is gonna slow down
When he stated that- naw, Porter was in check. He was trying to have controlled aggresion because he knows the skill level of Bud wouldn exploit his weakness.
4th round was the 1st for me in seeing Sean be Sean.
Didn't rattle Terrence at all.
Sean's expression serious- Bud's temperment IMO was like a kid on the playground having fun.
The cut over Sean's eye- didnt phase him, not the kind of guy that panics.
Kudos to you guys who felt Bud would easily reduce him, I figured Porter would make him earn it.
midrounds, loved the way Bud kept touching that body. Bud stayed inside, that headbutt he got was worse than Sean's, yet it didn't phase him.
