Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter

[Master]

As I posted on another thread... massively rooting for Bud in this one.

Porter's a nice enough guy... but my first bit of advice to Crawford would be to enter the ring with a red cape and a sword.

Shawn's headlong rushes are the reason I despise every one of his fights.

Some call it aggressiveness... I call it disguising a lack of classic boxing skills with bull-like charges.

I did not manage to watch Spence v Porter but heard at least one of the rounds was a classic. I know he likes to go head first when he has run out of ideas but heard he fought well against Spence?

Damn good fight, watch it! A man has got to eat his wheaties fighting Porter. The one thing I like about him- is rushing in or not, he throws in the process so technically he is boxing!

I really like this fight here! At some point Crawford wont give angles he will stand and trade. Not sure who has more power Gamboa when he faced Bud or Sean when they meet. Since Gamboa forced Bud to hold with a punch he didn't see, I know Sean will land and land with shots from rushing angles.




Bud is light years better than Pauli was during his prime, but I like this highlight because it shows how quick Sean's hands are when he throws in bunches.
And also how tough Paulie is. Cotto in his prime couldn't win by KO, but Sean did.

Tossup fight, I think Bud is the technical fighter with a ghetto mentality. I am going with Sean cause he's my dog! Fellow Akronites War Porter!!!!!!

Porter-Crawford

2 great fights will produce candidates for ROTY & FOTY!

If there's ever a fighter to exploit the bullrushing style of Porter it's Terence Crawford. This is a smallish welter against a guy who could probably compete at 160. I keep waiting for Porter to come into a fight weight drained but he's still somehow able to make the weight and be effective. Crawford has the skills to really put on a show here though. I think it's a clear Crawford UD.

Really hoping they put on a show. 1st we lose Fury-Wilder...not too surprised with Fury, now Pac-Spence. A great May, June, July...starting to fade a bit. But I think both these guys will make it to the ring and display some fireworks. Bud has the tools, but again I'm rooting for my fellow Akronite to be Bud's Kryptonite!
