I just saw a headline that states Sean Porter hangs up gloves, but I couldnt access the link.

I'd say this is the last hoorah for ShowTime Sean. That's the kind of stoppage, that can drain a man's confidence, reducing him to a lower tier.

He wasn't beaten up physically as much as he was drained mentally & emotionally by the Budster.

Congrats to Terrence, he put on a ShowTime Performance.

I saw it. He may change and come back when he's bored or the money is tricked off, but hopefully he can -maybe oh, become a commentator?
Great career Porter. As Crawford stated- he was chosen because Sean says no to NO one. Aggressive fighter who gave his all & pushed fighters to become greater.

Thank you!!!

Question Palmerq; was that out of frustration? Being emotional? Think he'll be back...soon?!
I hope not. He can still win some fights, but it seems his daddy mustve made him do the some soul searching. If he clowned him in front of the world like that, I am sure they had that discussion during/after training on several occasions.

His Father reminds me a bit of Shane's father. When it got bad enough, they stopped thinking like a trainer and thought like a concerned father, not sure if that is good or bad.

Correction- A GREAT resume!

[SlimTrae]

Sean Porter post fight interview top comments:

"I took too many shots, hands were down bad defense."

"Crawford does more than everything exceptionally well"

"My dad and I didnt have an up or down conversation during this fight, so I wasnt really sure where the scorecards were."

"Fighting Spence wasn't as tough as fighting Crawford"


"I was hesitant and I didnt put my foot in the gas pedal enough" <<<<----That was NOT what the commentators said. I disagreed with them and Sean proved my point!


"I am prepared to retired even if I won or loss. I am announcing my retirement right now"


APPLAUSE OCCURRED! 7:27 IN....




TOP COMMENT-
He respected Ward who was asked why not come back and fight Canelo, you got one more left in you.
Sean stated that was boss, when a fighters responds...why can't I retire ...with that one left (still) in me.

"You guys expect us to fight for 15-20 years... yet you hope we leave the game with our health in tact"
Sean is stating, he is leaving the game knowing he has his health. No need to continue especially with this comment here:


"I am NOT GONNA BE A GATEKEEPER"




"I jumped out of planes with my son. Ive raced him driving 100 mph per hour. When he was dropped in this fight, I didnt see that get up in him, so I knew it was time. "

--Kenny Porter

[SlimTrae]

Was this your best performance, Bud said no, I agree.




THE BEST COMMENT I'VE HEARD IN YEARS:
'Bob Arum couldn't secure the Spence fight when I was with him ,so how is he gonna secure it if I am not with him?"
--Bud Crawford

and he said that...with Arum sitting RIGHT NEXT TO HIM!!!!!!


This is a great example IMO of a fight that was close each round, but overall wasn't close.

IMO at his age- he still hasn't showed his best. I think it is Spence that can bring the best out of him. Don't wanna say this, but Porter is an example of a one-trick pony. His thing was forward aggression. Not really a Plan B, C fighter. So once Bud nullified his best asset, that was it!!!!

He did pretty good, I was amazed at the time that not many made more noise about the Thurman decision, Admittedly I wasn't scoring it so maybe it was fine but it that one seemed like a sort of fight where people cry robbery, just seemed like the whole thing was set up for Thurman benefit :S..The other BC (before crawford) losses were split or majority decisions too, not bad at ALL, it's Crawford is really great at ramping it up and it must be so demoralizing to lose like that, I'm sure that porter thought he was winning and then crawford just takes it all away....

I think he'll stay retired and get a job on tv that he'll love and it's probably for the best, he's had a nice career and I don't think he can do any better than sniping the odd belt in the future, it's not worth it. Tv will pay him well I think.
