I think its a close fight up until Crawford takes over in the latter half. Hes never faced anyone as aggressive, strong, or that closes the distance as fast as Porter. Spence was surprised by it and Crawford will be too. The only exception is that Crawford is faster and might be able to use that speed to adjust better.
If Porter could replicate what he did in the Spence fight I’m not sure Crawford could win that type of fight. But Crawford isn’t that type of fighter. He’s more tactical and cerebral with his approach.
Crawford vs Porter has to be made so Bud can show whether he's at Spence's level or above...how does this play out?Nobody knows until they fight. Everybody is just guessing no matter how dead certain they claim to be. Nobody knows the future or how exactly a fight between two champions will go. My pick is Spence by KO in a hard fought battle bu I am only guessing like everyone else. I think the betting odds will be just about even. I think Spence has the better chin, more punching power and a higher punch output per round.
He’s not going to fight Porter he already said it. He’s fine facing one legged fighters and guys like Amir Khan. As long as he’s not associated to Haymon or Floyd he’ll get a pass for it.
It's another close call, Crawford uses his legs to keep the distance and land cleaner shots, but Porter would definitely catch up to him and outwork him in some rounds, but enough rounds? Maybe, Bud has never had to deal with that kind of physicality and athleticism and speed and everything
