If Papa Porter didn't throw in the towel, Shawn goes nigh night.
Looked like he had enough left to fight Kenny.
The end was near but I see the ref stopping it with Shawn on his feet had it gone on.
The Lithuanian turnip farmer dropped him. Washed up and weight drained Kell Brook damn near closed his eye in 3 rounds before he quit. Peg legged gun shot victim Jose Bumavidez took rounds off Crawford until his bum leg gave out. Washed up glass jaw Amir Khan needed low blowed to stop. Crawford is vastly overrated and over hyped. His cherry picking will come back to haunt him when the going gets tough by the top welterweights.
I appreciate what other, lesser fighters do vs Fighter A.
We are talking about Bud vs Porter.
Whatever those other guys did vs Bud or Porter won't factor in, imho.
Bud ''should'' have an ''easy'' go of it.
Bud is a cherry picking cvnt but he finally stepped up.....kinda.
I’ve said it a million times on here but nobody has an easy night out against Porter. Crawford has been taking easy fight after easy fight while Porter has been in against a lot of top guys. Even in losses he didn’t get soundly beat. I think Crawford is special but he’s older and nobody he’s fought is as good as Porter. I’m picking Crawford by decision but Porter is gonna make him earn it. kell brook made it look easy at times against porter he was definitely stronger than porter and pushed him around and clinched him easily he beat porter at his own game. I also think ugas gave porter all kinds of fits and made it look easy at times.
I got Porter exposing Crawford as a hype job cherry picker that fought faded guys and bums while avoiding tough competition.
Shawn is a tough fighter but not hard to beat. I don't see him being able to rough house Bud and that's Shawn's best weapon.
War Showtime!! Rooting for him to pull off the upset. I’m probably dead wrong about Crawford but I just dont see the hype around him. His best win was Brook who was def not the same man who gave Spence a tough fight. Porter is proven and he gave the best welterweight in the division a nearly even fight. He has fought everyone and if he can pull it off, Spencer-Porter rematch here we come!

Rooting for Porter!
1. To humble Bud a little, maybe get some PBC fights for less $ than he wants.
2. Shawn is game and given every ww he has fought an uncomfortable fight. Pulling for the upset here.
I saw the Ring predictions all 20 people picked Crawford to win.
So is there anyone on NSB going out on a limb and picking Porter to win?? you know it's funny that there's all these articles talking about how we are going to find out what crawford is and that crawford isn't elite because he hasn't fought anybody yet but every last one of them (ring predictions for example) is picking crawford to win! same goes for the users on this forum. trashing crawford and saying he's overrated who hasn't fought anybody yet and acting like him not fighting the welterweights on the other side of the street is solely his fault.
As sloppy as Shawn is he does manage to get almost all his rivals to engage and make it a harder fight for them. He needs to come out aggressive from the start and land something big to rattle Crawford's confidence and work the body from the start to make him uncomfortable in the pocket. Make Bud second guess himself and don't let him establish the distance and pace of the fight or else he'll get picked apart. I'm just hoping for a competitive fight and I'm riding with Porter the more experienced fighter at WW
I don't want the story to end. That's why I'm rooting for Porter.
If Bud beats Shawn in very convincing fashion, the story will end right there. Don't even mention Spence again. Fans would have seen what they wanted to see in this fight.
