The thing about Bud is, he makes adjustments during the course of a fight, and gets stronger as it progresses. Porter tends to weaken mentally as the fight goes on...I can see Porter flustering Bud in the early rounds, actually winning them. Bud will make the adjustments, start wearing Porter down, and might even get a couple knockdowns.
Terrence will put in a clinic after the 3rd round. Shawn will gladly admit that Bud is a level above Spence afterwards. Bud will switch hit and confuse the hell out of Shawn.
Porter is a good enough to compete with the best but cant win type of fighter. He is technically pretty poor and doesnt punch hard enough to change fights either.
i have no interest in watching him get outclassed again by a better fighter.
Porter would be more exciting in gate keeper fights. He is a good test for younger fighters to see if they swim or not. Cant he just face the likes of Ennis and Vergil Ortiz.
Crawford has a longer reach than Brook, Thurman, Garcia, and Spence, but hits as hard or harder. He can switch hit and has less wear and tear than Shawn. The win is huge for both guys, but Bud needs it more. He wants to end his contract on a statement win, and stay an undefeated champion. I'm not sure what Bud's next move would be after a loss to Porter, so I got Bud becoming the first person to stop Porter.
