Who wins? Bud or Porter (if the fight goes through)

[sargo]

Would pick Crawford but Porter will test him well.

[Mike D]

Crawford has too much range and skill for Shawn IMO. And Shawn doesn't have the power to gain Crawford's respect, nor find a way to test Crawford's possibly questionable chin. As the cliche goes, styles make fights, and I feel like Porter's style would be really good for TC.

porter is a bad style for bud.. he will get exposed.. porter can frustrate bud..that punch of his that landed to spence will knock bud out..

[GhostofDempsey]

Crawford wins. Porter may have a few good moments, particularly if he can get to Crawford’s body. But I think Crawford will land the cleaner more effective punches and pull out a decision win. Let’s face it, even if Crawford should stop him, critics will just say Porter was Spence’s leftovers.

[PBR Streetgang]

Like most Crawford fights, Porter will win early rounds and probably employ some physically mauling tactics. Around midway through the fight, Bud finally gets range and timing and starts to catch Porter hard. I think Porter probably gets buzzed and hurt toward the final third of the fight. Either comfortable UD or possibly late rounds stoppage for Bud.

crawford is unproven as a welter

his big claim to fame is beating postol 5 years ago who was a B level fighter in a weak division.

his best at welter is what, washed up khan and brook. brook had his face broken twice by the time crawford fought him, what a joke.

Crawford was dropped by a Lithuanian cabbage farmer. nobody can even remember that guys name but they can remember crawford being on his ass that fight.

porter has a far higher level of competition. I think he will expose crawford for sure. he will win a decision and crawford will cry he was robbed. watch

Good fight but the problem for Crawford is he likes to really “fight”, especially if he gets hurt. He also is an inside fighter, which means he stays “close” to his opponent. Granted he gives angles but both of these examples is where Porter LOVES to fight.
Crawford better learn to keep him off with a jab and quick.

Benavidez was giving Terrance Crawford problems until the last 4 rounds after his shot leg gave out.

Porter is way stronger than benavidez and has two good legs.

I have a Porter winning by split decision

[HandsofIron]

It's a decent challenge for Crawford. Porter's a physically strong dude, a rough and tough bruiser but there are levels to this game and I wouldn't be surprised if Bud KO's Porter mid to late rounds (unless Crawford doesn't want to hurt or embarrass his supposed friend).

[Combat Talk Radio]

Of course. Uncle Tom was a slander word used by black americans against other black americans that essentially meant "fraud" or "traitor".

Saying Crawford going to get exposed is like saying water isn't wet. It just ain't happening.

...but, water isn't wet, bro. Sorry, you made Fists_of_Fury 's point for him - you agree that Crawford has a high chance of getting exposed.


"Something" can be wet - a surface, etc. Made so by liquid (Water). But the water itself cannot be because it's not a surface.
