I got Crawford winning clearly. Porter comes right you which is a problem vs Crawford. Crawfords footwork is better than Spences. He won't have problems getting backed up.
Porter is a good welterweight but he's lost the 3 times he's stepped up Brook, Thurman and Spence and won 2 razor tight decisions Garcia and Ugas.
Agreed, I don’t see any other way but Bud way. Of course Porter is a big welterweight and Bud came up from the lower weight classes, but he would outbox Porter if they don’t make him avoid this fight.
There is a reason all those PBC welterweights were kept away from Bud. Thurman wants 10ms, Garcia begged not to fight him (Angel Garcia screaming why does he want to fight PBC fighters ), Spence claimed Al has the easy route for him and other side of the streets, porter claimed he has people advising him etc…
Now one of them is being forced to, I actually thought it was Porter that put the request in to the WBO, didn’t know the WBO took it upon themselves to make this call. Which shows how Porter never bothered with it, even with all the BS about Kenny Porter speaking to Arum/Top rank about that fight.
I got Shawn in a close fight that could go either way.
My pick is based primarily on quality of opposition. I’ve never seen Dud fight a Welterweight as good as Shawn.
Shawn has gotten better over time IMO.
Dud?? Wow man, hey you are 100% accurate though. It's about time Bud gets a great competitive matchup in Porter.
I actually got Bud winning, maybe UD or SD.
Exposed? I mean that is a possibility.
I think there is a chance of that because Bud's opposition I feel may have not properly prepared him for someone like Porter.
On the flipside, I also feel Bud will put up a great fight and win.
