Should Porter be the actual favorite going in? He has a way better resume,& not phantasy resume of hypotheticals like Bud

[kushking]

I think Porter has all the tools in his arsenal to beat Bud. I think so more now than ever before because Ortiz whooped Green machine worse than Bud did in 1 rd rd sooner,

& most of you said Ortiz had to do exactly that before he can talk anything to Bud or be worthy,etc. Because you all said you don't think he would ko green machine because supposedly he was such a dangerous worthy win for Bud who deserves so much respect (You all know who you are, don't make me call you out)

I can easily see Porter getting robbed by Bud,I can see it being a worse version of ggg v Jacobs in scoring or Pac v Bradley where at worst its a tossup fight,but the cards say Bud won clearly by several rds.

Because they know Spence v Bud is now more likely than ever before to be next if Bud wins & Pac retires or if he doesn't,judges know Bud v Spence would sell 1.5 mil ppvs,& that drama like Spences injuries only make the fight bigger,

I think Politics will make it hard for Porter to win on pts even if he deserves it,but I can just as easily see Porter stopping Bud or winning 8 rds.

Porter has the experience,not Bud. Porters already fought virtually every Phantasy boogieman & went toe to toe with all of em & has argument he beat them all.

They haven't released the lines yet but I see Porter as the favorite going in. I expect the line to have bud a 2-1 fav or thereabouts,but my line based on reality would have Porter as the 2-1 favorite.

Am I right or why am I wrong?

Was Kel Brook the favourite against Crawford?

[STREET CLEANER]

I have Porter the slight favorite until proven otherwise.

[Pago007]

Crawford should be 3-1 favorite

[LeOoze]

Bud should clearly be the favorite imo

[Dobyzhee]

If Bud doesn’t stop Porter, I’d be dissapointed

[RL_GMA]

Crawford would likely be a 3/1 favorite. I actually think Crawford will be the 1st to stop Porter.

I think your point is reasonable, even if I disagree with you. There is something to be said for his having the better resume, but that alone shouldn't set the favorite in my opinion. Styles still make fights and no matter his competition I still put value in the eye test (it also cannot be trusted alone, of course). I think Bud is equipped to handle Porter. He has the pop and the boxing skill to make for an entertaining but punishing fight. I think he breaks down Porter with superior footwork, I think he'll invest to the body, and I think by doing those two things he'll more effectively keep porter at range. In doing so he can keep Porter at the end of his own punches and scores a clear, likely convincing win.

But hey, that's why they fight, right? Arguments can be made for either guy here so there's only one way to solve it!

Mentally masterbating over whose the favorite is a waste of time. That said, Crawford is anything but PREDICTABLE. I love Porter, but he’s very predictable.

What does that have to do? But no he was the heavy heavy underdog because he was washed as sht & had a glass face that shattered & was replaced with steel rebar & concrete puddy that crumbled to stress fractures when a strong wind is blowing...
