[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The WBO ordered the Terence Crawford-Shawn Porter fight during the month before Errol Spence Jr. suffered a serious eye injury and Manny Pacquiao lost to Spence's replacement, Yordenis Ugas.

Welcome to reality Bob! This was always a great fight for Terence! David Avaneysan, and Jose Zepeda were terrible options! Financially, I think Vergil Ortiz Jr. would've been even better!

When is Kudratillo Abdukakhorov fighting again? IBF needs to order him to face Spence, or Boots (if Boots beats Dulorme) very soon!

Keith Thurman said in a fighthype interview of How Bob Arum personally pushed and mandated that fight to happen because of issues with Terrence Crawford. My take is Snake J Bob Arum wants to get Crawford beat before he leaves his company smh

Oh, Keith said that...wow! No one really cares what Keith says btw... Arum did his job with mandate...it's the only way to make it happen with any protected PBC ww

Bob Arum said something I can agree with. There are limited fights I want to see and this is a fight that means something, particularly since most recent fights have been trash presented as meaningful events.

And yes, this IS PPV worthy.

Let's think, Ortiz, Ennis, Ugas are all quality opponents. Porter is too, but Porter has more miles on him, still quality though.

I wanna see Boots get his shot LET'S GO BOOTS ENNIS!

It's a decent fight. Ugas and Vergil Ortiz would be better opponents, but probably make less sense from a promotional perspective at this moment in time. Porter is a good fighter and a tough opponent. We have seen him come up short against Thurman and Spence, though, and the expectation is that we'll see the same again. Still, a firm test for Crawford at the least.

It's a decent fight. Crawford has the clear edge. Does he beat Ortiz Jr though? Yes, I think so. Does he beat Ennis? I'm not sure.

Boots is going to be one of the most avoided fighters on boxing. Contenders will avoid title shots if he is champio. Barring another Donald curry scenario, I don’t see how boots misses. Boots would really show that Crawford is a natural lightweight. I think even Porter has a chance of making this fight more intersting than people think due to his natural size advantage combined with the fact that he can brawl and box equally well
