Crawford didn't push for this fight to my understanding Kenny and Shawn did Crawford was trying to get pac or something else porter pushed for this sometimes the writers should do they're homework first before they write articlesComment

"That dynamic changed once Crawford and his team pushed for the WBO to order a mandatory title fight versus Porter, a former IBF and WBC welterweight titlist from Las Vegas by way of Akron, Ohio."
This is a lie. Porter and his team pushed for this fight and Bob Arum said originally that Porter was only worth a 1 million offer. Terrance Crawford was forced to fight him. And I got Porter on this one, if he fights like he did against Spence and Thurman, Crawford loses. However if the Porter that fought Ugas shows up, then I lean towards Crawford. However I feel like Porter is going to be in top shape and pull off the upset. Which I wouldn't call it if Porter wins, I'm not high on Bud since he moved to WW.Comment

I'm already on record, bro. Multiple times.
For Crawford to get FULL credit, from me and the media, he must get:
1. Clean, clear stoppage
2. Clean, clear knockout
3. Blowout - over 9 rounds to 3
He has to do what nobody has done to Shawn Porter.
If he gets a clean, clear knockout or stoppage - meaning it's not a trigger ref, I'm talking Kenny Porter tossing a towel, Porter taking a knee or quitting on the stool, Porter out on his back, etc...Crawford will get major credit and rightfully so, because that's highly unlikely.
What's more likely is that it's a BS stoppage where Porter is still fighting back.Comment

Crawford is going to beat Porter up. I like Porter as a commentator. As a boxer he leaves a lot to be desired to be a top tier welter. This is as close to fighting Spence Crawford is going to get because of PBC. He will make a statement.
As far as PBC excuses for not making the Spence fight,(they Are the ones whose held up the fight),the only reason they are allowing Porter to fight Craw now is because he has no belt. Otherwise it would be another round robin with Garcia or Thurman. Yawn. And I do think Soence/Crawford is a 50/50 fight and the purses should be split 50/50 with a rematch clause that states the winner gets 55 in the rematch. That is the fight fans clamored for for years that has reached,or nearly reached it's expiration date. It's a real shame for boxing fans not to have gotten that fight. Peace.Comment

Good fight because it HELPS the business Top Rank Vs. PBC ect...
But what will a WIN over Shawn Porter actually do for Crawford right now???
(Since ALMOST everyone already expects him to beat Shawn)
Sucks Spence is in semi retirement right now. That's the fight the world wants.
Hopefully this Crawford/Porter scrap forces the Spence fight. (ASSuming TC wins)Comment

PORTER is a decent win, but doesn’t elevate Crawford. Porter has losses against Brook, Thurman, Spence. Porter is gate keeper to top 147 div.Comment
