This is why Porter can beat Crawford.

[koolkc107]

I think people are so enamored of Crawford's skill and ability that they are completely ignoring facts about Porter.

When Bud was at 140, no one was thinking he was a bigger puncher than Kell Brook, Danny Garcia, Keith Thurman, or Errol Spence.

Porter has faced all four, has exchanged with all four, and has not been stopped. And, whenever he HAS been put on the canvas (Broner, Spence) he's gotten right up and responded positively.

Crawford isn't going to knock out Porter.

The only person in this fight in danger of being stopped is Bud, who has been wobbled and dropped by lesser fighters than Shawn.

This is Bud's biggest test of his entire career. There's no one on his resume remotely in Shawn Porter's class.

We'll see if he's up to it.

Horn had a little success there, but it was barely noticeable and had zero effect on the outcome of that fight. Crawford is no defensive wizard, but he doesn’t have to be against Porter. He’ll be able to see Porter‘s inaccurate punches from a mile away.

I know who won and how, but as a former handicapper, this is the things we look at. How does x do against x over and over again. Also take into account, Horn isn't strong like Porter is. Horn isn't as good as Porter, Horn doesn't have legit wins over the same opposition as Porter. The point of the spear here is a lesser Horn had some interesting success with this approach which just happens to be the main course for Porter.

Porter used to fight as a middle-weight in the amateurs and he's beaten big names in the amateurs.

I know amateurs is obviously different, but it means something ---> those things carry over and resonate into the final product.

These are some great highlights --->

Crawford got his hands full. Only advantage I give him is he's fresher than Porter. An antire career of easy fights puts little to no wear on you. Porter been in some ****ers and taken some damage along the way. He does expose himself once he gets his rhythm going, knows how to bully you around, great on the inside and by the time he does expose himself the damage to Crawford might be too extensive.
