    I'm rooting for 'BUD', 'Soul-Taker' and 'Boo-Boo' this week! Lets get it!

      To call Porter a ‘jobber’ is just plain disrespectful. He has been among the elite fighters at this weight just below Bud and Spence in my opinion (and below Ennis now). He gave Spence a hard time. The Brook that Bud beat had already suffered at the hands of GGG and was no longer the fighter that beat Porter. Porter’s performance against Spence is a far better measure of his ability. Swarmers like Porter are difficult to dominate because they make it difficult to establish a rhythm easily.

      That said, Bud knows how to deconstruct a fighter and his ring IQ is second to none. I reckon he either wins late by TKO or unanimous decision. Porter is no Barrera but he has an outside chance of an upset in the same way Barrero stopped Naseem Hamed not by charging in aggressively, which was his usual style, but by boxing cleverly from the outside, counterpunching and avoiding Hamed’s vaunted left hand.

                Crawfords a great fighter but how anyone can be a fan of a guy fighting corpses until this stage of his career is beyond me

                It's even less forgivable considering his talent

                  I sent petero to Australia and cover Tszyu vs. Inoue for ESNEWS, but he tells me that hes lost in some place called Humpty-Doo or Boomers-Bottom. WAR 'Soul-Taker'!!!

                    Right? I almost would like to see Porter win now solely on account of dude actually labeling him a jobber

                      Porter would be undefeated if he faced Crawford’s opponents. Get real. Spence, Garcia, Thurman , Uguas are alll MUCH better names than Crawford has in his resume. This is a GOOD fight
