Bud Crawford's personality: Bud vs Porter fight prediction

[RENE JUNIOR]

Yeah it’s definitely held him back in terms of attracting fans. He always seems disengaged with a lot of the media stuff.

I like Crawford by a clear decision, I think he’ll box quite cautiously compared to recent fights.

Oh ok I see.
Yeah, I mean in this digital era, I think should have taken more opportunity via the digital means, he would have had A LOT more doors open up for him as opposed to his dry personality.

I actually got Bud by KO in Rd 7.

He doesn't need to do anything different. He is making millions and winning titles. Literally every boxers dream.

Saw Crawford on Jalen and Jacoby on ESPN yesterday. Was sad. Those guy are trying to hype up the fight and Crawford is mumbling and bumbling like he’s half asleep. Anyone watching that interview had no reason to watch this guy fight.

I mean that's exactly the thing.
In most his interviews he's like that. Super boring man and makes people not want to listen to him at all. I think a lot of how he expresses himself in the media is the reason why a lot of people don't pay attention to him. Seems like he cares less about the fans out there.

Hes very competitive but I just threw dancing with the stars out there as an example.

But all these youtubers have channels with millions of followers, he could literally go play a bball game 1 on 1 against a big youtuber.

My point is there are so many outlets out there to at least get his name/face out there and his competitiveness will attract fans.

That is facts man. I agree

[RENE JUNIOR]

He doesn't have to play the villian. He has to have a CHARACTER. It doesn't matter what character, he needs one.

You know it's bad when F'n Canelo is more interesting to watch interview than Crawford when that dude barely spoke English 3 years ago.


Say SOMETHING more than "we'll see Saturday night".


Here's Floyd talking about the need to do it to build yourself when you're young and unproven. Crawford is young(ish) and unproven. He's not Floyd. He's not close and never will be at this rate.

Floyd wasn't getting paydays until he turnt up. In his case, he was inspired by pro wrestling too and decided to become a heel.

But the point is you have to SELL your character to the fans or they won't dial in. Whether it's to cheer you or see you lose, you have to get them engaged with something.

Here's when Floyd was turnt up, telling the truth but cutting a promo to sell the fight. Even Gatti, slurring as he was, sold better than Crawford.

Thats is BIG FACTS!!

And in my original post, I mentioned nothing at all regarding Bud being some kind of villain.
You are spot on man, I agree.
These fighters got to wake the heck up and take notes form the legends from the past.
Most, if not all, legends knew how to sell fights in regards to their personalities and character

So you're interested more in interviews than the fights, if a guy can really fight that's my first attraction the rest don't matter to me.

They train actors, they teach singers how to sing, they do makeovers to project an image, with boxers they say just go be popular, it doesn't work that way many need to be taught how to sell themselves and boxing promoters don't want to employ the right people to do that.

Terence is an herb compared to Floyd

Floyd had opinions that go against the grain

Floyd was direct about wanting to fight Tsyzu ODLH Mosley and other great fighters

Terence does not care at all

Facts.
I mean, just by analyzing Bud's body language and how he talks, it kind of seems like he probably doesn't have much passion for the sport anymore.

[just the facts]

Press conferences and that type stuff means little to me and doesn’t to many real boxing fans. I think Crawford win a well deserved UD in a tough fight where Porter has his moments.

[RENE JUNIOR]

Crawford strikes me as the quiet type, who keeps himself guarded in the public eye. Not good for promoting himself. That said, I don't think he will KO Porter. He'll win a close decision.

I feel you at quiet type.

Yeah he introverted, but in this sport, even if you an intro, you gotta show more life and enthusiasm.

...What Personality? Excellent Fighter though!
