    Is Anyone Picking Shawn Porter Tomorrow?

    I saw the Ring predictions all 20 people picked Crawford to win.

    So is there anyone on NSB going out on a limb and picking Porter to win??

          Too many unknowns to call it.

          Crawford has demonstrably been wobbled, two-pieced, out jabbed, out gunned etc...but a trigger ref has intervened on all but one occasion.

          The other occasion, the guy's knee gave out.

          That's a factor especially since the ref is apparently raw and new and may not follow the rules correctly.

          Porter has gotten caught unawares by Broner - that won't happen here, because it only happened due to Porter's overconfidence.

          He got clipped by Spence mid-throw, but Spence is arguably stronger than Crawford. Thus, even if Crawford catches him - and he will - I don't think it'll have the same effect.


          From my eyes, Crawford's key to victory is the one thing he's struggled to do, which is maintain composure under fire like Spence did, like Keef did and like Ugas did. The Postol strategy won't work, because Porter will keep coming and keep throwing.

          All Porter has to do is not fight like he fought against Ugas and minimum, it's a draw.


          My call: it goes the distance and the decision is a result that the vast majority of people don't agree with.

            Porter is coming in with some PRESSURE. That man can fight. He will probably win the fight and get robbed cause hes my guy.

            My guys always get shafted, GGG, Porter, Deontay Wilder.

            If you guys see me pick someone, pick against it. Easy money.

                I got Porter on points. It's gonna be a close fight, but this is the year of the upset(even though an upset implies a massive undersog beating a favorite and this fight isn't a mismatch).

                  Why? Porter has fought a ton of good fighters and not one has stopped him yet and it can easily be argued that he’s never been seriously hurt. Why the double standard. Never mind, I forgot who I was talking to.

                  I think Crawford wins a UD but I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if Porter won.

                    I second that. Porter lost all his big fights and now he's older. I don't even think it's close. I'm on the fence if Crawford can TKO him so probably UD 116-112
