If Crawford convincingly beats Porter tomorrow…

I have Crawford by decision as well. But Porter is going to sit down and **** early on I think to see how Crawford reacts. He said he knows how to push Crawford's buttons and he's going to try to do that from the opening bell. Going to see quite a few adjustments by both fighters. What I'm interested in seeing is if Crawford is able to switch as much and if Porter just jumps right on him when he tries to switch. Crawford is very good when throwing off the back foot but Porter's footwork and ability to turn fighters really makes it difficult. Crawford has long arms so if Porter can smother him, he can get the best of some exchanges.
Porter took away Spence's jab and that was huge. Can he do the same against Bud? If so? He's going to be right there with Bud until the end. If not? It's going to be awfully hard to win.Comment

I think Crawford will be a lot more disciplined than usual, I think he’ll use his feet and box off the back foot, I may be wrong but I feel like that’s how he’ll approach this matchup.

Professional has nothing to do with it. It's documented that lungs are damaged from it. Can't ignore a potential impact.
What I'm saying though, is if Crawford loses, I need NSB to be consistent.
When Whyte got sparked out by PEDvetkin, NSB said that he lost to a COVID patient. Which was true - Alex had caught it and recovered.
I want to see the same said here if Porter wins: that NSB's favorite P4P took an L from a COVID suffererer.
I just want consistency.Comment

When Povetkin knocked Whyte out he hadn’t even had COVID yet.

Crawford is more versatile and can do more things in the ring so that's his big advantage. The thing is he does get hit clean every single fight despite being as dominant as he is, so it will do him some good being a bit more conservative and safe. Porter's foot speed and just how he is able to move his feet is something people overlook in all of his fights. That really bugs the crap out of the opponent and he can get to the side of you and turn you before you realize what the hell is happening lol. He's also cleaned up his punches in recent years and isn't as wild. He was a very good football player in HS and he definitely has those RB type of feet.
Also, Porter was fighting guys MUCH bigger than Crawford growing up in the amateurs. Dude fought some heavy punchers and obviously has a great chin. I don't think he's going to fear Crawford like his recent opponents and will be willing to test his chin, especially in the early going. The thing is no Bud opponent ever has any success in the second half of the fight. Spence in a way took over in the second half of the fight and won majority of those rounds against Porter. Can Porter be the first to win some of those second half of the fight rounds vs Bud? Or will Bud adjust in ways that Porter just can't do anything and it is another routine win?

Don't know if he did or didn't, because he never took a fauxcine, and people test negative that actually did have it.
Regardless, Porter DID test positive, on record, and I'm saying that we don't know if he'll be affected. But if Crawford loses, he will have lost to a COVID patient. And NSB should call that fact out.
