If heavier punchers like Thurman and Spence couldn't stop Porter....

So much for hitting ''harder''

[PRINCEKOOL]

Eroll Spencer Junior is not in my opinion a spiteful monstrous puncher, his strength is situated in his stamina and physical strength. Out of Thurman & Crawford? Spence Junior is the strongest physically. Keith Thurman maybe hits harder than Crawford with a single punch, but overall Terrence Crawford is the most spiteful and violent of them all.

If somebody hits Terrence Crawford, you can see him visibly being insulted by that 'And then he wants to get them back'. Usually you don't see that kind of reaction in elite level fighters, I can only recall that in fighters such as Nigel Benn and probably Mike Tyson during the late 80's and 90's.

If Terrence Crawford as woken up today, with the intention of stopping Shawn Porter 'But sure that, he is going to put all his efforts into doing just that' from all angles and positions, he will be subjecting Porter to heavy bombardment'

I think deep down Terrence Crawford is only coming for a stoppage win, in his mind 'That is the objective'.

If Crawford stops Porter, it will be between rounds 9-12.

So this was my original predication. Although at the last moment, due to how drained Crawford looked at the weigh in 'I did give Porter a outside chance of at-least going the distance'.

I did not actually watch the fight, but will catch it later.

Sometimes when you are not deeply involved in the fight, you can analyse the potential action more objectively.

Overall, Shawn Porter is the america version of Derek Chisora but slightly more sophisticated. Yes he is tough and game, but he really does not have elite level skills. In fact I would say that Derek Chisora at what he does, is closer more to elite level 'Chisora is just a straight up offensive, rough house, inside fighter'. Where as Porter is slightly more sophisticated and has more variation to his game, Porter is not advanced enough to beat the super elite.
