Everybody will see just how good Crawford is in this fight, and Porter will be the first to witness it.

Porter is always in shape, but I can see his intercostals and obliques more than in previous fights. He looks super strong. Crawford also looks extra fit, and dead serious. Both are game to the core. Going with Bud in 9 or 10

Same observations here however, I’m going with Porter’s non-stop violent aggression to overwhelm Crawford in a UD victory.

I expect crawford to match that aggression. we seen when crawford gets hit he comes right back to get his own shots in. crawford is a pitbull.

Porter sermed to be too relaxed throughout the whole build-up which can be God and bad, I've seem too relaxed fighters get KOed before and I've seen relaxed fighters turn it up on fight night. Crawford seemed to be very focused. Doesn't mean much since we've seen a lot of fighters looks focused but not perform well on fight night. Sometimes that's them convincing themselves that they're focused despite a bad camp or maybe they trying to intimidate their opponent.

Bud looked drain and irritated. He looked like he was about to pass out on Max On Boxing. I can imagine he wanted to punch Wordy Smurf Max Kellerman in the face for repeating questions and extending the interview.

Bud wanted it to be over. Porter looked proud while making weight and he’s had to use the towel a few times. BoMac even mentioned they were going “shake off” those last few lbs on the morning of the weigh in.

I guess his metabolism is beginning to slow as he is mid 30s in age Crawford could make the move to 154 in the near future.

Crawford seemed nervous to me.

I will call out one photo, and just say, I'm getting Hagler/Hearns vibes.

The height difference.
Crawford's face.
Porter's stocky, muscular build..

If we see that outcome...Boxingscene.com might crash like the old days.

Crawford's focus reminds me of Keef when he faced off with Manny.

Well

I have not been one of these posters who think that Crawford is going to run through Porter. I think it will be a tough fight for both fighters. I can see Crawford winning, I would be SHOCKED if he can stop Porter like everyone thinks he will. Personally given their styles I think people are overlooking a lot of ways PORTER can give Crawford trouble, which seems to be the case when it comes to this forum and Terence Crawford.
