Thats true enough Thurman, but when Crawford closed it out, he shut it down completely
Forcing his father to throw in the towel of surrender, end of story professor Thurman.

Porter Sr absolutely knew what was coming from T Crawford, made the best decision for Shawn’s health… C’mon Keith, make the call for Bud if you’re victorious tomorrow, show some balls for PBC !!

I can agree with that - althought I still felt like TC handled Porter well and put a stamp on it, i can understand why people thought there were rough spots.

And for Keith's part - I thought he worked his way into the Manny fight after the bad start. It all ended when Manny landed that liver shot later on, but Keith made some nice adjustments and shortened things up, became a little more compact and was manuvered Pac around to the ropes for some nice sequences. I still think he's got something to show, lets see (watch that liver shot though!)

It only took the P4P ' One-time ' to do Shawn Porter.

I think Keith's analysis is quite acute, but Keith isn't meant to be a fight analyst, he's meant to be a fighter, & given his recent record he really shouldn't even comment on Crawford.

I thought porter could have carried on if had actually wanted to, but he had already retired before he chose to capitulate to Crawford, it definitely wasn't one of Crawfords best nights, a hungry fighter would have wanted to go the whole 12 rds.

Man, that was a pretty good synopsis of the fight by Thurman. Funny, I even read it in Keith's voice. lol

I like that new nickname, Crafty Crawford! I hope Thurman wins tomorrow night and looks good in his comeback. He's always been a likeable fighter for me and I look forward to seeing what he has left in the tank after such a long layoff.

Seems like Keef can’t keep Bud out of his mouth
Trying to get the last mega fight , maybe or just trying to be in the mix
For a guy who’s thrown away his career , ( mind you he’s got money and does well ) he’s very articulate about other fighters of recent
I hope he’s not looking to far ahead
Wouldn’t be wise move

I think Porter wanted to carry on but his father knew Sean had already retired mentally before the fight.
