    7-5 Porter. Was easy fight to score IMO. Porter is too Erratic and agressive for Crawford IMO.
    Easy fight to score yet you scored it terribly. I had it lopsided for Keith. Continuing to come forward all fight and eat punches doesn't score you rounds in my book.

      You can argue he did really well and made the fights close but i can't see scoring either fight for porter. With Brook he couldn't get off due to clinching and being out boxed. With Keith he just ate hard shots most of the fight with nothing much given in return. Coming forward isn't enough to win you fights.

        Very easy fight for Crawford. Porter is pretty careless and comes wading in without much defense. If his inside game is taken away he’s ****ed. Brook was happy to hold inside and stronger than him so that became easy for Brook.

        Crawford is very adaptable. Perhaps moreso than any fighter alive and he’s strong inside too. He’d have fun countering Porter coming in and he’d be fine inside either beating him or working his way out then connecting with speed.

        I’d say a late stoppage after an accumulation in a one-sided fight.

            There I said it. Porter is erratic and explosive and much more aggressive than Jeff Horn. He has great movement, moving his head side to side, bob and weave as he goes would make him a very hard target for Crawford to catch him on the way in, and has a good jab also especially a good lead right and a good left hook.

            And IMO Porter manhandles Crawford, Porter man handled a healthy Keith Thurman in the clinches and was throwing him around on the ropes, and that is a feat of strength that Crawford couldn't match.
            Porter is a hard fight for Crawford but I think Crawford would win. Porter can be reckless with his hard charging attack and Crawford is very quick and accurate with his punches. He could catch Porter with some bombs like Broner did in the last round of his fight with Porter. Crawford is a strong fighter and I doubt he gets man handled by Porter. Besides man handling doesn't score points but landing punches does. Thurman beat Porter and I think Crawford beats either of them.

              Easy fight.

              Porter is B level at best and being overrated because he exposed Thurmans inability to fight at close quarters.

              Crawford would comprehensively outbox him and when Porter got inside he'd only smother his own work anyway lol.
              Bud would beat him senseless on the inside if he wanted. Simply too skilled for that caveman approach. Unlike Porter he knows how to create space with his feet, his arms, his shoulders he'll create the space and beat his ass so bad Porter will suddenly want to try boxing from the outside.

                When Thurman wanted to trade Porter wanted no parts of that. And nobody threw Thurman around. He trapped Thurman on the ropes at times that’s about it. Porter would get annihilated trying that ****t with Bud. That kinda **** doesn’t work on Bud. Foh lmao...

                  I agree 100%, people are just looking to doubt Crawford. To be quite honest I think Swift drops Porter and beats him pretty convincingly. Not saying Rios is on the level of Porter but there really isn't a better tune-up for Porter. Danny is going to look super sharp.

                    I've noticed around here the better a fighter gets and the more recognition and accolades he receives the lower the caliber of fighter can beat him now.

                    I agree. I like Garcia in that fight. He can handle himself in the clinch and is obviously the better boxer with better timing.
