Comments Thread For: Oddsmaker: Porter Fight Has Slightly Lowered Spence's Stock

Bs. Terence Duckford can't even hurt the low level opponents that he's been fighting on the other side of the street. Spence will break his frail body down 🥊💯

Lmao! I hope Crawford is the favorite when he fights Spence.. I'm putting my money on Spence!

... It's Ok... but tell us just when and at what weight Spence would want to fight Bud?...

It would be nice if we got to see Bud fight Danny or Shawn! That would help build up Spence vs. Crawford!

Interesting... If either one would actually be clear favorite with the odds, I would definitely bet for the underdog. I would still assume that they would be pretty near to each other, but that's just my guess. Who even knows when/if we will see the fight...

Crawford has stopped his last 6 opponents consecutively so you're wrong.

Right. A lot of people are trying to fast track Crawford to Spence, but Crawford has done literally nothing at 147.

So the books would have Crawford a “clear favorite.” Very interesting

T Crawford would clean out the PBC WW stable. Why isn't Spence asking for unification bout with Crawford? Not one PBC WW pursuing Bud's Championship Belt!

And right after Crawford loses to Spence .... Here's what everyone will say:

Crawford was exposed .....
Crawford wasn't ready .....
Crawford should have stayed at 140lbs.

I like both Crawford and Spence. But I don't think Crawford is facing the same level of competition as Spence or competition that would expand his resume\skillset. Arum needs to start promoting him better or he'll stay at the same level past his prime.

Spence is already lining up a fight with either Manny or Garcia post-Porter.

Crawford is only being discussed by folks like ESPN, who are asking the question: When will Terence Crawford get his megafight?

And the answer is .... who knows?!?!?

Ask Arum, who appears to be short of credible opponents for his best WW. Fighting the Amir Kcons of the world isn't preparing Crawford for a fight with Spence - not by a long shot.

I can't really make my mind up about where Spence stands now compared to how he did. Sure he struggled and was made to look bad through a lot of the fight, but Porter's a top fighter and at the end of the day I still think Spence clearly won, and it's the best win on paper that he's had since he took the title from Kell Brook. I also don't really see how this changes the odds in regards to Crawford - Porter exposed some holes but Crawford and Porter really couldn't be any more different as fighters. For all his skill, I have a really hard time seeing Crawford emulating the same kind of violent, in-your-face assault that Porter employed to such effect in this fight. I do think this fight probably takes a little bit of Spence's hype away but it's important not to overreact.
