Comments Thread For: Shawn Porter Aims To Secure Spence vs. Garcia Winner

[JakeTheBoxer]

C'mon really, TC afraid of Porter? LOL... let's keep it 100%, Shawn is a great guy, very respectful, well spoken, likable, friendly & humble although can you imagine TC landing punches on Shawn at will, conveniently like Formella did?? TC switch hitting with severe conviction on Shawn would definitively cause Pops Porter to throw the towel in around round 9-10... undoubted... TC's punching angels, feet technique, tenacity way different and superior over Spence resulting in serious damage to Shawn.

Porter would be the best man Crawford has ever fought, so we don`t know.

Crawford is not tested at elite level.

If your theory was correct Garcia & Spence would make Crawford an offer. Unfortunately they won't and that's where your theory falls apart.



The more likely scenario is for Garcia and Spence's promotional team to offer Crawford nothing and instead demand Crawford's promoter pay a ridiculous amount just so that they can claim that they tried. That is my theory and so far, Keith has proven me right. It will be fun to see if everyone else does the same.

Thurman, Garcia and Spence; One can make a compelling argument that Shawn Porter won all three of them. They were all razor thin close decisions.

Shit, he won't allow Crawford to breathe. He would be in his ass all night long.

Besides, I don't believe that Crawford has either the size or the power to seriously hurt Shawn Porter. So how is Bud going to keep Shawn off of him; By running and holding?

That's all he can do against Shawn Porter. Porter's high workrate and punch volume would be a lot for Terence to overcome because Porter is going to make it a dog fight; Rough, rugged and physical.

Crawford said pay Keith, Arum said Keith is demanding too much and without ticket sales it's impossible. The negotiations had nothing to do with Bud and based upon your comment I assume you simply didn't know that. More over, Keith's promotional team refuses to even make Crawford an offer because they are afraid he'll take it. I'll Bet you didn't know that one either.

Then where was the counter offer by Top Rank if Team Thurman wanted $10 mil?

^^Right there.

Bud/Bob could literally just put out a counter offer of $3 mil and no one would say he was ducking.

They're too afraid Thurman would take it

You are exactly right! Crawford knows that he doesn't want that smoke from Thurman.

[Dle]

Shawn, you don’t want that smoke again, especially with a. more serious & focused Spence (that you guys will see when Danny retreats). You welts are delusional to think that Spence is weakened from the accident as if he lost his title or something. The only title he gave up was to the Ferrari that was lost

You're correct, Porter has a high punch rate with average fighters, Garcia, Thurman, Spence, Formella... come 2nd round with TC, Shawn will be tasting leather he's not seeing coming from all angels with serious intentions... when this happens as we've seen many times, the punch activity slows way down, the foot comes off the pedal just trying to defend and slow down the pain being inflected upon. TC too long, slick & powerful for Shawn... Pops Porter has to save Shawn from a beat down... btw, what happened to Shawn's punch rate vs Ugas??

Ugas was throwing hard to the body when Porter charged in. Had Porter on his bike after feeling a couple of those.

[Removed Now]

Two time welterweight champ. pretty good for B fighter.

I think he pick the belt at 154, if he moves up.

Really ? Which 154lb title holder you think he can beat ?
