[Boxing]: Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter - Nov. 20

[laurenB7742]

This fight will risk the WBO Welterweight title belongs to crawford, I think in that fight Crawford clearly has a lot of advantages over porters, apart from an unbeaten boxer, Crawford will also of course try hard to defend his WBO title so that then he has a chance to fight spencer later, while Porter will certainly use the fight as an opportunity to show his quality and experience so far, although both boxers have their respective advantages in fighting, I personally predict that Crawford will be able to knock out Porter in that fight and also defend his title.

We do have different opinions, but for me, I just wanted to see an entertaining fight. Like all the fans wanted to see, knowing what type of fighter Porter is, Crawford needs to come up with the same intensity. Hopefully, it won't be like more on defense, but with good tactics, both can fight aggressively.
You mentioned it, Porter needs this exposure again. He's been given a chance to showcase again his skills and by that for sure the whole camp is preparing some interesting strategy that will enhance their chance to win against Crawford.

I guess I am kind of neutral in this fight. Both the fighters look pretty good to me and all I hope is that they can provide a show for the fans out there.  I personally am not supporting anyone in this match, all I'm waiting for is a good aggressive and attacking game from both the fighters. I hope the fighters don't get defensive and ruin the game for the fans like Lima and Santos match previously.

If Porter will be smart and fully prepared on this fight, he will give a very good toe-to-toe fight with Crawford, who is the heavy favorite on this match. So Crawford should really be prepared as well as not to lose that 0 record. For sure, Porter would not come inside the ring without a plan and just let Crawford dominate the fight. He is the challenger so let us see if he will be the aggressive one on this bout.

If Porter will be smart and fully prepared on this fight, he will give a very good toe-to-toe fight with Crawford, who is the heavy favorite on this match.

He always give a toe to toe fight to his opponent, I did not see a fight that Porter is not the aggressor, he is always in attack mode and if his opponent gets tired, that's the time he will take advantage to it.

So Crawford should really be prepared as well as not to lose that 0 record. For sure, Porter would not come inside the ring without a plan and just let Crawford dominate the fight. He is the challenger so let us see if he will be the aggressive one on this bout.

Porter has fought champions although he loses in the fight but he was never KO.

Against Errol Spence Jr, it was a split decision and against Thurman, it's a UD. So KO will not happen here as both Thurman and Spence are great boxers but they were not able to KO Porter. Terrence will use his quickness, his advanced boxing skills, but will be careful as he might get hurt and will experience his first loss.

If it goes to 12 rounds, Crawford will likely win, I hope Porter knows that os he will work hard and find a way to KO Crawford early. I know it's unlikely as Crawford is undefeated, but Porter always gives a tough fight on the fighters that beat him in his boxing career.

His work ethics is like that, he works very hard every fight and sometimes you think that his style in really awkward because he is a brawler. But he manage it very well, very effective and even won against the Manny conqueror and then Danny Garcia. So expect another tough fight for Crawford. He won't back up for sure because he wanted to proved that he is the best welterweight. But he need to pass the test first against a rugged fighter in Porter.

This should be a hard match for both the players but I bet that Crawford will be able to defend his title for the 6th straight time (if I'm not mistaken). Crawford has insane statistics of winning 37 games and losing none and having 27 knockouts. That's some incredible stat out there. Unless Porter tries to finish the game early, he will barely have any chance to survive this match. Either he will knockout Crawford within the first couple of rounds or he loses, it's as easy as that.

Crawford is the favourite here, yes, he is undefeated but he himself admit that it will be going to be a hard match because he hasn't seen a fighter like Porter. So he is well prepared but so is Shawn who also talks about bringing the best version of him against Crawford.

I doubt though that he can knock out Crawford in the first couple of rounds. This will be a hard and grind fight which favours Porter. There could be very close rounds that is hard to judge or score.

If Crawford can't slow down Porter, then expect that he will get tired in the later rounds as Porter does not get tired, he keeps attacking like a bull to make his opponent tired. That's his style, he doesn't have a fancy style in boxing, he is easy to predict but it's hard to knock him out, the chance of Crawford here if he can't knock out Porter, is he should use his boxing skills wisely, he'll win in the judges scorecards.

Crawford is the crowd favorite here because of his undefeated record (37-0 and 28KO) and it is such an amazing record to be honest and the talent that this boxer has was unquestionable too, excellent jab, power, ring IQ and killer instinct are his main assets inside the ring but Shawn Porter was also claiming that he is already a well-experienced fighter that Terence Crawford shouldn't have to take easily. This will be an anticipated fight between the two strong fighter but this time I'll go bet on Crawford instead.

You are right, but he was well protected by Bob Arum that he hasn't face another tough opposition after getting the belt from Jeff Horn. And that's why boxing critics has been asking him to fight higher quality opponents to really show how great he is as you describe, specially his ring IQ. But it will be tough for him against an also experience Porter who has been with the best in the ring. It could be Crawford that would win this fight but I'm not expecting hi to knock out Porter

Crawford could dominate but Porter is a different animal, he hasn't been knocking out in a fight yet and his losses were against the best fighters in the division. I would also not expect a KO, but probably if Crawford knows how to dance with Porter, he will still win by an Unanimous decision after 12 rounds.

Of the last two fights of Porter against Thurman and Spence, I see that he remains consistent with his style, his opponents just have better skills than him so he lose. Anyway, time for him to test the skills of Crawford, and let's see if he could handle the pressure of Porter.

Both Crawford and Porter do have that punch that can put them on KO. They are both in-fighter and that's their specialty. I don't consider Crawford as a favorite and dominant on that fight as Porter is also the same. This fight is unpredictable. Even Crawford seems to have an advantage, we can't just treat Porter as an underdog.

Hard to bet on this close match at any betting options. Need a deep analysis unless choosing based on favorites.

Maybe people are considering Crawford as favorite here because the odds from sportsbooks are clear that they are heavily favoring Crawford to win this match. Just look at the odds, 1.x vs 4.x, in favor of Crawford. So, these numbers are saying that they are rooting for Crawford to win on this match. Porter is underdog and the odds are good if you want to place a bet on him. At least, your money will increase several times if there will be an upset.

Maybe accumulation of punches, not not one punch ko that will put them to sleep. Both of them are not well know power punchers. If paper Crawford could be the favourite because he has no lost so far and the champion. But Porter as well has become a champion in the past and fought a lot of great WW.

This fight could be close and could extend to 12 rounds and going to be back and forth fight. With no clear winner. That's how I see it, to go the judges to settle the winner.

If this fight goes to the judges' scorecards, I can see that there is already a clear winner as that means Crawford was able to take the punches of Porter and we know that Crawford base is the better boxer based on the previous matches and that is his advantage on why I believe that he will win.

IMO, it would be fun to watch if someone will be knockdown, I still have a hangover on the Wilder vs Fury fight, I like that scenario of fight to be seen in this fight.

Crawford has a higher chance to win this fight since he hasn't been suffered any losses especially with a kind of opponent like Shawn Porter. Like any other boxers who haven't been lost, I think their opponent needs to give them a hard time just by the start of the rounds. Crawford is not known for his power punches but he has some deadly technique which makes him win this fight easily if Shawn doesn't have any solid strategy to give in this upcoming fight.

Shawn's strategy is to really bring the fight to Terrence. From the first round he is going to be the aggressor and then go with volume puncher. It might not hit Crawford straight in the jaw, but for sure makes him uncomfortable, just like what Shawn did to Spence, as he push him to the limit. And also the same with the Ugas fight, just going at Ugas and he won by a decision. So I think that will be his main strategy in this fight.

That's always been the strategy of Shawn Porter and he has had a lot of success using that strategy.

Look at the fight between him and Spence and you can see how Spence was pressured in that fight, Shawn Porter has been hitting Spence too that's why the fight ended close in the judges' scorecards and this is the only fight of Spence that ended in Split Decision, most of his wins are via TKO, KO, and UD.

Shawn will sure to give Crawford a hard time as he will need to have ways to give Crawford a good match. It will be a test for Crawford but he’s strength and if he can study and provide a good strategy to win vs porter will help in winning. It will be a fight to lookout on how Crawford will execute winning or if Shawn will pull Crawford at loss. Hopefully, they will both show a different strategy that is not yet seen by their previous match to make their match more exciting.

I'm sure Porter will give Crawford a tough time here because Porter is not an easy opponent, in terms of style, I don't think there's still something to change, we know Porter, his aggressiveness is always very evident in every fight and I don't think this fight will be an exemption.

They said Crawford was able to maintain his undefeated record because he chooses not to fight a caliber fighter, well, here's the fight that we are looking for.

This is the fight where fans will really enjoy,

Porter is an aggressive fighter. He loves throwing punches, and he loves countering his opponent's attacks. Very interesting
for all boxing fans seeing him showing again this kind of tempo during the fight.

It's true that Crawford will be tested here. He needs to show his fans that he is also capable of bringing the fight to toe to toe.
Good catch for bettors who love taking the risk here. Porter is one of those good calibers who can upset.

Chances of winning are more likely equal, in my opinion. One single mistake from the champ will cause him losing his belt.

That's why this fight is really exciting to watch, Crawford has never faced a strong fighter like Porter before, we will see how he would handle the aggressive attack of Porter here, and if Top Rank is really protecting the undefeated record of Crawford, then they must see this fight an easy fight for Crawford, but we cannot guarantee that he will dominate as Porter is not a leftover fighter.

Will this 37-0 turns 38-0 or 37-1?
