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

[Hypnosis00]

There's probably a lot of good fighters that are not in Top Rank, some boxers who left Top Rank were able to make a decision on their own on whom to fight and it's high time for Crawford to take the risk and don't just fight average level boxers just to keep his undefeated record.

We already have a lot of undefeated boxers, but no one could follow the achievement of Pacman, and he is the crowd favorite every time he fights, I guess that's why Crawford should follow.

If he wanted to create new hype in his name, following what Pacman did before will give him more exposures.

Maybe it's a big risk if fans will not buy his move and there're no promoters or not so big promoters that will cater for his fight.
His camp needs to make sure that before gambling to this decision, they already have someone who will help or will carry everything.

He needs to win first, then settle if there're any plans from his camp to do this kind of move.

That's correct because sometimes messing up with the promoter will result to a bad future, though Crawford is one of the best fighters in his generation he has to be smart, ensure that the new promoter can offer him a better opportunity if he will leave the top rank promotion, I'm sure there will be a lot of promoters that are interested on signing him since he is a champion and they make give him big fights if he will not resist.

It will be a good gamble on his side, I mean Crawford in on the prime of his career, he is a American (as compare to Pacquiao), so he has access to everything including good promoters. The thing with having promoters is that they will also have a huge paycut and you don't have the chance to face the champions of other big company like PBC. That's why this is a bold move of the part of Crawford to fought a fighter in PBC - Shawn Porter. It will be a step up and after he beats Porter, he can call the other champions like Ugas, or Thurman, or the other best welter - Spence Jr (although still recovering from the eye surgery).

Well, seeing their records and what they've done inside the ring, I assume this has a good fight, really has.
But I put my bets for Terence, not just because he has a clean record (0-losses), he also has the reach advantage. Well, I expect higher odds for Terence Crawford as he was more popular as he was linked to Manny for a possible fight before he ends his boxing carrier.

You won't be seeing high odds for Terrence Crawford as he is the Favorite in this match. High odds are given not to the dominant one. Being linked to Manny also no relation for the odds change.

If you really like to bet on Crawford, expect odds are not that profitable unless you are ready to bet a big amount.

Try checking some sportsbooks now and see for yourself if it's profitable.

He can still get a good odds, but not on ML.

Hopefully, crypto bookies will open up a line for handicaps. And that's where the fun begins as we are going to look for attractive odds, like per round, or the exact round or even KO win for Crawford.

Betting options like Winner by either TKO or Decision and in what round the fight will end always have good odds. Since the fight is about a month to go, some betting options are not lived yet. While the fight is approaching, we can expect that more options will be open.

But I will not place a bet for either of those. It's crazy and difficult for me to predict what round it will end or how the match will decide.

[Kemarit]

^^ But that's where the money is, huge risk, huge rewards,  .

The exact rounds is really difficult, at least you have to bet 3 rounds, like 7/8/9 to at least have a good chance of winning. But then again you need to somewhat compute if it's worth it because it the end you might end up losing.

Or the round range (7-9), might not give a higher odds with the exact rounds, but still very attractive as compare to ML or Crawford.

[bbc.reporter]

@Kemarit. Nitrogensports had their odds offers for over and under set on 10.5 rounds, however, they have removed it. Considering that it might still be on 10.5 rounds, I reckon the round 7-9 range might be a good bet if you speculate under 10.5 rounds. Terence Crawford’s tactics is perfect for Porter’s style. Terence can switch stance while retreating and hit Porter with a counter knockout punch!

@Boafeng. What is your prediction?

[Baofeng]

@Boafeng. What is your prediction?

I'm still go with my original prediction of the fight going into a full 12 rounds.

Shawn Porter is still very durable and I don't think that the Errol Spence Jr fight soften him in any form. He has been with tough fighters, like going into distance with Garcia and also Ugas and Thurman as well. His chin is still intact and it will carry him on this fight with Crawford. Porter is a relentless pressure fighter that can maintain the phase in 12 rounds.

So I will go against the popular opinion that this fight with be under 10.5.

I'm going with you, although Crawford is the favorite here, the interesting odds to bet is the over/under of the fight and this should go 12 rounds as no fighter has stopped Shawn Porter yet in a showdown. Crawford also understands that Porter has power, so his aggressiveness might only result in a mistake that will make him open and Porter will capitalize on that.

BTW, what betting sites already have this kind of odds?

[Maslate]

BTW, what betting sites already have this kind of odds?

I think no betting sites have offered that now.

I check the sites I'm using, both stake and sportsbet but there's only a limited odds where you can only put a bet on who will win straight up.
You can follow this, maybe they'll list it soon or next month.

Me either, I find it hard to predict what round will the match end or will this two fighters fight until the last second of round 12. But I heard that some are already predicting that this fight will not last for over 10 rounds.

My predicition is this will be end via split decision in the favor of Shawn Porter.
Porter had faced many tough fights and can withstand any opponent that has a reach advantage like this fight, although Crawford has a flawless record. I reckon he won't defeat my boy Porter tho.

That's a bold prediction but if you checked Porter's record in his fights he had a hard time with tall fighters, was beaten by Spence, and hardly escaped a decision against Ugas, if you analyze both fights he cannot get in without getting hit and we all know Crawford he is very good at shifting from right stance to left stance, this will be Porter's big problem come fight night.

This might be a big problem for him but as long as Porter survives, he has the chance to hurt Crawford and he is lucky to hit Crawford with his strongest punch, then this fight could be over. Actually, I like backing Porter here although people say that he has no chance, his aggressiveness makes me decide to spare a small amount for him to KO Crawford, I know it sounds stupid but this is just for fun.

Wow, that's a bold prediction indeed, the OP should add a poll and maybe we can see how many favors Porter and how many are on Crawford.

For me Porter lost on the Ugas fight, yes he is agressive, but Ugas tags him with both hands the whole fight. But Porter won so I guess he is really that durable and tough. But we all know that Crawford is very good fighter, he can play orthodox and then switch stance and has a good chin as well. Also he has a weapon a left uppercut, which is Porter weaknesses in his previous fight, just watch the Thurman fight and you will see that Thurman uses it a lot when Porter is trying to go inside.

There's no chance that Porter could win if the fight will reach to the judge's scorecard. Crawford is a champion and the challenger (Porter) has to convince the judges that he deserved to win the fight and not only being aggressive is the key, he should also be hitting his shots on Crawford to make that happen, and Crawford has to look struggling in the fight.

Who knows when luck will hit Porter, a solid punch can send Crawford to a KO,

Boxing have a lots of surprises, upset is always possible fighters can trigger a good hit or a combination that opponent won't be able to survive.

Porter have that capabilities, he is a strong puncher, if Crawford unable to avoid a solid punch from this guy, he have that chance being beated

and his undefeated record will be breakout. Sparing some coins is not bad if you want to add some excitement while watching the fight!

@Boafeng. What is your prediction?

I'm still go with my original prediction of the fight going into a full 12 rounds.

Shawn Porter is still very durable and I don't think that the Errol Spence Jr fight soften him in any form. He has been with tough fighters, like going into distance with Garcia and also Ugas and Thurman as well. His chin is still intact and it will carry him on this fight with Crawford. Porter is a relentless pressure fighter that can maintain the phase in 12 rounds.

So I will go against the popular opinion that this fight with be under 10.5.

I'm going with you, although Crawford is the favorite here, the interesting odds to bet is the over/under of the fight and this should go 12 rounds as no fighter has stopped Shawn Porter yet in a showdown. Crawford also understands that Porter has power, so his aggressiveness might only result in a mistake that will make him open and Porter will capitalize on that.

BTW, what betting sites already have this kind of odds?

It's not yet on sportsbet mate, but definitely as we get close to the fight date, they are going to list this and give us the handicap and the per round options. And all of Porter's lost are very close, definitely he was hurt but wasn't fully knock down. And that's why I said that this fight will be a back and forth and will go for full 12 rounds. Crawford will be tested here and we will see how great he is. If he won this fight then we can all give credit for him to really stepping up against a durable fighter like Porter.

I see, but is that over/under 10.5 rounds going to be listed soon?

I think if the public believes that Porter will last until 12 rounds and experts had the same thought, then probably offering 10.5 rounds would only give free money to the bettors. As a bettor, I would also look for an easy win and I would agree with you that Porter is very durable, so the chance this fight to go rounds of over 10.5 is probably around 80%.

[Naficopa]

As always, bookmakers favor the champion. However, I think there is really no favorite in this fight. Sure Crawford is undefeated, but that doesn't mean the good streak never ends. Personally, in my opinion, both of them have equal chances, but as I usually like supporting underdogs, I think I'll bet a few bucks on Porter.
