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

[Jawhead999]

Amazing fight both Crawford and Porter, they really give their best performance in the ring. Honestly the first 7 rounds I was think Porter might win this fight since he's really dominate rather than Crawford even he got a cut on round 3 but that's doesn't stop him. But after Porter got knock out multiple times, the Porter's father need to stop the fight on round 10. I feel bad for Porter, if he could survive the last 3 rounds and not knocked out, I think he will win this match.

Great performance and a well-deserved win by Crawford Porter's father stopped the fight after Porter suffered two knock downs

That's the instinct of the father to protect his son from further damage. After that second knockdown, Porter doesn't have the legs anymore to continue competitively so that's a good decision by the father to stop the fight.

Damn, lost my bet but that's okay as the fight was very exciting and personally I have Porter leading the scores going into the 10th round.

This is also my first thought on why Kenny Porter stop the fight and wave the white flag.

They are talking about war and yes, Shawn really bring it to Crawford and it was even a very close fight up to the 10th round and that knock down. Probably if he continue it might go to 12th rounds and you might won your bet my Porter is already spent and could suffer a worst knockdown in his career. So good call by his father/trainer to stop the fight.

Yeah, I have him winning some early rounds in my book and score is tied going to the 10th round.

Porter though seems to be not that aggressive, like in the Spence fight. Maybe he was really avoiding those counter left from Crawford. And the body shot by Crawford took a toll on Porter in the 10th rounds as it's obvious that he has no more legs.

I don't think he will win though, Crawford can get that last 3 rounds in the official judges scorecard.

Yes the fight is very close until that 2 knockdowns, Crawford played a perfect game plan he knew that Porter will go for it and try to make it a slugfest, but Crawford is a brilliant tactician he figure out Porter by setting up the counter punches, the counter punches are well time Crawford has everything Porter's every move, I believe this seal him as the best welterweight, it's up to Spence and Ugas to accept the challenge and resolve who is the best.

[Russlenat]

Great win by Crawford, it was a tough competition for him but he proved to the world that he is the best in the division and better than those who previously beat Porter as he was the only one who knock Porter in his entire career in boxing. Also, good job for those who bet on Crawford to win by KO, especially those who predicted what round the KO will happen.

I did bet on Crawford winning by KO at the last minute:



I just thought that if someone is going to knockout Porter, it could be Crawford. Bud's power is underrated, but I see the fight like the Jeff Horn in which he always tag Horn coming in.

And this is what happen in this fight, yes, Porter has some moments, but Crawford is just waiting for the right time to counter and score a knock down.

He made Porter tired and really look for the right counter. The strategy works and he KO Porter which made the fans impressed with his performance. Congratulations on your win mate, that was a sweet 2.82 odds for that fight is the easiest. Who's next in line? I think Bob will not worry anymore of giving Crawford a big fight as he has proven he can beat a tough boxer in an impressive way.

That was a risky bet indeed, and a nice analysis between both fighters.

Impressive performance from Crawford again and Porter showed impressive performance as well. However there could only 1 winner in case of TKO. Crawford outperformed Porter on this fight, but they both showed good performances.
IMO, the turning point of this fight was when Crawford hit Porter with a hard body shot in the 8th round which drained Porter's energy almost automatic.
That I guess weakens his legs from the that point till the 10th round that's the reason why he was so upset during the 2nd knock down.

Wow, congrats mate, that's a good win. I didn't see it coming as i think that Porter could take Crawford's power shot. The fight was just like the Horn fight but Porter just gave him a hard time at the first few rounds because of Porter's good head movement.

Errol Spence might be in the making as he was in the building watching, hope Bob would give this fight to the fans.

@bbc.reporter, yeah, with the win Bob should respect him more and gives Terrence Crawford what he deserves.

Errol Spence is his greatest rival, unfortunately, we don't know yet when Spence will be available after his eye operation. Not only Bob will be confident but Crawford as well because he beat Porter which has not been KO's ever since. If Spence is not available, maybe let's give Thurman a chance to fight him, I think that would be a better fight also.

After his loss to Terence Crawford, Shawn Porter just announced his retirement from boxing

He later revealed that, regardless of the result, he had planned to end a boxing career that yielded two reigns as world welterweight champion.

Not a good way to retire or end one's career but he has a career as a boxing analyst, we'll see more of Porter as a boxing analysts he is good at this.

[aioc]

Another turn of even Crawford made the right decision of leaving Bob Arum's top rank

“Bob couldn’t secure me the Spence fight when I was with him, so how is he gonna secure me the Spence fight when I’m not with him? I’m moving forward with my career right now and I wish everybody the best.”

A great fighter like Crawford not only wants money but also legacy and if he stays on an organization that cannot give him fights that can define him as one of the pound for pound boxers he will just waste his talent, he needs to move forward and find a better organization, Bob Arum is useless as a promoter.

Going into the fight i placed a bet on Terence Crawford to win the fight but Shawn Porter surprised me with his resilience as he was trying to win the fight even in the eight round but the ninth round changed the fight completely, before the fight i never gave any chance for Shawn Porter even though i thought he would give a fight in the first two rounds but he was strong even after that.

This is a smart decision by his father and great that Porter is not against with it.
He fought a good one with Crawford, did his best and people will remember him as a toe-to-toe boxer.
Better save his health for his future. Because boxing is not the only life out there.

Let's hope to see Crawford and Spence Jr soon.
Arum maybe is busy thinking about his business not the future of the boxer.

I'm just seeing Crawford's victory blazing over porter's face 
His gonna beat him to a pulp in the ring as he usually does   well i believe since they have fought countless times together in the ring, then maybe,to my own discretion, porter should be able to realize his weak points and aim harder for victory this time around

not anymore, porter is already retiring from this sports. he is done with boxing after this crawford fight. but i can say, porter had a great performance in the first rounds as he was somewhat leading. but he got tired and crawford made his strategy worked.
though some are saying not a good way to retire after the loss, but look at pacquiao with ugas. i guess, the boxer himself knows his limits. and no matter what their fans are saying, they should stand their ground and leave the sports in decent exit.

What's next for Crawford then? Looking for him to compete next with the best-of-the-best after this winning against Shawn Porter. Watching it live yesterday (at my time), we can see already on the early rounds the distance between these 2 fighters.

Kudos to Shawn Porter though that he try to keep up with his phase. Crawford is just too much to handle.

If he no longer signs with Top Rank and be a free agent then a lot of fights could be made.

But we all know what we wanted, a Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr, for unification of the Welterweight division and to see who are the best.

Both are undefeated, and still at the prime of their careers and this could be the biggest fight in 147 lbs since Floyd vs Manny Pacquiao.

Crawford said in the post fight interview that he doesn't think the fight was close.

But here are the judges scorecard:

87-84, on Max De Luca - Crawford
Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld, 86-85 Crawford

So still it is a very close match, maybe we could see a split decision.

But anyhow, the judges scorecard didn't matter as he scored a knock out win.
