Wild prediction: Porter KO’s Crawford. If he stays tight and eats that body up, it’ll get Crawford out of there. He’s know for slow starts, so he will lose the first few rounds off inactivity trying to feel Porter out. Porters chin is real, and Crawford doesn’t hit harder than Spence, who is the only person almost sleep Porter. The only way Bud wins is points and that is if Porters foolishly chases him all night and gets pitty-patted to death and loses rounds. Bud is great inside but he can’t go toe-to-toe with Porter.
Nah! Bud hasn’t fought anyone close to Porters worst fight- which was Spence and Thurman. He fought too reckless in both. Bud can’t take that type of pressure let alone deal with any heat if Porter corners him and eats. He’s a stick and move fights like De La Hoya and others. He doesn’t have enough courage or power to trade with Porter. Porter in under 8 rounds.
Porter hasn't knocked down a fighter since 2917 and hasn't had a knockout victory in years.
Meanwhile bud has seriously hurt every fighter he's faced and had knockdowns for at least 10 or 11 fights in a row maybe more.
Porters chin, and physicality are his bets traits, but Bud has a wrestling background and it takes some serious physical strength to wrestle.
Bud has way more punch power and boxing IQ than porter, can move laterally and has way longer reach.
Yes Spence hits hard but his power is more of a break you down until you wilt.
Im my opinion Buds has more explosive one punch power that hits you and suprises you that you cant see coming.
Bud has serious hurt people from both stances with BOTH hands
Will be a good fight but I think Bud figures porter out and beats him.
