Crawford vs Porter Prediction
Shawn Porter remains the big betting underdog heading into this bout. He might not win every fight but he’s in every fight. Only losing three times in his career, by razor-thin decisions. Porter is a throwback fighter who takes on the best of the best and puts it all on the line.
He’s got an incredible engine that could give “Bud” some real trouble he hurts him. Porter will indeed be Crawford’s biggest test to date and it’s not going to be a walk down. Expect Porter to be in this fight for every second, especially in the early rounds as the aggressor. Porter will need to look for gaps in Crawford’s defense, which we all known are there. One of Porter’s main advantages over Crawford is his athleticism, he can use this to leap into the pocket, exchange, and dip out again. He isn’t the most accurate puncher but he lands at a high volume.
As the fight progresses I see Crawford closing the distance and minimize Porter’s more powerful shots. Crawford is almost equally as good fighting in southpaw as he is orthodox, this is something he might want to switch up after he’s finished download a few rounds of Porter’s best moves.
I see two different scenarios playing out with Crawford getting his hand raised from either outcome. That this fight plays like a chess match, but a high-level exciting one. Both fighters have their moments but Porter proves to be too allusive for Crawford to cause real damage too. On the other side, I’m going with the more bold prediction that Crawford finds his rhythm and catches Porter with an upper as he’s leaning down.
Crawford will have a significant reach advantage and is coming into this fight on an eight-fight KO winning streak. That will give him the confidence to finish Porter, even though he has never been finished before.

Porter Plans to Cause Crawford Problems
Shawn Porter recently pointed out that he is the best opponent Terence Crawford has agreed to fight in any division, not just the most formidable welterweight Crawford will have encountered.
“I mean, that’s the confidence you’re supposed to bring to the ring,” Porter said. “Beyond that, I have looked at his resume. I’ve dissected everybody he’s been in the ring with, and I just think that I have a combination of things that no one he’s been in the ring with to this point has had.”
The 33-year-old Porter spoke while a video clip of his victory over Danny Garcia aired to promote their November 20 bout in Las Vegas.
“You see right there power,” Porter said, “being able to get low, get to the body, the head movement, head shots, up and down. I can mix it up. I know that Terence can, too, which is what makes this a great fight. But that, along with the confidence, along with the skills, the preparation, everything that I do, that’s why I guarantee a victory. But every fighter should go into the ring guaranteeing victory. I just know it to be so.”
Winner Faces Errol Spence Next?
While Spence was the pound for pound #1 for some time. Crawford has emerged as an early betting favorite for a future potential welterweight clash.
The pre-car crash and eye injury version of Spence would likely have been favored over Crawford. Unfortunately, Spence may not ever be the fighter he was before those two problems happened with him.
