    Most people had Porter up, even the judges and once Crawford caught wind if that he actually woke up

    Canelo is built like a tank, Crawford is not bigger than him, he might be bulking up, but it'll show on fight night.

    It's not like he woke up and just stopped him. He broke him down to the body all night. Porter got his ass beat all night. He was beat until his body failed him.

    Nobody should be shocked when crawford dominates this fight anywhere it goes, inside and out. Also, crawford will be the stronger man fightnight. Your not gonna see him pick crawford up like he tries to do. Crawford will slam that puto on his head.
    Can't wait.
    Dont be shocked.

    Crawford appears bigger in the photos. Do you think our eyes are deceiving us?

    I mean, we will see on fight night, but I remember people saying the same in the build-up up the Khan-Canelo and Garcia-Spence fights, and after rehydration and in the ring, the differences were pretty clear.

    His trainer said he's been having a difficult time making weight at 147 and 154, and he will be stronger and more comfortable fighting at 168. He goes up to 175 between fights.

    Crawford for the points win i believe, though i am sure at least one judges scorecard will be awry, whats new?

    This is not Crawford and his teams first rodeo, i can't see Crawford has gone up two weights just for the payday.

    Within hours we will know the result.

    Hey @CST80 I was banned during the RBR but I don’t think I was far off the mark, so far I’m 3-0 for recent PPV… we all agree PAC was robbed, I was for Rolly when he was vs Garcia… let’s not talk about Bakole vs Parker :lol: bloody hell, I wonder if Crawford will make a run for Mayweathers record…

    Glad that you're back! That's a hell of a run, congrats! Although if you factor in all of the robberies, including Martinez vs. Mbilli on the undercard. Had I got credit for them, I wouldn't be doing bad either.:lol:

    :lol: How’d you fare for the Nelo vs Crawford bout? did it grind your gears as much as mine that, that insufferable boring as bread and cardboard Terry UD’d our visually bored, frustrated and very stiff (even for Nelo) 37 year old Messiah?… not one combo was thrown by Nelo that night, but that’s been increasingly common… I’ve said it for a while that Alvarez is tired, I think if I was Nelo’s management… 175lbs is calling? Better to take on more then you can chew then going out with a whimper… I think his style can still work as he goes up, Artur is looking really old… but against these lighter men with good legs and so much boiled off his style? I don’t want to see him lose to someone he shouldn’t, I laugh at the whole “Crawford is the GOAT now”… wasn’t Nelo just a fraud cherry picker last month? They’re the same F-ing size, Crawford a former wrestler he understands the weight game Nelo lost to a really good fighter it happens sometimes lol. I’m very pissy that i was right , I wanted Canelo to knock his block off now 40 years from now I’ll have to live to see him called “grossly underrated” and treated like a Demi God in classic. Canelo to me is the last true pro active, he’s real old school and wouldn’t shame himself in any era and I hope to see him continue, mature and evolve into a PED fueled Hopkins style grey hair run.
