This content is protected Look, we can all crack jokes about Crawford's paper-thin resume of Postol, midget Gamboa and nobody else. We can sing Crawford's praises and how everyone else is terrified to get in the ring with him. I'm sure both sides will crow here. But let's instead focus on the fact that this is legit one of the best fights to be made at Welterweight, and if the WBO has its way, then this fight is happening. LET'S GO!!!!!
great fight. i could see both getting dropped. this will be crawfords biggest challenge to date, and none too soon. i will take crawford by 2 rds.
Porter is about to get his ass beat, you can bet the house on it. I don’t make know it all predictions, but few fights I’ve been more sure of.
The beautiful things about this is whether Top Rank get Crawford a fight or not, they have to pay him his remaining 3 plus million left on his contract come October. If I was Crawford (or Porter), I'd let this go to purse bid...you know Haymon, Hearn & Triller will bid like crazy for this fight. And Crawford will get paid twice, once from the purse bid winner (if it's not Top Rank) and second from Top Rank who has to honor the remaining financial of his contract once it expires in October.
Top Rank can't stop this...it's a mandatory. They either need to negotiate the fight or win the purse bid.
