Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter Pick

Terence Crawford in Rounds 7-12 (+350)

Fight fans across the globe prepare to enjoy the return of a modern-day gladiator and great of the boxing game. Terence Crawford, considered by many to be the main danger to Saul Alvarez’s claim to the pound for pound champion, steps back into the ring when meeting Shawn Porter at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas this weekend. The bout plays out before a capacity crowd with millions more worldwide watching the action live on television and pay per view. If you are a fan of boxing or combat sports in general, this will feel like an early Christmas present. Boxing really is flying at the minute.

The WBO world welterweight title is on the line here as Crawford puts his belt at risk in the hope of claiming another respected scalp. Followers of the noble art always knew Bud would fight again before the end of the year but weren’t sure who the opponent would be. Terence seemed to have beaten all worthy challengers in several different weight categories already.

The scene is set for Crawford to make another successful defense and take a step closer to the big money fight we all know he deserves. He may not have the confident personality to sell a bout to a huge PPV audience or even the drive to drum up interest and help sell his fights, but what Crawford does have is the skills to pay the bills. He lets his fists do the talking, as any of his previous 37 opponents will confess.

Terence Crawford vs Shawn Porter Predictions

Terence Crawford has beaten each of the previous 37 opponents placed in front of him, and he’ll be expected to stretch that hit list to 38. The 34-year-old champion arrives on the back of another impressive outing, beating Britain’s former welterweight world champion Kell Brook inside four rounds. That victory came at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, but it was 12 months ago now. It was thought Bud would have fought before now, but he’ll be eager to get back in the right and continue his hot streak. There may be some signs of rust in the early rounds, but Team Crawford would have prepared for that and factored a slow start into their game plan. The champion is likely to use his skills and boxing IQ to work his way into the contest, which rules out a fast start or early knockout win.

Picking through the stats of Crawford’s recent form, we note he has won each of his last eight by KO/TKO, with the most recent points victory coming back in 2016 against Viktor Postol, a man very few fighters are able to get rid of. Terence stopped Amir Khan in six rounds, Jeff Horn in nine and Julius Indongo before the end of the third. Those figures suggest to those who haven’t had the privilege of watching Bud fight that he’s a real knockout artist and a heavy hitter, but that’s not the case. Instead, the fighting pride of Omaha, Nebraska, relies on his speed and accuracy to finish opponents. We should see more of the same here.
