As always, if you 17 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: don't want spoilers, I know some people are like, why 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 1: are you doing this as a service? Why would people 19 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: be here if they didn't want spoilers. I will tell 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: you they will get mad if you don't tell them 21 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: that there are spoilers coming. But in fact there are, 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: so if you don't want them, now's the time to go. 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: All right. So with that out of the way, let's 24 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: get this party started, shall we. Okay, let me turn 25 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: this off. There we are, so if you are here, 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,959 Speaker 1: you are looking for results, let's talk about them. Terrence 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: Crawford defeats Sean Porter via TKO. He becomes the first 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: fighter to stop him, although there is a little controversy 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: about it, but hear me out for just a second. 30 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: This was at the michelob Ultra Arena, I believe, at 31 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: the Mandala Bay, and of course he retained his WBO 32 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: Welterway title. Mandalay Bay my favorite of the Vegas casinos 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: slash hotels that are on the strip. I don't like 34 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: staying on the strip if I can have it. The 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: Vedara is nice, the signature is nice because there's actually 36 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: no casino in them. But if you have to stay 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: in a casinoe hotel, I prefer Mandali Bay because it's 38 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the strip, a little less riff 39 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: raff walking down the street, just walking on in. So 40 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: there's a little recommendation from old doctor Saltan Pepper. Okay, 41 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: let's talk about this, so Bud Crawford wins. Let me 42 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: pull up my notes from this because they are somewhat extensive. 43 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: That was an incredible performance. Here, I'm gonna read you 44 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: some of the CompuBox stats, although I don't know that 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: really tell you the story of the fight. I have 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: to say, Sean Porter made a really strong account of himself. 47 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 1: I gave him the first three of the four rounds. 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,399 Speaker 1: I gave around four to Crawford. That was the first 49 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: one I gave. You could have given some other ones. 50 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: A lot of the rounds were close, some more action 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 1: pack than others, some some hard to call because you 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: couldn't you know, there wasn't a huge difference in volume, 53 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: There wasn't a huge difference in some of the would 54 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: appeared to be how hard that they were landing. But 55 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: in the end, dude, Bud Crawford is just a boxing savant. 56 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: You are living in an age of somebody of incredible ability. 57 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: You know, Sean Porter has been tested by the very 58 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: best his generation has to offer. And most of the time, 59 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: even when the guys win, you know, they come out 60 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 1: of there a little bit roughed up on the other end, 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: and Bud took some licks tonight, to be clear. But 62 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: his offensive abilities are just He's extraordinary, I will say. 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: But Sean Porter Man, he made such a strong account 64 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: of himself as I mentioned him the three of the 65 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: first four rounds. But beyond that, like, what did he 66 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: really do in this fight that I found so impressive? 67 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: You know, you're not gonna land on Bud Crawford very easily, right, 68 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's gonna be hard to do, Like to 69 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: land a clean shot on him. He either has to 70 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: make a mistake or you have to do something really, really, 71 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: really good. It's not gonna happen otherwise. The first thing 72 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: I noticed that he was doing, and you heard Timothy 73 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: Bradley talk about it, but let's talk about it in detail. 74 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: I thought this stance that and the defensive choices that 75 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: Porter was making and then alternating between them was great. 76 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: So what do I mean by that? He had two 77 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: main stances, although he had other ones as well, but 78 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: he had two main ones. One was he had a 79 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: really low crouch. You saw a lot of transitioning later 80 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: in the fight to uppercuts from Crawford to body shots 81 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: right to Crawford. Two Porter I should say to kind 82 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: of counteract that. But He had this kind of low 83 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: stance where he would come in weaving, maybe throw it overhand, 84 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: maybe start to the body, then throw it overhand. But 85 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: he was kind of planted, right, I mean he was mobile, 86 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: he was moving, but he was planted. He would switch 87 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: from that to a bouncing style front and back and 88 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: almost at this exact rhythm. So if you're bouncing on 89 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: your toes like this, and for MMA fans who are watching, 90 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: you would know exactly who does this. You know, there's 91 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: a lot of guys. Actually you could point to a couple. 92 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: Robert Whitaker would be a great example. You know, obviously 93 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: to using it for MM purposes in different ways, but 94 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: you know, bouncing and then blitzing. So he had this 95 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: kind of low crowd stance he was using for a 96 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of bodywork, a lot of entries, right. He was 97 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: trying to make from far away that he would go 98 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: to the bounce style. And he even had like a 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: third one, actually a fourth one. Even he had a 100 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 1: third one where he would get he would bounce, get 101 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: a little bit close and then he would go high 102 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: hands up here sort of expecting contact, walking through anything 103 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: that Crawford was throwing to get close to him, and 104 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: then on the inside just sort of trying trying to 105 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: dictate the clinch if he could that that was one 106 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: another one there was beyond those. But so it's not 107 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: just the stance that you get in where your hands 108 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: are in a certain position and you're bouncing where your 109 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: feet are planted. It's that when you get in that stance, 110 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: a certain kind of offense and rhythm and choice has 111 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: to go behind it, right, So it dictates the kind 112 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: of fight you can offer an opponent given the realities 113 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: of of the of that context you're setting in the 114 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: context either being you're planted with a low stance, up 115 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: on your toes and you're moving, those dictate what you 116 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: can do. And so he was making without switching stances really, 117 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: although he did do some shifting as he moved into 118 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: range sean porter. But you get the idea, like, so 119 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: Crawford is trying to get a read on like is 120 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: this dude, like what what is what weapons is he 121 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: looking for from what ranges? Based on the stances, it 122 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: was a lot to offer him, and I think at 123 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: first it gave him a lot of problems. Another thing 124 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: I noticed he was doing through the course of the 125 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: fight was that you know, he didn't want to clinch 126 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: with Crawford, like he wanted to get in close with 127 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: him and then back them up against the ropes. But 128 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: he didn't obviously want to wrestle with him if that 129 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: could at all be avoided. And so what you saw 130 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: was he would try and punch with Crawford as Crawford 131 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: would try to like underhook and hold him so that 132 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: the referee would actually never intervene. He would almost do 133 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 1: the referee's job for him by like you know, just 134 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: sort of going berserk with the punches. It had some 135 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: effect early. It was actually pretty early, quite effective, I 136 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: actually thought, and and yeah, I mean that that was 137 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: really what he was kind of working with. He saw 138 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: a lot of doubling of the jab, a lot of 139 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: tripling of the jab. You heard Bud Crawford talk about 140 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: it after the fact of how many chances he had 141 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: to take to kind of get into range. All that 142 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: is true, But I thought, man, this guy came with 143 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: a lot of different looks, a lot of different weapons, 144 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: a lot of different things for Bud Crawford to think 145 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: about as he's trying to do what he was doing 146 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and he was landing, he was getting good work in 147 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: I thought a lot of some of the overhands were 148 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: landing early. I don't look at the I have to 149 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: look at the numbers too, but the body work was 150 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about that in just a second, but dude, 151 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: it was. It was great. And then there were other parts, 152 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: like halfway through the fight where you could see Crawford 153 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: was making some adjustments, which we'll talk about just a second. 154 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: You could see that the rounds were getting a little 155 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: bit closer. Sean didn't quite have the same energy, but 156 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: at times he would just kind of outwork him a 157 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: little bit. So you have this great prepper. It seemed 158 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: to us his dad fucking buried him. Golly man. I 159 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: was like, I understand dad's wanting to be harsh ands 160 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: and whatnot, but that was my god, chill, you're you're 161 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: I mean, Jesus lord, Okay, anyway, you get the idea 162 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: I thought he came with would look to be a 163 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: great game plan. He seemed to be in shape to me, 164 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: you know, whatever that is worth, and uh, you know, 165 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,119 Speaker 1: he wanted it. He why clearly wanted it. He fought 166 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: and he fought to win. Sean Porter fought to win 167 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 1: and depending on your scorecard. You may have had him 168 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: up by the time the tenth round came around when 169 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: he got dropped twice, and ultimately his dad calls it. 170 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: I didn't I had Crawford up, but certainly through I 171 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: think I had it four rounds to two for Porter 172 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: through the first six, through the first six, but I 173 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: think seven, eight nine is when it began to switch. 174 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna go through the scores here, and I'm 175 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: gonna go through these numbers just a second. But let's 176 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 1: talk about Bud Crawford and what he did. You heard 177 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: Timothy Bradley talk a little bit about it for some 178 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: of the MMA fans who watch this, and you watched 179 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: this week's Morning Combat extra credit. We talked about dot 180 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: Ung Jung right, and what he was doing constantly touching 181 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: with that lead hand. Of course, that's an MMA context 182 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: for an MMA purpose, But what I mean to say 183 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: is that occupation of the lead hand. He was using 184 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: it for all kinds of stuff related to his opposite powerhand. 185 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: But one of the things it does, and we mentioned, 186 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: you can pin it because you actually it can open 187 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: with your hand and grab at MMA. But even then 188 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 1: in boxing you can still kind of put a flat 189 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: palm and pin it to someone else's chest if you 190 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: want to just push it back or put it down. 191 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: But if someone is in your face like that, like 192 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: Bud Crawford was once he had switched stands to southpauw it. 193 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 1: When you watch some of the first three rounds where 194 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: Porter is making entries, look at how he is. He's 195 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: going high low, he's mixing it right, changing rhythms. We 196 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: talked about it, but it's off all the lead hand. 197 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: So he would get to look, he would get some 198 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: defensive work from Bud Crawford, something get him thinking about it, 199 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: and then he would make his entry behind it. So 200 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: now with Bud Crawford switches to South Paul and the 201 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: hand is up and I can force in front of 202 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: you like this constantly, right, you just can't let me 203 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: get away with that. Now you can time me, but 204 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: then you're risking, you know, as the guy doing this 205 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: to set a trap as well as to gauge distance 206 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: and everything else. So you have some choices to make 207 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: about how you want to handle him, but you can't 208 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: just let him do it right. And so you saw 209 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: Porter getting a little bit deterred because he was getting 210 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: his job essentially taken away from him. So he had 211 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,679 Speaker 1: the starting mechanism, just wasn't enough there. But I think 212 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: what Crawford realized, I think I'm gonna have to go 213 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: back and look to really be sure about this. But 214 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: I think what Crawford realized at that time was, Okay, 215 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:40,479 Speaker 1: I'm shutting down his jab, but they were still relatively 216 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: even ish in the striking. That's not quite true. Crawford 217 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: got better over time significantly after the seventh round, but 218 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: it wasn't like he was really putting a stamp on him. 219 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: What the big difference was is and Bradley was kind 220 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: of beating him up for it. On the broadcast. You 221 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,839 Speaker 1: actually see Crawford stay in South Paul, but he actually 222 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: kind of drops the jab, or he did it from 223 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: the jab where it's kind of a flicking up jab. 224 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,839 Speaker 1: He did that a little bit too. But the big 225 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: one was the stepping of stepping back. He actually realized 226 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: the best punches he was landing on Porter was when 227 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: he could get him blitzing with no jab, because Porter 228 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,839 Speaker 1: had kind of let it go to at that point 229 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: neither was really working a whole lot behind it, and 230 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: then stepping back and intercepting either with an uppercut hook 231 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 1: combo or you know, some kind of body attack or 232 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: something like that. That's where the biggest punches for Crawford 233 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: were really getting landed. I mean, again, there's some great 234 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: shots that were happening in other spaces. It was like 235 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,320 Speaker 1: they were only landing there, but they were like it 236 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: was consistently pretty good. That was where he could create 237 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: space and create timing to land quite effectively, especially as Sean. 238 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: He wasn't blitzing coming in on his toes this time. 239 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: He was kind of coming and crouched and he was 240 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: getting hit, you know, over and over and over and 241 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: over with it. Also, Bud Crawford just his ring generalship Jesus. 242 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he's good, good lord he is. That's a 243 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: talented guy. That's a really, really really talented guy that 244 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: he is able to do that kind of a thing 245 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: where if Porter came in with some kind of overhand left, 246 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: he would either step sometimes he would lean, but he 247 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: would throw his own Porter's right. He would actually might 248 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 1: have done it from both sides now that I think 249 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: about it. He would throw a hook on top of 250 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: whatever hook Porter was throwing and then use that to 251 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: either turn himself, or at times olay his opponent passed 252 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: him into the corner or whatever whatever he needed to do. 253 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: But you know, you didn't see a lot of times 254 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: with Crawford shelled up, pressed up against the ropes. There 255 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: was one round where you saw Crawford shell up like this. 256 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: I gotta pull my notes up here. There was one 257 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: round like that, and I was giving it to Porter 258 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: because he was kind of giving the round away doing 259 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: it that way where you're just shelling up. I got 260 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: like Porter when he sees another opponent who is blinding 261 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: himself with his own gloves and you know, can't see 262 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: what's coming. He just gets right in front of him 263 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: and then unloads. You know, there must have been some 264 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: kind of intentionality about it, all right, So let me 265 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: pull up my notes here. So I scored it in 266 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 1: real time. Now, some of these rounds were close, so 267 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: don't kill me if the scorecards a little bit off 268 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: from yours. I had ten to nine Porter in the 269 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: first I had ten nine round two for Porter, round 270 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: three for Porter, round four for Crawford, five for Porter, 271 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: six for Crawford. So that's the four to two seven. 272 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: I had it for Crawford, eight for Crawford nine, I 273 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: had it for Crawford, and then by ten he stopped him. 274 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: So the second half of that fight things had really turned. 275 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at some of the notes here 276 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,319 Speaker 1: about what he had done. Both guys had done some 277 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: pretty good body in the latter half of that fight. 278 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's really the story of the fight. I mean, 279 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: from a very sort of basic perspective here about what 280 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: the x's and o's were. You know, you heard the 281 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: dad of Sean Porter describe like what makes a guy 282 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: like Bud Crawford's so talented and he goes, you know, 283 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: it's not any one thing. It's not like he has 284 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: the most power or the best footwork, or you know, 285 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: you name whatever individual skill he's got the best pull too, 286 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: counter or you know, whatever it may be. He's got 287 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: really good everything, and that is just overwhelming to people. 288 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: It's just totally overwhelming to his opponents. We always talk 289 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: about it. It's true in any kind of combat sport, 290 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: but it's especially true in boxing, where you have twelve rounds, right, 291 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: there are just certain kinds of guys. Mayweather was one 292 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: in a very different kind of way, but you see 293 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: it in other fighters as well, but let's talk about 294 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: Bud Crawford, where you know, you've got to make a 295 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: strong kount of yourself in the first six rounds because 296 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: on the back six, man, it's gonna be a very 297 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: different story if you even make it the whole back six. 298 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, Canelo is that way now, I see I 299 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: mentioned Mayweather. Dude, like Mayweather, if you didn't win in 300 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: the first six rounds, it was fucking over for you. 301 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: Like there was no way you were gonna win the 302 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: back six. It was just not I mean, I would 303 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: like to actually go back and look and see how 304 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: many fighters got the majority of the back six rounds 305 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: anytime he went to twelve. I'm sure some may have, 306 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: but it's very very limited, if any. That's the kind 307 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: of guy he was due. That's what Crawford is too. Man. 308 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 1: You know, if you don't win the first six inside 309 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 1: that you don't make a strong account of yourself inside 310 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 1: that first six, you're a donzo. Dude. Here's the amazing 311 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: part about what Sean Porter did tonight. He actually did 312 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 1: make a strong account of himself in the first six. Now, 313 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: maybe you didn't have it four too, maybe you had 314 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: it three to three. That's fine, I get that, a 315 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: totally totally understandable scorecard. Nevertheless, dude, you can't say that 316 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: Seawn Porter was not very much in that fight the 317 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: first six rounds and by some people probably had him 318 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: maybe three four in some cases, maybe he even had 319 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: five rounds. I'd looked at the judge scorecard and see 320 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: where they were on this night. But you get the idea, dude, 321 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: he did really well. He made that push that you're 322 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: supposed to make inside the first six and what did 323 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: it amount to. Yes, okay, his father was intervening, but 324 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: that shit was headed south in round ten, it was 325 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: headed south. He's just that guy, man, He's just that guy. 326 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: He is extra special what he can do. You know 327 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: how many boxers have you guys seen, who are like, hmm, 328 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't like the way this looks. I'm just gonna 329 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: decide to fight this in a different stance. Now that 330 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: by itself is not so impressive, but against a guy 331 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: this caliber of opposition, and then to still get the stoppage, 332 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, and what may not even be your your 333 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: best stance. You just have that kind of command over 334 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: boxing where you can just podularly add peat portions to 335 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: your game and pieces or strip out what you don't need. Right, 336 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: you just had this entire tool chest about what kind 337 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: of issue you have with the car you have to repair, 338 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: and it's just you can just pick whatever tool you need, 339 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 1: it's there, or you know, whatever, I don't need this 340 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: ranch throw it back. That's that's Bud Crawford. He's fucking 341 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 1: he's home depot man. You know, like, whatever you need, 342 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: that dude's got it, and and every part of it 343 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: is is quite good. How do you fight that guy? 344 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: You know, you need somebody else who can either have 345 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: a style that's so overwhelming that it still kind of 346 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: just drowns out the ability of Bud Crawford to play 347 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: the levels, or you have to have somebody who can 348 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: play the levels with him. You know, I'm not sure 349 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: at one forty seven who that is now. Maybe Spence 350 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: is the guy who, by the way himself quite crafty. 351 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: Obviously in the demand for that now is gonna be. 352 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: It's not like it's been low, but there's nothing to 353 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: really move the chains in that direction. Of course, Spence 354 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: had eye surgery and we were supposed to fight Pacio 355 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: and it went away, And we'll see what happens when 356 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: he comes back. But you know, is Spence the guy 357 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 1: to do that to Bud Crawford to either overwhelm him 358 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: with the kind of, you know, difficult but sort of 359 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: singularish kind of style, or can he play the levels 360 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: with Crawford in the way that he might have to. 361 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: I think certainly he can do a little bit of both. 362 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,880 Speaker 1: He's got, he's you know, he might be the well, 363 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: shit dude, Terrence quite you know what, I don't know 364 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: before I even say anything, that's silly, dude, Terrence Crawford. 365 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: I mean, so he won the WBO belt by beating 366 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: Jeff horn into twenty eighteen the welterweight belt, excuse me. 367 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: And then he beat Jose Benavidez tk otam Amir Khan tkotim. 368 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: Although that fight was fucking weird. The Duke of Lithuani, 369 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 1: whose name is utterly unpronounceable, he tk o'ed him kel Brook. 370 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: That was vicious, granted, past prime Kelbrook, but still, you 371 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: know who's the last guy to make it to a 372 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: decision with him was Victor Postal post All excuse me. 373 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: And then before that, not all the way back in 374 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, raybel Tron, Yeah, I mean, this dude is 375 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: a vicious finisher, vicious finisher, and especially on this run 376 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: up at welterweight. You know, obviously he's got lightweight and 377 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: light welterweight titles to his name as well, but in 378 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: this way class, he is fucking people up. Man, And 379 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: that was an impressive showing, you know, to make those 380 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 1: those kinds of tactical adjustments. If BC was here, I 381 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: think he'd probably talked to you about where this ranks 382 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: all time on you know, Bud Crawford's resume, Like what 383 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: what was this? You know, this was a fight that 384 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: was in some ways a little bit accidental, but somewhat unexpected, 385 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: I should say, And this was the first real test. 386 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: I mean, listen to the names I mentioned before, like 387 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: mere kN was a big name, but that fight was 388 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: terrible and he got hitting the balls and I was like, 389 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 1: I'm done, and it was just awful in every way. 390 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: You know, this is one of the better names, certainly 391 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: at this weight class, but by the best name in 392 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 1: this weight class. Yeah, no, this is the best name 393 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: in this weight class in terms of the relevancy of 394 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: when he fought them, you know, and he is the 395 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: first person to sort of make history against this guy, 396 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: and again the dad intervened, but it was headed. I 397 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: don't know if he would have made it twelve rounds man, 398 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: that was looking. I don't know if he would have 399 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: made it out of the fucking round, to be honest 400 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,879 Speaker 1: with you, So let's talk about that stoppach here for 401 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: just a second. I don't know how you feel about it. 402 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: It seemed a little premature to me. And then they 403 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: interviewed his dad, and his dad fucking buries him. Man. 404 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: I was like, dude, pops, what are you saying? Bro? Uh? 405 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: The dad was like, because I know how he trained, 406 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: he didn't train hard enough, like you gotta do better 407 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: than that. And I was like, you're punt. Like, dude, 408 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: if listen, man gets a father son relationship, like what 409 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: I have to say about it means fuck all obviously, 410 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: but why would you punish him? Like the call about 411 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: stopping it is made on the terms of which those 412 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: kinds of calls need to get made, which is health 413 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 1: and safety and probably not much else. And even with 414 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: health and safety, we're talking the limit or preventing worst 415 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: case scenarios or certainly regrettable ones. Now, as I mentioned, 416 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: it was headed south, we can all agree Bud had 417 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: him on skates twice. And I think there was plenty 418 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: of timelift in the round. In fact, and I have 419 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: to look at the timing and I don't have it 420 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: in front of me, although the CompuBox numbers might have it, 421 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: they don't. I'm gonna I'm gonna go through these in 422 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: just a second. But I think there was plenty of 423 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: timelift in the round. And in any case, even if 424 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: it would have made it out, it looked like Crawford. 425 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: The ninth round was Crawford's best round. Dude. He was 426 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: dealing in that round. He was working behind the jab, 427 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: the feet were moving, he was staying off the ropes, 428 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 1: he was moving sean porter around, he was landing at will, 429 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: he was putting combinations together. Dude, he was fucking dealing 430 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: that round. So then he comes out in the tenth 431 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and knocks him down almost like right away. I think 432 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: it was almost like right away. It was it was 433 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: helth okay. But talking about the stoppage, So the dad 434 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: pulls it and then says like, oh, I you know, 435 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: I know how he trained. It wasn't enough, blah blah blah. 436 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: It's like, man, I'm not even saying it was like 437 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: the worst call to pull it. I'm not I'm definitely 438 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: not saying that, but like it's not a good call 439 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 1: to do it for that reason. That seems a flimsy 440 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: ass reason to do it, Like I'm I'm displeased with 441 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 1: the way you train. So here's me pulling the plug 442 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: on a title fight, like you know, and I'm sure 443 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: it's it's that plus the fact that it was going south. 444 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: It wasn't one or the other. But like it doesn't 445 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: the fact that how he trained, if you thought he 446 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,200 Speaker 1: was going to get really hurt, maybe that's what he means, like, oh, 447 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 1: I know how he trained, and this was gonna get 448 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: real bad for him. I'm saving him a beating versus 449 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,199 Speaker 1: I know how he trained, and you know, you just 450 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: didn't deserve to be in there. Kind of it sounded 451 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,199 Speaker 1: like that. Now maybe he meant it differently. I don't know, 452 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: but shit, it didn't sound like heartwarming. It was not 453 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: a touching father son moment like I you know, Father's Day, 454 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: Sean Porter's dad might get kicking the balls or something 455 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: like that. You know, I owe you one. Pop's kind 456 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 1: of a scenario. All right, here are the total punches 457 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: for Terrence Crawford ninety eight of three hundred and twenty 458 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: eight to the body. It was twenty eight, so seventy 459 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: landed upstairs for Sean Porter just seventy nine, only nine 460 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: to the body, and that was probably mostly early in 461 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: the fight. He was head hunting a bit. I guess 462 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm just twenty three percent of those landed. Overall jabs 463 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 1: thirty three for Terrence Crawford at twenty one percent and 464 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: then just twelve for Sean Porter at thirteen percent, and 465 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: then for Power sixty five thirty eight percent for Terrence Crawford, 466 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: and then sixty seven with twenty six percent for Sean Porter, 467 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 1: the dominant puncher in terms of the quantitative side, big 468 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: round for Crawford over Porter around four ten to six. 469 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 1: Porter thirteen to ten in round five, Crawford sixteen to 470 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: ten in round six, Crawford eight to six in round seven, 471 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: Crawford fourteen to nine and eight Crawford fourteen to ten 472 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: in round nine, and then six to nothing basically in 473 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: round ten, and then he put them away there. Unbelievable performance. 474 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: There is obviously a lot about what this fight means 475 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: for pound for pound rankings. I don't think given what 476 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 1: Canelo just did against Caleb Plant that will win like 477 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: this would move him, move Bud Crawford into top position, 478 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 1: but it certainly could bolster his case for being the 479 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,199 Speaker 1: most talented boxer in MMA, which is very I mean, 480 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 1: all of it is subject of course, but that is 481 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: extremely subjective. Nevertheless, when you look at his ability, I 482 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: don't think you can match his resume against what Canelo 483 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: has done. I know Bud Crawford this week was saying, like, 484 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 1: you know, why haven't i gotten the same kind of 485 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: canelo acclaim I'm just as good? He might be just 486 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: as good, but the resumes are not as good. You know. 487 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: Obviously Canelo has a little bit more leeway. I think 488 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: this was the this should have been the last fight 489 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: for Crawford on the top rank contract. Although if I'm wrong, 490 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: you can dead wrong me on that on the regular 491 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: MK show. So there is implications there that there's a 492 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: there's a debate to be had there certainly about where 493 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: he belongs in all of that. You know, where Sean 494 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 1: Porter goes from here, where Bud Crawford goes from here. 495 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: I'm going to leave most of that to Monday's MK. 496 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 1: I know you might be like, I wanted to talk 497 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: about it now, but don't worry, we will talk about 498 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: it on Monday. What I wanted to do was for 499 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: this postfight show. Typically, if you're new here, BC would 500 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: have done this kind of thing. We tend to segregate. 501 00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: He does the boxing stuff and I do the MMA 502 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: stuff for post fight, though we can switch on occasion, 503 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 1: this being one of them, so I'm gonna stick to 504 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: my strengths on this one and then keep that kind 505 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: of conversation for Monday. But they are important ones. They're 506 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: utterly relevant ones and are not like this where a 507 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: guy like Bud Crawford who's been looking for breakout moments 508 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,639 Speaker 1: against a breakout fighter or not breakout fighters, breakout moments 509 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: against proven names, guys who can draw, guys who can 510 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: fight guys and can do a little bit of both, 511 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: the kind of thing to bolster his image, the kind 512 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: of thing to bolster his reputation, all of it together. Dude, 513 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: Sean Porter was that guy, and he made a super 514 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: strong account of himself on the front half of that fight. 515 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 1: But dude, the back half, which is supposed to do 516 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,800 Speaker 1: with that guy, You know, what are you supposed to do? 517 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: What could Sean Porter reasonably have done, like, way better 518 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: than what he did right within the confines of what 519 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: he is actually capable of doing. Did he really leave 520 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: that many stones unturned? Didn't look that way to me. 521 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,879 Speaker 1: Looked at me. That he gave a very strong account 522 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: of himself. Now he should be proud of himself too. 523 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: That all these people like rip on boxers, I don't 524 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 1: want to fight each odlah blah blah blah. Dude, Sean 525 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: Porter goes out of his way to fight these guys 526 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: and as you can see, doesn't always get his hand raised. 527 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: But he is a fighter through and through, and that 528 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: was a very strong performance. It's just, dude, you're up 529 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: against a guy who is special in ways hard to communicate. 530 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: He's very very good. So plenty more conversation on this. 531 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: Thumbs up.
