Former welterweight champion American Sean Porter met in the ring with current division leaders compatriots Errol Spence (28-0, 22 KOs) and Terence Crawford (38-0, 29 KOs). He lost to the first by a separate decision of the judges, and to the second ahead of schedule.
The teams of Spence and Crawford are negotiating a full-time fight – the title of the absolute world champion is at stake. It is possible that the fight will take place before the end of the year.
Porter has decided on a favorite,
reasoned on tactics: “Spence is left-handed. Therefore, there is a lot of talk about whether Crawford should box with him in the left-handed stance. To be honest, I think that the main part of the strategy for the fight will not be built on what stance he boxed in. And I don’t have an answer to this question. I don’t know what stance Terence will fight in.”
“My personal opinion? I know Crawford because I trained to fight him. I know what his plan for the fight is. I know exactly how I planned to counter him. I think that I have no right to voice all this. I will only say that from my point of view, it will still be more difficult for Spence against Crawford, who is boxing left-handed. I do not rule out that this is not the case. But that’s my opinion. The fight should take place for this very reason. We have a lot of questions. And we want answers to them. Because I’ve boxed both, I get asked a lot about this fight. I’m tired of talking about him. I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I want to finally see him, ”Porter started up.
Negotiations are rumored to be tough as Crawford pushes for a rematch clause. Porter’s opinion: “I believe that future members International Boxing Hall of Fame must have a trilogy in the record. So why not? Understand that strategy is not only in the ring, but also outside of it. Both want to be safe. And this is logical. Both want to do their best. And I like it, I respect and understand it. I’m sure the fight will take place. You just need to be patient.”
Earlier, a top columnist said that the Spence-Crawford fight is on the verge of collapse. The legendary Roy Jones shared his opinion about this fight. It turned out to be contradictory. But with James Toney, everything is simple. Says: “He will be knocked out.”
