Terence Crawford and Shawn Porter are just a few days out from fight night, as the two are set to square off on Saturday, November 20, live on ESPN+ pay-per-view from Las Vegas.
Crawford (37-0, 28 KO) has mostly dominated in his career, but a lot of people out there still believe the 34-year-old has something to prove, despite winning world titles in three divisions. There is still the belief that he just hasn’t had the opportunity to face top competition, and that Porter (31-3-1, 17 KO) represents a sincere challenge for him, having been in with so many of the top fighters at 147 lbs during his career.
Let’s take a look back at some of their more notable fights ahead of Saturday’s showdown.
“Bud” Crawford has certainly achieved more than just his run in the welterweight division. He’s also been a titleholder at lightweight (2014, made two defenses) and became undisputed champion at junior welterweight, picking up belts between 2015 and 2017 before moving up to 147 lbs.
But boxing can be very “what have you done for me lately,” and also “what can you do in this division,” so we’re going to focus on Crawford’s fights as a welterweight.
