King Bud!
Too many tools — just on another level from the brave, formidable Porter.
Porter’s legacy: he beat all but the best, and he gave the best hell. It’s actually top contenders like him who make the sport more interesting. They are the real measure of champions.
Now, if Crawford can get away from Top Rank, we might see some definitive fights for this era at 147.
Crawford announced his departure. But that has nothing to do w/ fights not being made IMO.
Loved Crawford’s celebration dance.
LOL, me too!
As a whole, it was a very disappointing event thanks to the refs and Top Rank’s coverage. The show started with two early stoppages in the undercard fights, in which we saw dominating performences by Muratalla and Alimkhanuly. In both cases though, I felt for the losers who obviously trained hard but weren’t given the chance to reach the final bell. Araujo and N’Dam were both stopped by the referee way too early. Araujo was taking a lot of hits but come on… he wasn’t hurt at all. And the veteran N’Dam had been through much worst than that before in his campaign. Remember in 2013 when he went down 7 times against Lemieux and still managed to give the latter some serious trouble in the 12th and final round?
And then, Falcao had a strong start against Volny, but the tide was gradually turning in Volny’s favor. It was a very interesting fight, but unfortunately, the broadcast team (ESPN) thought it was better to split the screen in two and to show us Porter or Crawford getting their hands wrapped and praying, while stating all the clichés we’ve already heard a thousand times before. When the accidental headclash happened, the physician took a look. It was a bad cut indeed, but was it that bad enough to stop the fight? I mean, we all saw Badou Jack’s face splitted in two after a clash of heads vs Marcus Browne. Badou wanted to continue, his vision wasn’t impaired and mostly, he knew he was behind on the scorecards. The physician and the referee allowed him to continue. Last night was similar. Was Falcao vision impaired? No. But I’m pretty sure he felt the tide was turning and that the second half of the fight was going to get harder and harder for him. So, he decided he would not resume the fight. Here’s what sucks about it: it was not the doctor who took that decision, it was Falcao! If you look at the NSAC rules, when a fighter suffers a low blow, for example, he’s given up to 5 minutes to recover. Referee took the same stance after the headclash, giving Falcao 5 minutes to recover. Meanwhile, the docotor is looking at the cut, doesn’t seem preoccupied so much about it. When the referee comes back and ask the doctor (via the translator), you could hear the doctor saying something like: ”he says he’s hurt and he doesn’t want to continue”. So, to me, it seems the referee could have ruled this a TKO in the favor of Volny. But instead, the referee decided to stop the fight and go to the scorecards upon recommandations of the doctor… who made his decision based upon Falcao desire to not resume the fight (NOT on the state of the injury itself). Very bad decision in my opinion.
Finally, we had Crawford vs Porter. This so-called ”WAR” never really took off. Both looked rusty as hell. At the halfway point of this fight, less than 50 punches were landed on each side. Is this what you call a war? Well, Joe Tissetore seemed to think so. The only ”war” I saw was on Porter’s mouthpiece. Crawford, a notorious slow starter, took his time as always and started to land some serious power punches in round 8. Two rounds later, it was too much to take for Porter. Besides that, the highlight of this fight was Porter’s father and trainer saying in the post-fight interview that he threw the towel in because his son didn’t deserve to be in there anyway because of his attitude in the gym in preparation for this fight. Guess these two will have a happy christmas time together this year…
Don’t get me wrong, I still believe that Crawford is amongst the best in the sport and has to be considered top10 lbs4lbs. His best fights are still to come, especially now that he’s free from Bob Arum’s management.
