Terence Crawford waited years to finally get the level of fight he deserved as a welterweight world champion and one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport. On Saturday night, Crawford made good on his opportunity, surviving a ferocious effort from former two-time welterweight champion Shawn Porter to retain his WBO welterweight title after scoring a TKO in the 10th round.
In the early rounds, Porter was effective in his aggressive attack, taking advantage of Crawford’s typically slow start as the champion gathers information to set up his withering attack as the fight moves forward. As Crawford started to dial in his offense, Porter rose to the task and met the champion punch for punch.
Crawford’s adjustments continued as the rounds wore on, even as Porter fought his typically rough and tumble style of inside punching and lunging power shots. Both men suffered cuts over their eyes from clashes of heads, a product of Crawford’s southpaw stance clashing with Porter’s orthodox style.
The biggest adjustment for Crawford was dialing in a vicious body attack. Crawford’s elite skills kicked into another level as Porter slowed just a step and he began to take over the fight in the final third.
In the 10th round, Crawford’s power finally changed the fight. First, a left uppercut dropped Porter to the canvas. Moments later, Crawford unloaded with a combination to score a second knockdown.
While Porter rose to his feet after pounding the canvas in frustration, his father and trainer, Kenny Porter, jumped on the ring apron to call a halt to the fight at the 1:21 mark of Round 10.
