This is going to be a tough call for most bettors. I'll have to wait and watch clips of their training and interviews before putting my money. I'm also favoring Crawford to win as of now but if the odds remain as is, I'll probably take a shot on the huge underdog or some handicaps/specials.
You can probably take the underdog odds, pretty sure that it's nothing to you if you bet on that and you lose them plus, the money you put in that will be grow much bigger when you're bet wins. I might check on those two because I haven't seen those two fight yet.

Although the stats are close, Crawford is a fighter that has clear advantages on records and fighters he fought, I don't belittle Porter, he is a tough fighter who deserves a title, people love to see him fight because his style is what people want to see loves to engage aggressively, I like him when he fought Spence he box likes it's his last fight, the fight could go either way but Crawford has an advantage here.

Handicaps will be the best options for us, to get a get odds, maybe by decision or by knock out.

But I'm not seeing any knock out here, perhaps a decision win by Crawford as I also favoured him to narrowly win against Porter.

Although Porter is pressure fighter, Crawford is good at adjusting as well and that's one thing I like about this fighter, very cerebral.

We will finally see Crawford against an elite welterweight. Porter is a rugged fighter who has had some close decisions against top fighters like Spence and Thurman. He has the ability to pull off an upset so if the odds are attractive enough it might be worth putting a bet on him.

Yes, I will say that Porter is somewhere in the middle of the welterweight division right now, probably top 4-5. And it's good to see Crawford going to face him in the ring. Yes, a good and live underdog, for sure he Porter will be very aggressive against Crawford and give Terrence a good fight. No running and hugging, just pure old style of boxing, toe to toe and for sure we will see Crawford put into a uncomfortable position.

This is the kind of fight worth watching, nowadays promoters keep giving their precious boxers weak and patsies to sustain their boxer's popularity and pocket, Porter is always a worthy opponent on any champion, he has proven himself in the ring and he is not afraid to engage and go all out.

I consider Terrence Crawford as one worthy of the list of pound for pound in our generation my bet is on him, but I will not rule out an upset he is fighting a former champion who is capable of beating anyone in the welterweight, still two months but worth listing in your calendar.

This is indeed a good fight to watch. But I am expecting the odds to be highly, not just slightly, in favor of Crawford once it is out. Crawford is definitely the stronger and more powerful boxer here. Crawford is generally a better boxer than Shawn Porter. This does not mean to say Porter doesn't stand a chance, though. This simply means Crawford has a lot more chances of winning than Porter.

My money definitely goes out to Crawford. If the ML odds on Crawford is too low, which I'm expecting, I might as well go for the KO. I guess that's still likely to happen.

This is really exciting, Shawn Porter lost against Spence, so let's see if he can beat Crawford who IMO is a better boxer than Spence.

It was a close lost to Spence, if not for the flash knock down, the fight could go on either direction. Porter won on 1 judges, but the two other awarded it to Spence. I wouldn't call Crawford though a better boxer than Spence, Crawford advantage for me is his experience and boxing IQ.

Crawford based on the odds is the heavy favorite with 1/5 odds in 2 gambling sites or 1.2 in decimal format.

That's not very attractive odds 1.2 ML. But that is the initial odds so we might see changes as the fight draw nears.

Finally, been waiting for Crawford to really fight big names in this division as it seems that he was really protected by Top Rank and only fights Welterweight in their stable.

Maybe Crawford didn't sign a new contract with Top Rank. His contract as far as I know is up until October and after his fight with Kell Brook, there's a lot of critism. And then this statement from Bob Arum:

https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-bob-arum-not-confident-about-terence-crawford-fighting-on-ppv-whos-going-to-pay-for-it/

So this is the first time that he fought someone that is rated higher in any organizations. So we will see how Crawford greatness is, if he passed and win against Porter, we will definitely see Errol Spence Jr. (assuming he has recovered) down the line to see who is the best in Welteweight division.

That is possible, both are champions so we might see a reunificaiton fight as well. Other fighters in different weight class are aiming for this, to be called the undisputed and holding all the major belts.

I have the feeling that sportsbooks will slightly favor Crawford here. But the gap of odds may not be wide. I am hoping that we will really see a toe-to-toe fight here, both fighters have the same age so there's no question about being older or younger here. It is how they prepare now for this fight and their fighting technique inside the ring. Southpaw vs Orthodox, who will win?

Yes, I agree, it will be Crawford that will be the slight favourite, the champion and undefeated. Shawn is known to fight toe to toe, it depends on how Crawford will react if Shawn started to press the action inside. Both are still in their prime. Crawford has the ability to switch stance, so depending on how Porter will fight, he will adjust, maybe go southpaw and then orthodox for him to confused Porter here. But I'm seeing Terrence winning by decision in this fight.

Quote
Three-division and reigning WBO welterweight champ Terence Crawford (37-0, 28KOs) and former two-division titlist Shawn Porter (31-3-1, 17KOs) have agreed to terms for their highly anticipated title fight, which will take place November 20 atop an ESPN+ Pay-Per-View from Michelob ULTRA Arena in Las Vegas.

So we have another exciting fight in the welterweight division. Crawford will defend his belt against former champion Shawn Porter on November 20. This will be explosive as we all know how these two fighters, Porter gave Spence Jr a good fight when they clash two years ago and lost via split decision. He won against Ugas (who beat Manny Pacquiao recently), and also a W against Danny Garcia. His losses are against Keith Thurman and Kell Brook.

On the other hand, one of the best pound for pound, Terence Crawford, hasn't lost, beat Jeff Horn, (who beat Manny Pacquiao, but majority thinks it's a robbery), and won against Kell Brook.

So this is going to be a good fight in my opinion. I would say that Crawford has step up the plate here in fighting a hard nose fighter in Shawn Porter. I'm expecting a 12 full rounds of action packed boxing.

No odds yet.
