Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET Update: WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford is holding strong as a favorite in his matchup with Shawn Porter. Crawford is as high as -1250 at FanDuel and as low as -650 at BetMGM.
Terence "Bud" Crawford (37-0, 28 KO) will put his WBO welterweight title on the line against former champion Shawn "Showtime" Porter (31-3-1, 17 KO) in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay on ESPN Pay-Per-View.
In his last bout just over one year ago, Crawford looked as dangerous as ever, scoring a fourth-round TKO victory against another former champion Kell Brook. In fact, Bud has scored a stoppage win in eight consecutive fights, which includes all five of his fights since moving up to the welterweight division.
Porter is a two-time welterweight titlist who employs a scrappy and effective style that frustrates his opponents. His three losses have all come in title fights and all three were closely contested, including his split-decision loss to Errol Spence Jr. in 2019.
