Bullshyt aside, I really like this dudes interviews. He seems about as transparent as you can be and not gonna convert to acting like someone he isn’t. It’s a shame Both Ward and Bud(who always seem to throw subs at Broner) have a “boring” out of the ring persona that some fans think is a detriment to their value and brand.

It's part of the sport.

It can be for anything from stylistic reasons, poor preparation, or hell even a bad day. This isn't basketball. If your shot isn't falling that day, you can get subbed out the game. In boxing, you gotta just deal with it. You could literally be having a fukked up day and it just so happens to occur on the day of your fight. Sometimes you just gotta survive and advance. Every fight isn't going to be pretty.


And you got teammates who can bailed you out

Bob Arum talks Terence Crawford’s future: ‘Leave Manny Pacquiao alone, he’s an old man’



FFS I hope he's not bullshytting us, make those fights happen!
I'm also more interested in how Crawford deals with Porter's swarming rather than Swift. Swift did his dues at 140 and he's still a world class fighter but at 147 the top names including the likes of Porter and Thurman beat him, also Crawford is a terrible style matchup for him.
I'd be good with Bud vs Swift too but I'm more interested in Bud vs Porter

I think Crawford needs an entertaining fight, and Porter is the best candidate to provide that.
