EXCLUSIVE Kenny Porter Reacts to Shawn RETIREMENT & Explains THROWING IN TOWEL vs Crawford 

amen to that

Shawn has absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. His dad knows him best of all. It's a good time to retire, he just didn't seem as active as he was against Errol. I am however so sad because Shawn gave me hours of pleasure with his whirlwind style.

Shawn Porter is a great fighter

All the best in his division but not of his generation

Yep looks good on buds resume now 👍🏾

@JGUTTER34 Who have you fought?

@@djp6140 he fought his rivals keyboard opponents 🙄

Facts💯

Amen 😇🕊

I like PAPA PORTER n his son SHAWN but PAPA was like downplaying his son efforts in the fight with BUD . SHAWN just got out boxed by the better boxer . SHAWN always go's all out but BUD is the one who put a stopped to that . Bless the PORTER family 😇🕊

He brutally honest the reporter was like slow down

Kenny is abuelita

Absolutely

I get what you're saying man but at the end of the day , Shaun is a fighter, he should have let him go out on his shield 🛡. Especially cause they knew this was his last fight

@@iHardscope68 I get that but I'm sure every fighter wants that chance to go out on his shield.

Yes however he stopped that early I don't care what everyone says.

Bro porter lost that simple just say it

If that is the case, then it makes more sense

It made the most sense tbh. even if he was able to escape the round possibly with a 3rd knockdown, there's virtually no way he wins after that unless he gets a knockout.

He Said after the fight that he stopped it bc Shawn didn't prepare properly. That's not a concerned father. That's salt and a hurt ego. I would be equally concerned about how my son viewed himself and his legacy in the sport. That's the 1st time we've seen porter hurt like that...Kenny pulled him out of the game and went home.

@@donniet348 Time to find a new trainer, I understand why his father did it but it dont make it the right, Shawn fought really well, far better than expected and deserved to carry on, it was a great fight until then.

💯. I said the exact same thing in a another thread. Shawn retired to fire his dad without firing his dad. He'll be back with a different trainer & ready to fight

@@p215j His dad still see’s him as his son and not a man because those post fight comments in the ring shouldn’t have been said even if that’s how you truly felt and it was ego driven. And leading up to the fight in the training a lot of what Kenny was saying to Shawn was ego driven. At the end of the day Shawn has to get in their and fight, it’s his body and if he feels his way is best win or lose you back him… Kenny be doing too much finger pointing when shit goes bad but wants all the praise when his son wins. And you could look at Shawn’s body language he loves his dad but he has had enough. Sugar Shane had to do the same thing, Floyd too

@@adriantaylor6729 Well said. I cringed when I heard what Kenny was saying.

Same thing I said,

Fans are so weird man. That’s his father and fans still like to over step there boundaries and talk about shit as if your his best friend or some shit. If he was mad at his fathers decision it would’ve been obvious. Why the hell would his father lie about him not being focused in camp? He has nothing to gain from that. A trainer 99% of the time has all of the answers unless your Floyd mayweather lol he probably wouldn’t have stopped the fight if he knew his son trained properly. At the end of the day the same exact thing happened as what happened in the Errol Spence fight. The difference now is that Crawford was a much more dangerous fighter than Spence and he could’ve seriously ended up being hurt. The only future porter has is in the higher wait classes, no point in him challenging younger fighters like jaron ennis and getting beat even worse

Rahim got the Fury’s throat condition

Facts

Naw, it's because even if he trained his hardest he still can't be Spence & Crawford. Son didn't want to pay the price, like the dad said, he lost his desire to train

how do you know that, do you know Mr. Porter?

@@jkris1947 100% on the training . If you dont have the will power to push thru a camp the way you used to then the sport becomes even more dangerous especially on the championship level Shawn been competing at. Wish more fighters were honest with themselves instead hangin of around half ass for money

Fight was stopped prematurely, that's the biggest con having a father at your corner.

He has to say that to hype the fight. Truth always comes out after

Exactly… he sounds salty. Which one is it🤷🏽‍♂️

@@mikecampbell3370 From what Shawn has shown in his career i would think preparing would be the last concern. Kenny didn't have confidence in his son.

Exactly,,,and he wasnt even hurt like that either

Absolutely! And I've been telling everybody that Kenny Porter is the dumbest trainer in boxing. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Porter didn't train exactly how his father wanted him to so his father knew he would throw the fight at the first sign of weakness.

So what he was getting rocked. The judges had it closer then it really was. Good stoppage

Kenny porter not only know his son he knows What Crawford is capable of a nightmare when he has you hurt.

@@y2kpa2001 that is why you have the rules to protect a fighter sometimes from himself. Shawn was being walked down it was not going to end well for him not about taken sides but saving someone from being damage more it what was at play. I am not sure but maybe the three knock downs rule was also a possibly my friend.

Big Respect My Brother✊🏿 Loving Kenny for Standing Up for His Son No Matter What...A Real Father!

@@ryanaustin4733 every time bro ✊🏿

Shawn didn’t have the same passion he had against Spence. I said that would be problem for him way before the actual fight, and I agree with Kenny.

@@boothdos why would you take the fight then? This is your toughest opponent! Excuses

@@connorhighland6783 many many many fighters take fights and dobt prepare correctly. The mind fails before the body. This is an example of that.

He didn't say he didn't fight good.. he said he noticed his son defeated, and because of what he seen during training.. he decided that he no longer hat "it".

@@jaydub5449 facts

11 and 12 are championship rounds, a knockdown in those rounds is shitty, 2 knockdowns turns the whole fight.

I've never respected this man cause he's always been sneaky with his words!! Always making excuses but trying to make it sound good

They were done, you can tell their eyes and minds were towards a future outside of boxing , reserving his brain for more than fists. They got the bag, saw that he couldn’t win and got outta there once he was on the canvas twice.. the most in his career

I bet you have never even been a boxing gym.

@@lesaatuatasi6267 Exactly... spot on I feel the same, a crafty sneaky talker he is...

Me too!

@jombalaya nobreyo jus an observation

Trainer is a Job, Fatherhood is a responsibility

All trainers have the power to throw in the towel if the fighter is about to lose

He chose his dad to manage his career as well coach it isn’t control if you concede that responsibility.

@@superbthesonofman I see what you saying

With him it’s all about the ‘Kenny Porter show’. Shawn grown ass man being treated like a kid from pops his whole life

@@user-vm9hh2se7s sad how he put a stain on a very good fight. Said he didn't think Shawn would win b4 the fight...how the hell will he be prepared if his coach doesn't believe in him. Damn Kenny, I hope those 2 15's swangin behind that dress not messing with your head man.

What he say

@@kingase8079 right after the fight (while in the ring) he was asked what made him call the fight. He said "because he wasn't prepared and he didn't prepare correctly in training camp"

@@patnav168 also the fact that up until that point he was winning as well so he musta been doing something right, almost feels like Kenny wanted to prove his point of under preparing and didn't want to be wrong. If you were to listen to his interview and not watch the fight you would of thought Shawn was getting pieced up for 10 rounds which wasn't the case.

@@fredcook4390 for real!!! He got Shawn feeling like he has nothing left smh. Bogus as hell

Facts

This isn't a father thing. Wilders trainer threw in the towel in the second fight. It's their job to protect these guys

On top of it Kenny is his manager as well people for get that.

Completely different situation Deontay Wilder was getting destroyed in that fight he had no chance of winning in that fight even though he has that great knockout power he was completely incoherent and had been knocked down the multiple multiple times and he was definitely of danger of getting hurt Shawn Porter wolves very aware and coherent he was actually in that fight still even though he got knocked out he still in opportunity to possibly pull out a victory and proof of it that his father was going off is that the things that he said about his son after the fight

Most trainers are scared to piss their fighter off an get fired. Look at mark breland with wilder. This man saved his son. He knew it was over !!!

@Ron Washington he needs a new trainer

@@michealjaymurphy I keep seeing this comment. Another trainer that weekend other than Kenny, Shawn is in the hospital with pictures all over the net of his son laid out cause Bud was about to do some damage to that boy. Good decision by Kenny. These fans don't care, Porter gets seriously hurt they'll post a comment saying "damn.... Etc" and get on with their lives

He did let him continue he got knocked down twice right? Crawford had Shawn retreating what don’t y’all get. He was going to get brutalized bud was not going to stop swarming him. He was hurt he started to just lunge with every punch trying to keep bud off him he was leaving huge holes for bud to crack him clean that’s why he got dropped twice. The man was on the canvas fumbling around he was hurt. His father did what he was supposed to do defend his son from himself. There was no coming back he was going to get taken out.

He did. His father was talking to crazy.

He's 35 and been in numerous wars in the ring, there comes a time when you have to step down to ensure you leave healthy

Nah I think he wanted to retire after that anyway...the comments by his father may have cemented it but I'm sure he was gonna retire regardless...I'm sure he ain't believe Crawford would knock him out so he would have been good with losing by decision and Kenny Porter should have let that happen

I thought the same thing

No more ‘Kenny Porter show’ 👌

Basically 🤷🏾‍♂️
