KENNY PORTER EXPLAINS WHY HE STOPPED CRAWFORD FIGHT; REFLECTS ON SHAWN'S RETIREMENT & CAREER 

Wow that was a nice break down

He knows Crawfords as much as he knows his son as they matured in the ring together. He knew Shawn would be willing to go out on his shield with the pride he carries, that being said he knows the danger Crawford possesses if Shawn continued as he would, basically crawford is the better fighter always has been but Shawn has the heart

Literally said he didn’t like his training

When you understand boxing it's not that wild bro. Bud had the skill advantage, the speed advantage, the power advantage. He pretty much had all the advantages. All Shawn could hope to do was hurt Bud which he didn't really do. At that point it's just a matter of whether Shawn could survive 12, but with Bud's power and Shawn's need to get on the inside to win, there was always the chance of Shawn getting stopped. His Dad knew that.

How do you not watch any of Terrence fights, preparing your son ahead of the fight, Terrence capitalize on that porter, not knowing Terrence skills and bud took advantage of it, that was an easy set up but good fight

@@chiefsosa8123 That’s bullshit tho. They have the same game plan & training for every fight😂. We all were watching the fight waiting for Porter to just walk into a big punch like he did

Bro on god ,like this nigga hates his son . If my pops treated me like that I wouldn’t fucks with him at all . Keep yo asss away from me

There dose seem to be some unspoken issues between Shawn Porter and his father

Hard

Kenny seems very controlling. I feel like Shawn didn’t do exactly what Kenny told him to do in camp, and he felt some type of way and used this as a “I told you so moment”.

Mayweather Daddy is built different

@@thagip2241 Floyd is just built different

@@thagip2241 imagine what the likes of Leonard and Hearns would've done to today's welterweights. But I give special mention to Ennis, who could be great.

Floyd different because the whole family were pro boxers, some champs. Kenny was never that, he doesn’t know the things they do.

Too soon? I don't think Porter have enough left at that point to beat Crawford, if they continued I think he will be knocked out. Too soon maybe on the entertainment side..

Exactly. Like Andy Ruiz Jr and Manny Robles before that AJ rematch.

Sell the fight, why take money away from son

Facts

He lost a son already porter is a grown man! Porter can kick his father out his corner and come back !

He's just keeping it real. Not being fake and keeping up appearances.

Bro you have no idea what you are talking about

His father did not want the blame

😂😂 bruh what do y’all not understand…. T bud is the best finisher in boxing it was only gonna get worse… he saved his SON from possible future damage to his brain etc but y’all stubborn ass fans don’t care y’all just wanna see a what if ass situation

Stopping the fight at times like that are that keeps your fighter from taking devastating KOs, he was knocked down twice early and the trainer made the right decision

And we would never know what would have happened because the fight was prematurely stopped. I’ve seen hurt fighters land knock out punches to win fights and if a man can bang his fist on the ground like Shawn did he could have continued. That left hook that he took from Spence was a bigger punch than what Crawford landed on him.

@@clevesterrolfe7947nah it’s Terrance Crawford once he smells bklood hood luc😂😂

@MrOzzieoz If Kenny hadn't stopped that fight when he did.... he saved his fighter from an ugly brutal end that would have certainly happened over the next thirty seconds and to what end? Shawn was behind on points, Shawn doesn't have a "puncher's chance" there was absolutely no reason for Shawn taking a totally unnecessary beating in a hopeless outcome.

I SAW THIS FIGHT IT WAS ABOUT TO GET DEADLY UGLY MAN, KENNY SAVED HIS FIGHTER MAN BUD A KILLER FINISHER MAN, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL SEEING YO BLOOD STRETCHED OUT LIKE APOLLO CREED THINK ABOUT IT.

His Father saved him from more damage. Nothing wrong with that.

Dumb comment. what you think was gonna happen- he was gonna get knocked down again and again

Straight up bro. All these people talkn about how his father knows best n bs damn shame on his dad

@@josegambino7270 hell yeah Bro the dads a clown 🤡

Another thing bro is he single handedly put a big ass stain on the sport of Boxing by stopping the fight, then people wonder why Boxing is losing fans to MMA now a days bc of bs like this tho

Porter sucks lost to Ugas and Garcia stop tripping dude Porter could of gotten hurt for life if he proceeded Crawford was going for the kill his not Spence robotic.

@@leialmasy1 huh?? I’m lost!!! Who said he was good? Smh your the type to try and argue for no reason, clown 🤡

Kenny is not a trainer

@Lone Ranger Porter needed to retire or get a new trainer.

@Lone Ranger The father/son thing usually doesn't work

@Lone Ranger Mayweather spent most of his career with his uncle. Porter has 4 losses with his father as his trainer. Roy parted ways with his father early in his career. Shane n Danny came up short in their big fights.

@@mightywhitey718 so when a fighter loses its the trainers fault? You make zero sense. Fighters know or should know how the sport of boxing works and how it is graded. If you need your trainer to tell you then you should not be boxing at the highest level. Fighters with father trainers doesn't work often in the sense that not everyone's father fights or knows the sport of boxing. But to say it doesn't work at all is naive when examples were given to you of successful stories whether the fighter won or lost. They made it to the top.

@@stokedradar Its not that it never works ever, it's rarely a success. Maybe Porter would be undefeated if he had a different trainer. Porter has 4 losses

Thank you. He gave Crawford and Spence a difficult time. Porter just swarms you

I think the same. He can still beat alot of WW out here.

Actually @PERCIVAL Porter was behind on all three cards BEFORE the knockdowns!

@@svgs650r I dont care about corrupt judges scoring.

Only a fool would have Porter ahead after 9

Im sure if that was a regular coach he not gonna stop it so idk to me u gotta think father first he made his money but most important is health 🤷🏾‍♂️

A regular coach might have stopped it too. That’s a 10-7 round and he was hurt. It’s no way he could win the fight at that point . U NOT knocking bud out, and now u down on the scorecards heavily so if it does go to the judges u still lost.

Terrible stoppage, porter was not getting beat up the entire fight like wilder was, wilder had no chance to do anything other than take more punishment, in the other hand we seen porter get up over and over again in every fight, and put up a fight… he still had fight in him and his own father didn’t believe in him I think porter should have been switched coaches I think his father been got to a point where he didn’t have anything else to teach

Definitely bad. Too much emotion involved.

@@Ryan-qq9qe stop it bra we don’t give af about your entertainment

I felt the same way man but his dad knows best and it's a blessing u gotta remember u gotta save the fighters sometimes from themselves

Such a beautiful speech. He understands whats truly important. Someone make Shawn's career and relationship with his dad into into a movie.

I feel that, I was confused....but respect to them tho🤷🏿‍♂️

Shawn is too humble. He should’ve switched trainers after the Thurman fight.

Sadly he knew his son was going to lose.

Exactly blue pill

Just curious do you have any boxing experience?

Disagree. He got the most out of his son's talent IMO. Shawn not a big puncher and was very wild technically when he started. He was a football player. He lost to the best guys in the World. There is no shame in that.

@@npa2468 He beat Uysk in the amateurs you don't know what you're talking about lmao

@@eclisis5080 The whole concept that Kenny raised him to be a Beta is stupid when he is putting his life on the line against the best fighters in the world. Porters dedication and elite conditioning is why he reached the top. Not his great skills or ability.

I dont mind the decision but he's talking doen on his son the whole time after the foght. Every interview leading up he talked as if knowing shawn would lose. He was always smiles and univorns with Bud. He disrespected his son, how is that a great father?

@@hwonitojv9503 that’s your opinion your entitled to it. No one is perfect, that doesn’t take away from him being a great father.

@@d3uce3306 Like you said, that's your opinion as well, but we can agree to disagree

No father will wait for his son to take the kill shot when it is eminent

This is boxing and one punch can turn things around his dad didn’t believe his son could be Crawford plain in simple

@Allen Hadnot thinking is hard for you!

@@svgs650r sounds like he already gave up before it started

I doubt it would’ve been a KO, Shawn shown he can fight up there with the best of them. Ugas, Spence, Brook, Thurman.. ect. Feel his tough enough to handle himself in there. Porter is a proper warrior. Gonna need more than that to KO him.

Would have been nice to see shawn KTFO lool,because that was coming next

Porter had his father at his corner his dad never seen that and stopped! Poster put him in his corner not his father

@@sicmundus1640 😂

Bro that's boxing people soft now

He had two rounds left and was up on some unofficial score cards. He had a chance to win and he wasn’t hurt

he planned on stopping it BEFORE the fight

How can you say if that man was hurt or not you ain’t take them punches and you were not in his corner.

@@cbshineI said he wasn’t hurt that bad and he wasn’t.

@@wavegod6548 lol all boxers say that that’s why you have a cornerman and ref to protect them from themselves

Let him get the shit beat out of him after that knock down? 😂 bud was fina put him away

@@ctg404 you don’t know that, Porter could have been winning on the cards (he wasn’t but it was hard to tell). He’s insanely tough, has great recovery. I think it’s very likely Shawn could’ve survived.

Porter was done everybody can see that!

You understand boxing.

💯 agree! Outstanding comment! Congratulations Shaun on a great career and being a class act outside the ring!

facts

Straight trash everybody round of applause 😆😆 You don't quit or stop a Boxing match because of a flash knockdown or two. Porter would have finished that fight on his feet, may not victorious but w his head held high. Piece of 💩 Kenny

@@josegambino7270 it ain't your son. He doesn't just wear a trainers hat or a managers hat. He wears a Father's hat as well. Y'all weren't saying much when Floyd choose to out point his opponents rather than get into fights. That's a cool way of making a bag and not dying trying to make a bag. Shawn is good. He's a warrior we know. No exclamation marks around his career. He fought everyone. He's the true definition these days in this belt driven, protect my Zero driven, claim I'm the best because I'm fighting nobody's, day-n- age. "Come one come all" Much props to Shawn and his dad.

Facts 💯

this is his son... you wanted him to get hurt before he ended the fight? he wouldnt have won on the score cards as well

No

Crawford is a calculated killer with precise accuracy

Man i know u're frustrated, but Kenny knows his son better than us. As bis trainer and as his father. He knows how his son got prepared, and what he can endure. Two knock downs in the 10. There were still many times remaining in the round and knowing Crawford, it just would have been worst. Crawford was'nt slowing down and his the best finisher in this game. I think Kenny just spare unnecessary damage to his son. We just watch this from our safe place outside the ring, but those guys put their life in danger. We got excitement for 36min or less, but they can get injured for life. So... Please do not go too hard on the man

Thats a toxic relationship shawn has stockholm syndrome

Not a good example at all. This was one fight. Shawn had a good career. All of his potential got him 2 world titles and classic fights with the best of the division. He always gave fighters hell and the fight of their lives. His dad didn't limit that. He helped get him there. This was likely Shawn's last fight either way. He was doin well but by nooooo means was be giving Crawford hell. Crawford by mid fight was doing as he pleased. Once he started tossin Shawn into the ring post head first and making him look foolish Shawn became his normal bullish self due to anger and perhaps a bit of competitive embarrassment. Bud was startin to get off on Shawn. Once Shawn became reckless and began lunging in as is second nature for him it seems, it was over. Crawford has the best IQ in boxing right now in my opinion. He continued to go to the body during the exchanges during the earlier rounds. Hard thudding shots to the body. A well timed uppercut in a later round at that point would be disastrous to a tired Shawn lunging in. That's exactly what happened. It was masterful work by Crawford. Porter was about to get knocked out bad. There was nothing he could do. His spirit was breaking. He has no power to stop Bud or hurt him so what could he possibly do at that point. His dad saved a horrendous knockout of his son. No fault in that. Shawn maxed out his potential last night

@joe power "unlimited potential" Shawn Porter is a phenomenal athlete, but only a pretty good boxer, his ring skills are pressure, mauling, amazing recovery ability (after both knockdowns Saturday night he freakishly willed his legs to work) and endurance, his Father has done a fantastic job of exploiting those skills in his son to the elite level and two world world titles! Oh by the way, you're delusional, he's been a pro for thirteen years with 36 fights! 290 amateur fights!

Huh @Tony TNT Tubbs "finished his last fight" unconscious? concussed? permanently damaged?

I defended kenny but after watching it again, Porter wasn't even wobble when he got up the second time, I think he was more off balance the second knock down even in the replays and highlights they only show the first knock down because it was a punch he ducked into, and was more devastating

@Eclisis exactly. He ducked into that. Like Lubin with charlo and it's uphill battle for lubin to get back in the race. Same would have happened with Porter. He was gone get thrown to Virgil Ortiz are jaron ennis Boots. And they gone beat him. Especially Boots. Crawford or want to give Boots or Ortiz a shot. Just how this goes in boxing. Like how Floyd avoided Spence and Crawford on his way out.

@@ceasargentry8803 Punch was nowhere near as devastating as the one Charlo hit Lubin with, terrible comparison, it was a good shot but he wasn't even wobbled when he stood up, he could've made it out the round

Terrible stoppage, porter wasn’t getting beat up the entire fight like wilder was, porter was in the fight, it’s a shame his own father didn’t believe in his son smh trash

Nah it was coming to en end and his son maybe wanted to protect him from been hurt. Thats his son dont forget.

Man Crawford was bout to beat the fuck out of him!

Facts

Porter was not winning lol stop

Crawford was ahead on all 3 scorecards at the time of the stoppage. So no, he wasn't winning, and no he wasn't going to. Porter is a shining star who had a great career, fought everyone and is adored. He didn't need to get KO'd. His father knows him better than anyone. He just didn't have enough tonight. Now he gets to enjoy retirement from the ring, but we will see him working in the booth, calling fights.

This generation dont got tough dads or dads in general

Wish i had a pops

Not taking the piss.. why do you start every word with a capital letter (upper case)?

@ Kenneth Hargrove Dunce!

@@svgs650r 💩💩

@Matthew Lee wtf does race have to do with it?

@ proud pakistani. no he didn’t!

Well said. You can do it. You just need to pick a career man.

Facts 💯

Facts!!!¡ Kenney took one for the shield (PBC), in order to keep the big checks rolling for all the brands under the banner (PBC)!!¡

Been saying this that PBC are testing top ranks Crawford to see how well he'll do with Errol Jr. This is a TEST to see if boss PBC Al Haymon is willing to risk he's money maker Errol Spence Jr.

He means planning to stop if he gets hurt and avoid further damage

His dad should not his trainer anymore....wrong decision

It was his corner his team he picked his father and it's been good till today! He can come back with a new team and be champ again !

Facts!! Str8 business move! I Respect Shawn. The rest I don't fuck with

@@omarvelasquez3278 Idk bro I've always backed Porter, and think he's a beast. I don't think he comes back from this mentally though. Think about how many titles he's fought for, Losing close fights. From that to quitting has to effect someone mentally..

@@dontaybell5902 This is why I consider boxing a joke now bruh..

@joey juanDiaz619 you should do the world a favor and never comment on anything ever again, to quote Hank III “goddamn yer fuckin dumb”
