Gonna be one helluva fight.

They've been playing "keep away" from Crawford over at the PBC, refusing to "cross the street" to fight him. Porter finally steps up and says he'll challenge since no one else will. All the while, people have ridiculed Crawford for not being able to land an elite fight at welterweight. Sure, he's been a champ in 2 other divisions (undisputed in one), but somehow he's been criticized for his record by some.

Although he won a title in his very first fight at welter by stoppage and stopped every opponent he's faced there since, he sees this as his chance to finally show the naysayers who he is at welterweight.

Porter always comes up short in champpionship fights, except once when he got a very close decision against Danny Garcia. He's been at welterweight his entire career and sees this as do or die. He's put "WAR" on his jacket in homage to the late GREAT Marvin Hagler who did the same prior to his classic fight with Tommy Hearns.

Who's going to seize their opportunity tonight? Who will achieve what they've come to achieve? Will there be an upset? Will Bud be the first to stop Porter?
