Fighters make their rings. First, it’s Porter, a two-time welterweight champion, accompanied by rapper Rhapsody as he walks the long distance to the squared circle. Then comes Crawford, ringside in a white robe and black hem to LL Cool J’s I’m Bad.

Hello and welcome to tonight’s WBO welterweight match between Terrence Crawford and Sean Porter. Crawford, the longtime 147-pound champ who has been on the shelf since a TKO win over Briton Kell Brook last year, is seeking to cement his claim as the world’s best fighter against Pound vs. Porter, who took a dominant win over Sebastian. Formella in August.

Fantastic junk, that’s it. Crawford is a huge favourite by merit – most odds makers list him as a 5/1 best – but no one ever looks good against the skilled athlete, two-time belt holder in the boxing magic department. The consensus is that tonight’s showdown will be either an iconic Crawford performance against perhaps the highest quality opponent of his career or an all-out war between two of the best heavyweights of their generation.
