Please don’t flip the script, or try to change the narrative. This was supposed to be the man’s biggest test, and he passed it with flying colors.#Respect @terencecrawford @trboxing

Shawn Porter put up a valiant effort against the WBO champ. However, ‘Bud’ proved to be too clinical for Porter to go up against. Crawford selected his shots carefully and timed them perfectly. Creating space for himself by avoiding Porter’s combos and then connecting with counters as Porter charged in.
Another PORTER ROUND

Errol Spence Jr. just arrived to his ringside seat for #CrawfordPorter. He defeated Shawn Porter in one of 2019’s best fights. Now that he’s been cleared to fight, will see him fight Terence Crawford next year with a Bud victory?

Shawn Porter’s career is one that most fighters could have had but let politics and fear of risk get in the way. He fought everyone when others wouldn't and gave every single fighter he stepped into the ring with hell. He left everything inside of that damn ring.

Shawn Porter's father/corner just threw in the towel, metaphorically anyway.
Crawford wins and becomes the first fighter to stop Shawn Porter.

Crawford’s game plan worked perfectly, as he got himself into a rhythm. Porter, on the other hand, could not find his rhythm as he tried to disrupt his opponent’s flow. A disappointed Porter left the arena with his father by his side. Even after losing, Porter smiled one last time as he gave his post-fight interview.

“Well, you see what I did, compared to what he did.” They then showed the moment Spence left the arena after watching Porter hit the canvas. Crawford then looked to the audience and said, “Ay listen, my thing is, who number one in the Welterweight division now?” The crowd responded with cheers as they pointed towards him.
