The way he said he 'planned that' sounds really suspect to me.... he basically had the thought of doubt that his son could beat Terrence

[@dirkdiggler7317]

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

[@chiefsosa8123]

Literally said he didn’t like his training

[@toolegit7668]

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.

[@ralphgibson4232]

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

[@CommentGawd]

Funny how people are criticising a father/son relationship that they have no genuine experience of or such an honest relationship between father and son. Takes a real man to take his son to the heights of boxing and still remain in his life and career without being a ‘yes’ man, rather both of them have been stand-up gentlemen throughout. 💯

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

[@clevesterrolfe7947]

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.

[@AliFrankTheTank]

I’m convinced Kenny knew that was the only way to make the fight about him 😂😂🤣🤣 he wanna be a PPV boxer or something so bad lolol

[@MrOzzieoz]

I think deep down inside, Shawn Porter knows his father did him wrong! Look at Shawn's reaction in the 10th round of disbelief when his dad said that's it!. He said he wanted to continue and that he could when he was interviewed in the ring. Shawn is a great son who greatly respects his father.

[@svgs650r]

@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.

[@vernonholliday8632]

Kenny is not a trainer

[@number1Don]

Porter said after the fight he'd love to do it again with Crawford. His father seems to have some other agenda, Porters too good and went all the way with Spence and Crawford. I actually thought before the fight Porters getting better every fight. Why retire (or be forced into retirement) when you are at your peak. If he hadnt got knocked down in the 10th and Crawford won those last three rounds, Porter may have still nicked it or, at worst it may have been a draw. You saw Crawford worried in the corner after the 9th ASKING THE JUDGES IF HE WAS AHEAD?! Surely this is not allowed and showed he was worried.

[@rayfranco29]

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

[@mightywhitey718]

@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.

[@stokedradar]

@@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.

You could tell Kenny CLEARLY did NOT believe his son could beat crawford, but i saw a really good version of porter the first couple rounds and actually had him ahead of crawford at a certain point. Nobody can want it more than you and when your trainer may have the same goal but is on a different page than things like this happen. Sad to see porter leave so soon. His father really chopped him down as a man over the years.

[@markswanson7394]

Thats a toxic relationship shawn has stockholm syndrome

[@ProjectBimmers]

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

[@svgs650r]

@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!

Big ups n respect to Dad

[@tsmitherz21]

I think so too. Also i wish my dad was with me like his dad.

[@michaelkw1779]

Wow .you respect your father a lot. God bless you. Shon

[@simonchandler5546]

As a father, this is wonderful, what a beautiful relationship ❤️🙏🏿

[@antoniohoward8529]

Shawn Porter didn’t retire from the sport of boxing. He retired from his dad. Shawn knows he can’t fire his dad, Kenny got some weird control over his career. Shawn knew it was best to just retire opposed to firing his dad and continue his boxing career

[@RonelDelgado]

Good stoppage, CRAWFORD was going for the kill if the fight didn’t get stopped

[@cerveceromusic3692]

He planned to stop it ? Wtf ! Dude, he makes no sense . He’s acting like he was getting hit with monster shots . Must’ve betted on the other guy .

[@Gfsceorio]

I HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR THE PORTERS. WELL SAID🎯✅

[@returnoftheking7008]

I respect the decision afyer hearing Kenny's response god bless

[@robb6105]

I respect Porter for riding with his dad his entire career, but to be honest I always felt that Shawn’s style could’ve been polished and taken to another level. However, he choose to stay with his dad. Thank you Shawn for your amazing career. Blessings to you and yours. Don’t forgot to invest your money into, stocks, real estate, crypto, commodities, bonds, tech etc. so you can continue to take care of that beautiful family.

[@michaelfaraday8391]

The love and respect is too deep to be broken by stupid rumors. I wish i have him as a father. very caring. criticize him as you want at the end of the day he still has his on strong and healthy

[@fitwithvic5300]

Shawn’s dad is so damn wise and just listening to him is a privilege in my opinion ❤️

[@ruelparagele2941]

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

[@user-zb5fc3hy8m]

I love their relationship

[@javierarroyo2305]

Kenny Porter dad of the year, future hall of fame dad

[@jamaaldaynitelong8367]

01:48...😁 :Kenny You look goofy as hell grinning like that after your son just went to war and lost and you cheesing when someone gives you a compliment...It just looks bad regardless of what you say.

[@juancaban4650]

Anybody who has an actual relationship with their son/daughter knows what the fuck it is. A lot of these so called fans would rather see people fight to the death rather than enjoy their health and family. Granted I feel like Kenny should've been private about the details, but Shawn definitely handled the situation with class and acceptance. Dude can hold his head up high: inarguably one of the top 3 resumes in modern boxing and a hell of an entertaining style inside and outside the ring. Sending my unconditional love and support to Shawn and his family.

[@jayleincantrell4679]

Read between the lines the man saying Shawn didn’t train like he use to

[@viralhiphopnowpage]

Man this is dope Father of the Year

[@E.S.4L]

Real shit💯 respect Mr. Porter💯☝🏾

[@imaginethat5115]

Shawn is a very respectful man to his dad ❤ humble in the moment. I love the bond. Great team letting Terrence move forward done with BOB..terrance mom always said he was the best.. Now he is on a mission. Much respect MR. Porter😉

[@josegambino7270]

Mr. Porter doesn't respect his son enough like his respects him tho, you don't stop the your sons or any Boxers fight like that period.

[@josegambino7270]

He son's legacy, self respect, pride etc is on the riding on this, he should've talked w his son after that round ended and explained his concerns and intentions instead of throwing in the towel like a coward cuz he feels his son not gonna make it. Damn 🤡

[@REHYPHENUPSTV]

Damn having a father in your corner is everything 💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

[@margamantoni]

Respect to Sean Porter ....the Man and the Fighter

[@JigglemySac]

Because this fight was a business move not a fight for a title. I respect the business side, the fighting side not even a little bit..

[@omarvelasquez3278]

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 !

[@dontaybell5902]

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

[@JigglemySac]

@@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..

[@JigglemySac]

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

[@proudpakistani6466]

Kenny is basically saying he came to the fight for a pay day. This man should never have been around to be in his corner..

[@svgs650r]

@ proud pakistani. no he didn’t!

[@quranmcgrier7761]

💯💯 his dad did the right thing

[@kingkweku9761]

I have to comment on Kenny's premature stoppage...it was ridiculous...I have trained fighters and been in the ring as a fighter and im also a father...Kenny thinks he knows everything about his son but he doesn't at all, that fight should have continued, porter was doing great, he wasn't hurt at all, just 2 back to back knockdown in the later rounds and that was nothing, fury was down twice in the same round in the wilder trilogy fight and still came back to win, and many other fighters have been thru worse situations in the ring and still came back to win at the end of the fight....this is boxing and its a physical combat sport Kenny, anything can happen at any time to change the outcome of the fight but your son was doing great the whole time until you stopped it...I totally disagree with your judgment of him...he dominated most of the rounds and put all the pressure on Crawford...Shawn needs to put his feet on the ground and start telling his pops how he really feels...he doesn't decide your destiny, you do...he is not on the big stage, you are!!!! Win, lose or draw, you make that decision for yourself bro..you did great and your father needs some serious life and boxing coaching lessons

[@ypetersen4955]

Facts 💯

[@schboye]

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

[@millymenace]

No

[@marshtermind]

Crawford is a calculated killer with precise accuracy

[@valentinhynkel3890]

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

[@walidshabazz5193]

Tonight we all have been shown something about true valor... fatherhood and a son's honor and humbleness..There are many lessons we learnt tonight from this encounter: how a boxing match resulted into one of life's most important and priceless values, the impact of a father's presence in his son's life.

[@nicholasl8537]

SP is an inspiration to others he should train and be a coach to youngers that are up and coming

[@tomgeiger7058]

Couple issues: 1). Would we really not want a Corralis/Castillo possibility in the sport? 2). Do we not want the picture in our minds of Joe Goossen climbing thru the ropes and embracing his fighter? 3). Don’t we want to see if Shawn could hold and dance and survive a tough round? 4). Don’t we want to know if after surviving the round and getting instruction that his superior training gave him the ability to physically come back? 5). Wouldn’t we want to see if Bud gets careless when he knows his opponent is hurt and might get caught coming in? I know that Kenny likes to talk about having breakfast the next day and 1000 more breakfasts going forward…but I wonder if just one of those breakfasts Shawn might look at his dad and say “why didn’t you give me a chance?” Lastly if Kenny said that Shawn didn’t train properly…isn’t that on Kenny? I didn’t like the stoppage obviously for the above stated reasons.

[@TheBigSXC]

So, why did you stop the fight?

[@lunytunez7083]

Porter was in the fight before the flash knockdowns and still had a lot of fight in him…. He wasn’t hurt bad stoppage
