As the clock ticks on towards Nov 20, there are sure to be numerous predictions floating about. According to our research and fight knowledge, Terrence Crawford is an early favorite. Crawford’s craftiness, agility, and hunger are all key factors that make him the bookies’ pick. Also, he’s the current champ, so he is most likely to be the favorite. 

However, we all know that nothing is for certain in this sport. For this, we only need to look at Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk wherein the British boxer lost, despite being the betting favorite. Moreover, Terrence is also the champion and has the experience required to outwit an up-and-coming contender like Porter. 

Although Porter boasts a near-perfect 31-3-1- record, his opponent Terrence has also been in good form lately. As such, come Nov 20th, Terrence will either make yet another title defense or Shawn Porter will become the new WBO welterweight champion. As for our prediction, we are going with the bookies’ picks: Terrence Crawford to win via KO/TKO.
