Thoughts: I like Crawford to win this by stoppage, but Porter’s too durable for me to recommend betting on a specific outcome. Compromising with the over/under is out as well, as that’s right around the time I expect Crawford to find the hypothetical finish.
If you’re not keen on overcomplicating things, go for Crawford straight-up and use it to juice up your parlays. If you’re down for Byzantine arrangements, consider hedging your bets with the two likeliest outcomes: Crawford in 7-12 rounds at +225 and Crawford by decision at -125. Crawford’s generally more of an attrition finisher than a one-shot knockout machine, so if Porter’s chin does end up failing him, it’ll be in the later rounds.
