Shawn Porter joins Fight Hub TV and shares his perspective on the upcoming British heavyweight clash between Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua, but also talks about some other fights in the works between Oleksandr Usyk and Deontay Wilder, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez, and more. Here\u2019s some of what he had to say below.<\/p>\n
Porter on the Fury vs AJ matchup<\/p>\n
\u201cI think Tyson Fury wins that fight. I feel like there wasn\u2019t truly that many scenarios where I saw Anthony Joshua beating Tyson Fury. There\u2019s definitely bias there, definitely a lot of fandom there for me. Personally, I\u2019ve always felt like Tyson was the \u2018it\u2019 in the heavyweight division. At the risk of calling out Usyk, I believe those fights would have gone different had Tyson Fury not had the three fights with Deontay Wilder\u2026I think for Usyk, it was timing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, Usyk got Tyson Fury at the best time but with that all being said\u2026AJ, he has lost a step. Tyson Fury has lost a step as well but when you\u2019re already three steps ahead and that person lost a step, we\u2019ll you\u2019re four steps ahead. Well, I lost a step \u2014 I\u2019m still three steps ahead of you. So, that\u2019s how I see this fight.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think he knocks out AJ but I think he out-hustles him, I think he out-boxes him, I think he out-styles him.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Oleksandr Usyk being lined up to face Deontay Wilder<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is kind of like flipped upside down for a second, huh. But, again, let\u2019s remember this \u2014 those four guys are guys that are literally ending their careers, they\u2019re not in the middle. They\u2019re signing off.\u201d<\/p>\n
On a Ryan Garcia vs Teofimo Lopez fight in the works<\/p>\n
\u201cThat fight should be happening Cinco de Mayo weekend, not a moment sooner\u2026I think Ryan Garcia beats Teofimo Lopez. Teo\u2019s good, Teo sits back on the back foot. Ryan\u2019s a great leadoff hitter, bringing that right hand behind it, he\u2019s swinging a left early and often. I don\u2019t know, man. Teo\u2019s going to have to have some tricks. I haven\u2019t seen tricks from Teo in a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Shawn Porter joins Fight Hub TV and shares his perspective on the upcoming British heavyweight clash between Tyson…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":923637,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,711,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-923636","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923636","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=923636"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923636\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/923637"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=923636"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=923636"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=923636"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
