SHAWN PORTER - Former world champ on Charlo v Tszyu and Spence v Crawford

·31 min
Boxing commentary with Shawn Porter (former two-time world champion) discussing Tim Zhu's emerging stardom in Australia. Porter commentated on Zhu's fights against Tony Harrison and Carlos Ocampo in Australia. Assessment: Zhu is most impressive for mental strength, toughness, courage, and confidence despite staying active without guaranteed title fight. Porter confidently calls Zhu 'best move boxer in boxing right now.' Technical analysis: Harrison exposed Zhu's defensive vulnerability to high-velocity jabs (unique among welterweights), but Zhu overwhelmed him late. Against Ocampo, Zhu dominated but defense correction wasn't observed. Charlo threat: Americans watching are now concerned for Charlo. Porter advises Zhu to move to US for training camp, observe Spence-Crawford crowd atmosphere, train with American fighters, and receive American media exposure before October Charlo bout.
