The fact that Shawn was dealing with such a devastating lose and was still consoling his dad speaks volumes of who Shawn is as a person. That’s why he’s such a loved person.
Talking about his loss in front of millions. Expressing feelings emotions let down. Takes a real man to do that others would make excuses. Shawn is a great person.
@@derrickbrown6692 u see this is the bullshit I’m talking about. We beg fighters to stop protecting their 0 and fight the best and give us great fights. But when they lose they get disregarded like Porter. But u see people giving Jermall Charlo credit for fighting nobodies and being undefeated.
@@tankisolefeta5798 You are the type of people Shawn and his dad are talking about. You don't care about a boxers well being, they are just entertainment to you, so why should Shawn Porter's dad care about trash boxing fans like you?
I wish his dad didn't stop that fight. Shawn wasn't even hurt. Spenc fight got way more hurt. Shawn wasn't even fazed from either knockdown from Crawford.
Nobody has your back more than your pops, i respect u Shawn for stickin by whatever he felt was right, that stoppage was nothing compared to what snakes do in the boxing game on a daily
What an incredible man. So open and honest. I don't learn much from people these days, so many bots. But this man is someone I will take notes on regarding character. Much love SP, would love to build with this man.
Agreed bro, selfish people saying they should have let him fight. They don’t think about a father watching his son drop for the first time. Why let your son take punishment when you believe he didn’t prepare properly.
Right bro, it’s called R.E.S.P.E.C.T, no way in hell he should have said the shit he said, stand up for yourself for once, we all have someone in life we should stand up to(without being disrespectful).
@@rawgaming8394 100% agree. His dad had already said that before the fight. He threw in the towel based on his pride/ego more than saving Shawn. To me, Shawn seemed to have 1 foot into retirement already. He showed no real emotion about the fight being stopped. He was too "ok" with the fight being stopped. It almost felt like his dad didn't really think he could beat Crawford. Had Tyson Furys corner prematurely stopped any fight with Wilder, he never would've won the belt. With Kenny acting that way, Ali never would've had an opportunity to beat Foreman. Bottom line, Kenny was being Kenny. And Shawn is now being Shawn trying to save face and clean it up. He wasn't paying him to be his dad. He was paying him to be his trainer. He was fully aware of what was going on and his trainer should've given him instructions on what adjustments to make in the next round.
@@mamasboy2268 tbh I believe Kenny thought it wasn’t going to make it to the next rd it was a lot of time on the clock n porter was already mentally defeated as he explained himself
Shawn Porter, your maturity is incredible. I have always admired your relationship with your dad. I thought he risked alienating you when he made those statements about training camp. For you to understand his intention and control yourself the way you did is admirable. You are a role model to many. God bless you.
I totally thought the stoppage didn't make sense for Shawn.... so many reasons... I was mad for him. But if Shawn has this much peace about it, then who cares, that's what it's all about.
He ain’t clear up nothing because he lied and y’all dead letting him get away with it because y’all like him lol he said they were experiencing something that ain’t never happen before he never been knocked down and that’s a lie adrien broner dropped his ass
I love the Porters. I was team Bud for the fight but in the 35 years I've been a fan of boxing I've never been sadder seeing a fighter lose. I'm a huge Shawn fan as a fighter and person and hated seeing him lose like that but letting the fight go would've been worse. I'm glad he's healthy and good with his dad. Two great men.
You are truly a blessing to boxing, Shawn Porter. I wish you and your dad, all the best as you have represented Ohio well! Much love to you and your family!!
When Shawn told Kenny no, that was the beginning of the end and they both knew it. It doesnt get better and that means father time has made his presence known.
What an amazing insight to the dynamics between an athlete and coach and on another level son and father. You two don't need to justify your opinions or descions to ANYONE!! Congratulations to an increadbile career Team Porter. Agree you we're all in it together!
This is the most honest, heart felt real presentation from a boxer that I have ever seen. He defied his father's advice and paid the price...to admit that is gold!!
Applause to you, Shawn Porter (and Pop Porter), for the quality of fighter you are and have been, to a great father/son duo and for being a role model to those in and out of the sport! Champ, thank you for all you've given to this sport. I wish you continued health, success and a Happy Thanksgiving! - Signed, A Shawn Porter Fan!
As a father I definitely can feel what your father did. You still a HOF top 3 in your era and Mr. Porter can be nothing but proud of the man he raised and you'll always be respected in and out. Best part is when your kid walked in... Did think he was a quick call to the end of the fight but us fans see the game different cause we ignorant to the in and out
@@OgSleep when he goes out on his shield and possibly gets hurt beyond repair would you be the one to nurse him. I’m guessing no…that would rest on his family’s laps
Dumbass fans want entertainment dont give 2 fucks about the athletes health im glad kp stopped the fight 1 more shot to the head could’ve end it all for shawn
@@OgSleep y’all being simple he’s not just his coach he’s his father he birthed tha man. First responsibility for a coach is to the fighter. As he said he’s his father “ he’s not going to let him get hurt “ life is more than boxing y’all need to get out of that shield shit that’s how you end up like That McClendon fighter in the early 90s I hate hearing people say that shit man. We sound like ignorant fans wanting a warrior to die for wha? Or pleasure no bueno IMO. 🤷🏿♂️ I’m just sayin no hate at all to anybody else
I like the way the co hosts said they disagreed with Kenny Porters decision and Shawn was still cool and didn't seem offended..shows he has real friends and he has a good character 👌🏿
I don't know how much Porter read these but I want to personally thank you for the great fights you put on for us. You are a true warrior and a Hall of fame fighter in my book because you fought every one who was relevant. As a fan I'm kinda heart broken but I understand when it's time it's time. Thank you and wish you the best on the future ahead.
This guy is a real ass human. Him and his dads relationship is beautiful. Men everywhere still needs their fathers as adults. I love it. He’ll win his next fight because of this. ✊🏿 Salute Kings!
I like how his son came with a book. Kenny wanted Shawn to have the ability to enjoy those moments without issues. 🙏🏿🙌🏾💪🏾✊🏾 that's a real fathers love ❤️ respect
Shawn porter is done. He knew he was done. Clearly says things in camp I didn’t want to do. Clear sign. Doesn’t get any clearer. He mentally retired. Took the fight out of pride and respect as a boxer and fighter. Porter making money on podcast. He’s good. God bless his father for seeing the signs. Not worrying bout the money or fame. Protect my son.
Thank you for your father and you sharing your truth, at the same time allowing each other to speak and live their truth. I have been thinking a lot about relationships for men and between men. Inspiring and Powerful.
Still, it was not right for your dad to throw you under the bus like he did. Him revealing what happened in camp in front of thousands of fans should be more embarrassing than you getting knocked down. That conversation should have been had back at the hotel _(before you thank him for anything)_ that should have been private, just as the camp was. You sitting here in pains trying to play advocate for him is rather concerning. This doesn’t sound right, especially after you said _”NO”_ to him for the _”FIRST TIME”_ in your life. 🤔
in a moment of candor the father had to let the world know he did not do certain things at training that he asked him .why would you want the father to take those silly knockdown blemish when shawn was a coach onto himself.it must be a lesson to all athletes that do as the coach tells you.do not pick and choose training regimes.easy training regimes do not improve you as a boxer rather go for the strenuous and arduous options the gaffer has on the table....you cant beat the master.
@@joackimkanengoni9480 We are not looking at this from the same angle. The question is; has Shawn done that before, i.e disregard his dad’s instructions in training? As he said, he’s NEVER said _NO_ to his dad/disregard his orders. Then why now, in the biggest fight and defining moment of his career?🤷🏻♂️ And don’t you find it strange that Shawn says there never was a conversation about stopping the fight, and that it caught him by surprise?🤔 I suspect this to be much deeper than we’re lead to believe. The impromptu retirement announcement speaks volumes. 🤔 But let’s wait and see.
I agree with your dad, his decision to stop the fight and also broadcasting the statement pertaining to your training and preparation. (Nothing wrong with being transparent) The reason I agree is simple; We have a tendency as people to judge things based on how we would have handled a situation, we're not Kenny, he handled it his way.. it was not for us to judge. If Shawn would have gotten hurt in the ring folks would have had something to say about that too. Sad world. 😢 Good job Kenny. Love is what loves does, if love does nothing , then loves is nothing. Kenny loves his boy and his actions showed..The heck with what the world thinks. Praise the Lord
The Winner here is the Relationship they have, the Love and Respect he has for his father vice versa. Besides boxing, this is something we all should inspire by.
I know Kenny slipped up and got over emotional calling the fight but he did Shawn wrong. Not necessarily stopping the fight, but saying what he said right after the fight. You don't ridicule a warrior right after you threw in the towel. I bet you Shawn worked his ass in camp.
Kenny Porter kept it real. He said the way he felt without any fluff. I respect the fact he didn't bull$hit people. The world would be better and a lot more peaceful with a lot less drama if people were honest and straight forward. Thank you to the Porters.
YOU KNOW i had a bad dislike for shawn after the fight with my Nephew but as time went on i Respected him amd his Style of boxing he never Gave up the kids a dog so alot of people feel rhis way so its was shocking for his dad to stop the fight ..So its easy to look sideways at it all...
Much respect to you and your Dad Shawn, but I felt that you should of got a new trainer after the Thurman loss. You will continue to be successful in all you do!
He had a great career at 147. All the money at 147. That's why everyone tries to get there. Pacquiao and Mayweather 140 fighters that moved up for money. The boxers at 140 aren't cashing checks like the ones at 147. If you going to get punched in the head for a living you should be gunning for the biggest check.
Salute. You are a true Warrior. You are so blessed to have a father of that caliber. Learning to be great is a process that I'm pretty sure you'll pass on to your seeds. Much respect!
shawn a lesson of life is the moment your son says no when you are his gaffer know pride has gradually gotten of him.disaster is imminent.shawn every normal father wants the best out of his son.however that moment as the gaffer your son disapproves what you put up for him to follow through already in the mind you know whats coming.a big lesson to all son to father associations.....follow diligently what your daddy asks of you.
B.S Shawn, love you but your Dad is a proud one, one of those my way or the highway types, when it don't go his way he throws tantrums, need to get rid of these father trainers, ain't doing shit in the ring, but have the loudest voice, e.g teofimo snr, because of that dude I can't wait for his son the lose. LOUDMOUTHS
I saw AB put you on your pockets you and your dad had a battle of egos and you were clearly more focused on all the entertainment stuff than being dialed in for the fight and the fans told u this months prior to fight night but you didn't listen to them we follow the sport and we have seen u be full of fire for fights we saw the difference
Rest up. Re-start your career. There is so much more you can do. But, leave your father behind. He cannot take you to the next to level. He loves you. Yes. You love him. Yes. But, it’s time to go on the next journey on your own. It’s the next part of your journey.
Such class and respect, it’s inspiring. And for Shawn Porter to even have this level of respect and the mindset, shows you how much right Shawn’s father had done throughout his life and the efforts to build and maintain a level of trust with his child. Gotta respect it.
This is how an emotionally abused child after years of parental narcissistic abuse answers a question. He’s been obedient his whole life for his daddy’s approval and still continues to do so by defending him embarrassing his own son on a world stage. Sad shit. His dad limited based on his own fear based thinking. He manifested the throwing in of the towel.
It's a family thing and no one comes between that. Great fight, true warrior and I commend you for all of your service in the sport. Blessings champ 💯💯💯
Mr. Porter, you and your father are incredible people, you've given us years of enjoyment and I wish you nothing but success and prosperity, always a champion in my eyes!
Its cool to get to see what goes on inside the mind of such a high level athlete during these moments. Porter is one of the coolest guys out there with a great head on his shoulders.
He’s been the most game dude in all of his fights, he’s a dawg ready to give it his all. Thankful for all the good fights porters been a part of. Thanks champs always
Beautiful relationship , respect and understanding between Father and son . Enjoy your retirement, you’ve entertained Boxing fans all over the world for years . 🙏🙏
The fact that Shawn was dealing with such a devastating lose and was still consoling his dad speaks volumes of who Shawn is as a person. That’s why he’s such a loved person.
It's hard but him and crawford talked about it and decided to fight
Shout out to porter for being a real one for even doing this podcast about his loss.

What! Being honest in front of millions of people?

Shawn Porter should have fought at 140 lbs, not enough power for 147 lbs, lunging punches, should've jabbed his way in

I saw AB put you on your pockets you and your dad had a battle of egos and you were clearly more focused on all the entertainment stuff than being dialed in for the fight and the fans told u this months prior to fight night but you didn't listen to them we follow the sport and we have seen u be full of fire for fights we saw the difference
Rest up. Re-start your career. There is so much more you can do. But, leave your father behind. He cannot take you to the next to level. He loves you. Yes. You love him. Yes. But, it’s time to go on the next journey on your own. It’s the next part of your journey.
Spoken like a true King.
Big love and respect to the Porters from England. ✊🏿
Such class and respect, it’s inspiring. And for Shawn Porter to even have this level of respect and the mindset, shows you how much right Shawn’s father had done throughout his life and the efforts to build and maintain a level of trust with his child. Gotta respect it.
This is how an emotionally abused child after years of parental narcissistic abuse answers a question. He’s been obedient his whole life for his daddy’s approval and still continues to do so by defending him embarrassing his own son on a world stage. Sad shit. His dad limited based on his own fear based thinking. He manifested the throwing in of the towel.
I wouldn't call this emotional abuse. Probably just dependant and a habit.
@GOW years of it repetitively within his experience has trapped him into this mode of thinking. That’s abuse.
nah i disagree it was an intelligent response.
Kenny porter got paid by team Crawford to stop the fight
Porter...you one of the real ones...a legend in the sport
It's a family thing and no one comes between that. Great fight, true warrior and I commend you for all of your service in the sport. Blessings champ 💯💯💯
Mad respect for being so open an honest...I think he explained it perfectly I def have a better understanding now
Mate, you are amazingly compassionate towards your father.
Kudos.
But why did you quit before you even looked to see your dad stop the fight?
That was weird.
Mr. Porter, you and your father are incredible people, you've given us years of enjoyment and I wish you nothing but success and prosperity, always a champion in my eyes!
I respect you man for keeping it real you will always be a great boxer shout out to your dad a great man.
Incredible man, inspiring
Great explanation. Thank you, SP!
Its cool to get to see what goes on inside the mind of such a high level athlete during these moments. Porter is one of the coolest guys out there with a great head on his shoulders.
