Pre-fight fanfare fills the air and the articles they'll write.

This is about talk, not scoring points,

making them, equips, sentences, pronouncements, and a sign.

Everything that's required to be parents, I got it.

Come November 20th. I'm going to step on it.

And when the dust from this encounter clears,

the age old wisdom will be even clearer.

Actions speak louder than words.

The truth will be told in the fight.

It's Fight Week in Las Vegas and there's always a special feeling in Sin City

when two self-made stars are ready to risk it all in a highly competitive fight,

such as the case for Terrence Crawford and Sean Porter,

there's a sense that anything can happen once they step into the ring at the Mandelae Bay.

Good afternoon. I'm Bernardo Osunin.

We kick off Crawford Porter Fight Week right here in Las Vegas on all of the ESPN platforms,

ESPN Plus, ESPN.com, Sports Center and ESPN.

This is what the schedule looks like starting with today's final press conference hosted by Joe Tessator,

followed immediately by Max on boxing.

He'll be here all week, by the way.

On Thursday at 10 p.m. Eastern on ESPN Plus,

Unified Junior Lightweight Champion, Michaela Mayer joins us for this date of boxing.

Friday at 5 p.m. we'll carry the line way in on ESPN news.
