Good fighter but I expect him to be a pretty easy puzzle for Crawford to figure out. It’s just a case of levels really. I can’t see anyone except father time giving Crawford problems at 154 tbh.
Even with Madrimovs size advantage?
Crawford is 5'8" with a 74" reach.
Madrimov is 5'8.5" with a 68.5" reach.
Crawford will have a considerable reach advantage.
Pretty Good that it might possibly go to the distance, uses slick footwork and angles, has good power though he is not as powerful as Crawford was at 147, and he also mostly throw long range punch combinations like Bivol does either when exiting in or out.
The only thing I say he shouldn't do against Crawford is not to try throwing the wide looping punches he often uses. He also doesn't have nowhere near the same experience as Bud as a pro. Though Madrimov is at least in his physical prime now compared to the declining veteran who is moving upm
He's pretty good now that he stopped with the excessive movement. Crawford's IQ is off the charts though so it won't matter.
