I will eventually. Watching the telecast I felt I saw Crawford dominating the majority of the fight but listening to Mora and Mannix I second guessed myself.
I shot my self-confidence in scoring when I attended the Paro-Matias fight in Puerto Rico and felt Matias was winning and then when I watched it on the DAZN telecast I realized I was being swayed majorly by the hometown fight crowd. Paro just never let Matias get his rhythm going.
Naturally in a fight like this, seeing Porter/Mora/Mannix at odds made me think the fight was up in the air.
I haven’t seen enough people giving credit to Crawford for those brutal body shots though. Kinda’ like when Haney was landing body shot after body shot in the Loma fight.
How did you have it by the way, Mula?
I scored it 9/3 but had my two daughters with me ( they are beginning to wnjoy the sport ) so I could be off but certainly not by much
Manixx is on dope , has literally no fughin clue what Color the sky is , sorry but wow
Porter seemed to be riding Bud so his loss won’t look so bad lol
Mora I thought was evidently seeing what I saw but still sticking to the script to make it more than it was
I just thought that Madrimov was very gun shy and didn’t throw enough to win a fight
But kudos to you for admitting getting swayed by the crowd
At least you realized it and admit to it not like many others here
I suggest you watch it over cause the fight was not as close as people saying
All the body work that Bud did started paying off in the championship rounds but some seem to not count body shots lmao

Razor close fight as expected.
Madrimov was trickier than expected. I don’t know what the consensus is cause I just finished watching it now really late but I’m going to bed.
I wish I had the fortitude to sit through that again but that fight felt close because there’s not a lot to go score by.
Madrimov landed a lot of clean punches but I felt Bud slipped under the radar with **** ton of body shots.
It was close. Madrimov fought very well and is not easy to look good against. Thought Bud looked better in the championship rounds but that was close as hell.
I didn’t score it round by round but it felt like it was a fight that could’ve gone 116-112 Crawford to maybe 115-113 Madrimov. But again, I’d have to sit and watch without being on pins and needles like I was watching it fresh.

As I said, fighters from those ex soviet countries aren't soft Americans that need to fight 25 stiffs before stepping up.
Plenty have done big things once they get the opportunity and often after not so many fights.
What did I get wrong? Madrimov loss a wide UD on my card and not a single judge thought he won.
I don't get the soft American dig. Yall in too deep.
I put $100 on Madrimov. He hits hard is definitely the more explosive athlete.
I'll probably pay for once again doubting Bud with his sublime skills and ring acumen.
When people talk about a guys power and skill set, you have to ask ''who did he fight ?!!?!?!''
Sheesh....everyone looks like a God when they are fighting bums.
All joking aside, I DO believe that Madrimov will make Crawford look decent, but not as great or straight up phenomenal as he’s looked in the past three or four fights. Crawford is beatable, his X factor is really turning it up in the latter half. Gamboa/Porter/Kavaliuskas all had great success early on.
I’ve had Crawford winning this fight by a close UD or MD. People look at his god-like performance against Spence and assume he’s going to do that to everyone.
I don’t think he will against Madrimov but I would love to be wrong.

Who's with me?
Madrimov stops bud between 6-8.

You really think he stops Bud in the mid-rounds?
Madrimov hands are too slow. Crawfish will light him up
Madrimov isn't slower than Crawford's previous opponents. TC likes to mix it up, which means he'll make himself available for Madrimov. I'm interested in seeing if Madrimov can capitalize on those opportunities.
For me, the intrigue of this fight lies in whether Madrimov can rise to the occasion. We know how good TC is, but I don't think Madrimov has hit his ceiling yet.
He has what 11 pro fights? He's not beating Bud. This isn't the amateurs.

yeah spence looked like he was wearing lead boots walking underwater. madrimov isnt going to look like that, madrimov is pretty quick and good on his feet just leaves himself open
seeing them side by side, crawford still doesnt look small for 154. i think crawford will win but its not going to be easy. madrimov is very athletic and good movement his only downfall here is he rushes in and keeps his hands low a lot, crawford should be able to time and land him, but this guy is naturally larger than the guys crawford is used to while being athletic and young
Professional experience won't matter
fighters from these ex soviet countries dont need to fight bums for 25 fighters before stepping up. We've seen many of them do big things with not too many pro fights.
madrimov is the most athletic guy crawford has fought. He's also got a lot of Judo experience which means Crawford won't easily have the strength advantage like he often does with his wrestling background. He's not flat footed like guys like Spence.
It's a good fight. Madrimov would walk through Bud's resume. Including post-crash Spence.

I got no stake in this fight but would be funny if Crawford loses people been gassing him up so much since he beat an inactive and possibly injured Spence, this is the same guy who was dropped by mean machine they be talking about he's better than Mayweather/Pacquaio the hype train needs derailing a little bit he's a great fighter but the hype is too much.
