hes not a nobody he just fought for a vacant title in saudi last month & in april of 2023 he beat Raphael Igbokwe

Can't find much about the fight except a tweet from Fernando Barbosa talking about how Crawford allegedly has support from Alalshikh and allegedly wants to make that fight. I'd like to see that fight, I think Crawford has 2-3 more great fights in him but Madrimov is no slouch but relatively unknown, will that fight really happen? Crawford needs to fight as soon as possible.

Who the fook is this guy?

He is a Kazak ****** with the name Israil

You will see who he is when Crawford goes life and death with him

[Gary Coleman]

OK...



He reminds me of a hybrid GGG and Lomachenko.

He may have power, but he's slow and predictable and leaves his lead hand around his waist.

Tell me which fight to watch where you see Lomachenko.

[Roadblock]

After 100s of posts where is the confirmation?

[Inoue Body Shot]

Crawford wins by stoppage.

This guy is very good, recently won the vacant WBA title against Kurbanov stopping him fairly easily and fought Soro twice both ended in controversy but he clearly had the upperhand and proved he was the better fighter. I wouldn't heavily favor Tszyu or Fundora over Soro if you have seen him fight. If Crawford takes this fight, I can see him possibly losing

yeah i watched some of him now, he looks good, his hands are fast and hes got power. he keeps his hands low, so that is good for crawford but i wonder if it will be enough, will crawfords power/counters be enough at 154 to keep this guy at bay or will he be able to close the distance and land and hurt an older crawford.

Madirmov passed what tests I have seen him in with flying colors but Bud is an elite fighter with alot of tools but he is getting older and he would be fighting a bigger fresher fighter who is going to apply intelligent pressure. It is what makes this interesting, we can't say with any certainty what would happen which makes this on paper a good fight. No one likes show cases where world beaters smash smaller fighters and old journeymen.
