CONFIRMED: Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov next

[rickJen]

Where has it been confirmed? Definitely lots of rumors saying it’s gonna be the Saudi’s first main event in US. though.

Crawford definitely would want large chunks of that Saudi oil money.

30 yr old uzbek never fought for a title

thats why hes not so well known, dont know much about him myself really

normally these guys dont get a shot v a top p4p guy tho

Agree. That’s the only way this fight is happening. Saudi money.

It took crawford a year to make a fight with bo**** cousin a uzbestani cab driver? are you ***ing kidding me?

Very good fighter. WBO don't "F" around with PBC, put Fundora in recess and he can have the winner. Nobody has time for the November nonsense.

Crawford vs Madrimov for WBO/WBA unification.

He is no different from guys like Bivol, Beterbiev when all those guys had a couple of fights. Now people want to cry because they don't recognize the name.

Again, no one has time to play with PBC and the WBO belt and this clown BS with Spence!

ok to be fair some of these ****** soviet guys are strong as *** and some are bums. is this guy a killer? then crawford could get upset

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

oh yes i see he does have a belt

now i understand a bit better with him

hard to say until these guys face better opposition, sometimes they are good and sometimes not good

I'm going to say he is better, definitely stronger, than an undefeated Kavaliauskas who put up a good fight vs. Crawford. I don't think Crawford will be able to walk him down like he did Spence and Kaval but I could be wrong.

I don't think it is confirmed but would be an excellent fight if true.

He reminds me of GGG except he keeps his hands low and he’s slightly slower. Seems more powerful than his record indicates. He has an extensive amateur career. Could be an interesting fight. Crawford is old now. Might be better if he fought boots instead of this Russian.

He has better footwork than GGG and slightly better defense. But GGG has a better jab, inside game,IL iq, and can cut the ring off.
