CONFIRMED: Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov next

[deathofaclown]

Hell of a fight if true, he's no joke

[ImDominicanLipz]

Anyone defending Crawford taking this fight is the reason why boxing is at an all time low

[Teetotaler69]

The idiots shlting on Israil are morons lmao dude is bigger and much MUCH better than booty ennis who doesn't even want it

[K--]

I'll take anything from Crawford at this point. Fight anybody! Somebody!

What the hell are you talking about?

Madrimov is:
WBA Champion
#3 at TBRB
#3 at The Ring Magazine
#3 at ESPN
#3 at BLH

How is facing a consensus top 3 fighter for a belt in his first fight in a new weight class a bad fight?

Bud handles him with EASE…too fast, too skilful, ambidextrous with knockout power. That’s why he’s arguably #1 p4p fighter on the planet.

The Uzbek quite simply ain’t on his level.

It's a very good litmus test for whether people actually follow boxing. The casuals are outing themselves left and right in this thread. Boots is a good analog in some ways though. They are both good switch hitters, and both seemed to have their careers stall for a while squandering some momentum.

this guy has copied haneys alias 'The Dream', cheap shot right there

[Smash]

hes had one fight in 2022 and one in 2023 with 10 in total

not exactly the usual route up the rankings

No, what the hell are YOU talking about.

In no way am I saying Israil is not a good fighter. But he has 11 fights and doesn't have stand out talent. Bud said he only wants big fights. Are you going to try to convince me this is a big fight? Are you trying to convince me that Madrimov has shown anything that says he should be in the ring with Bud?

BOXING SCENE LOGIC
Tank vs undefeated PRIME 18-0 Frank Martin. It's a cherry pick
Canelo vs undefeated PRIME 43-0 Munguia. It's a cherry pick
Benavidez refuses to fight standout WBA champion Morrell. Morrell hasn't done enough
Crawford fights 10-0 contender. It's a good fight for Bud.
