Bud Crawford headed to Saudi

[edpboxing]

Madrimov, possibly Tszyu

heard someone on a boxing show yesterday say Madrimov has a hand injury, any truth to that?

Does he like to be active though? Seems like a once a year fighter.

Crawford was a minimum of 2 fights per under TopRank. Covid slowed everything down for 2 years. He did try to sue TR for a fight which was owed him. Then he goes over to PBC and one fight every 18 months PBC contracts to fight Spence. What did you think was going to happen? He was going to turn into a 3-4 fight per year fighter? Make a run with 3 times undisputed with Saudi. Best situation for him at the end of his career. I liken him to Beterbiev. He may be good for another 2-3 years before a serious slide

he;ll be fighting a no namer.

Hopefully the Saudi’s keep him active, I’d like to see him try and clean out 154. Start with Tim for the vacant WBO, then unify with either Madrimov or Murtazaliev. Meanwhile Spence likely gets Fundora for the WBC. You could potentially have Crawford-Spence II for undisputed at 154. I don’t have that much interest in the rematch as the first fight wasn’t competitive enough to warrant one but if it was for undisputed, I’d be far more inclined to see it happen.

Good for Crawford. It's what he's been waiting for. Not good for the sport, though, imho, rewarding inactive fighters with lucrative deals.

Looks like he’s headed to LA first.

My bad man, I only just seen the Madrimov fight was in the US. I thought it was Saudi.
