Comments Thread For: WBO to Sanction Terence Crawford-Israil Madrimov as Interim Title Fight

[hhh1200]

Crawford will adjust to the rights within 2 rounds. I suspect this fight will be similar to Kaval. Not a good fight for Crawford he gives ground. Look for 2-3 knockdowns by Crawford and ref stoppage.


Crawford WBO/WBA 154. Saudis road to 3 times undisputed starring Bud Crawford

So what happens with this???

I guess we have to wait on the WBA decision???

Charlo's team subsequently said they won't stand in the way of Crawford - Madrimov.

Because he's literally the best available belt holder at 154... Stiff and mechanical is a weird description of Madrimov too.

He probably hasn't seen him fight. archiemoore1 is just some American mouth breather, unaware of anything that happens outside of US social media.

Suppose Bud came in at 158 and said forget the title, just to beat up Madrimov. This place would light up.

The WBO are extremely loyal to Crawford.

Nah, they just follow their rules.

Wba ruled bud/madrimov next since contracts were already signed. Charlo can fight the winner.

Bud may be dull, but I don't miss the mind games, the loud mouth daddys, or the trickeration.

Crawford doing what he does best, fighting paper champions or perhaps taking on guys who just had eye surgery or accidents...

I'm actually really interested in this fight, because how often do we get a chance to see two skilled switch hitters in a fight? Both have the ability to fight from either side. Madrimov even switches mid combo sometimes. Could make for some really interesting adjustments for those of us who appreciate the technical aspects of boxing. And they're both pretty good finishers (excellent in the case of Crawford) with good power. Crawford is just so dang good, but the big fights at 154 all present interesting challenges for him. I think he's still gotta be favorite, but since Fundora gives him that ridiculous height and reach to deal with, Madrimov is going to be one of the most skilled guys he's fought, and Charlo of course managed to reach undisputed and should have a big size advantage, each one should give us a better look at Bud's abilities.

Still crying about the spencerina loss I see

Wrong guy, buddy. You can go back and look at all my pre fight posts for that fight, I never thought Spence would win. I always said he was too basic and methodical to beat Crawford. I gave Crawford full credit for that fight and made no excuses whatsoever. Crawford is the man right now, but I don’t think he’s invincible.
