WBO wanting their slice of the Saudi pie.

So if Crawford wins, Fundora has to face him next or be stripped of a belt. But also if Crawford wins, he has to defend against Charlo next or be stripped of a different belt. Happy this fight is happening but imagine having to explain all of this political belt fuckery to somebody who just started watching the sport.

Right on. Bud will be unified within 2 fights.

Unless he loses, Madirmov is a good fighter who has passed what tests he has taken thus far with flying colors. He is the natural jr middle and applies intelligent pressure.

This will be on DAZN? Hoping it’s not PPV

Easy work for Crawford

Could be looking like a Crawford - Spence undisputed. Guess it depends on if Crawford wants to move on up to MW and how quickly

[Gary Coleman]

Madrimov has a punchers chance and nothing more. He's too slow and basic for Crawford.

Too stiff and mechanical to beat Bud. Why is he even getting the nod to fight Bud and he only has 10 pro fights under his belt?
