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

[archiemoore1]

You must not know much about boxing if you're mentioning Yarde and Degale but not Jimmy Wilde (arguably the greatest Brit) , Bob Fitzsimmons and Carl Froch, And there's also Barry Mcguigan, Jack Berg, Benny Lynch, Josh Taylor, Lloyd Honeyghan, Howard Winstone,Carl Frampton, John Conteh, Chris Eubank, Ricky Hatton, Scott Harrison, Michael Watson, Rinty Monaghan, Ryan Burnett, Ricky Burns, Billy Joe Saunders etc etc.. The list is endless. . Anthony Yarde wouldn't even be in the top 100.

Troll all you want, there's no point replying to your utter nonsense, but UK are a top 5 boxing nation- that's a fact!

Ironically, the Ingle gym styled is actually the most flawed defensive style actually, lacking fundamentals.

Another fact is the entire continent of 55 countries Africa is completely terrible at boxing. The worst continent at boxing. When a European gets drawn against a African in boxing, they think it's their lucky ****ing day!!

Jimmy wilde fought bums. 80 or more of his 100 bouts were against ppl with abysmal records. Name me one good black fighter that wilde fought?? Yarde and degale have modern styles. They'd kill fitzsimmons. Look at the records of most of the ppl he fought. Kid berg punched with no regard for defense. Look at what Tony Canzoneri did to him. Ricky Hatton was a guy who was a hybrid boxer/wrestler/billy goat in the ring. He'd clinch then yank your arms out of socket. Followed by a head butt and a rabbit punch. That's not a great fighter in my opinion. I excluded them all on purpose. History books try to make these guys legends but they don't pass a simple eye test. I like a few of the guys listed but none are all time great fighters. And many seem to not have many black boxers on their record, if any at all. So thatxlll lowers them even further than they appear to be. Scott Harrison? Give me a break. His ring career was so short. He was always on drugs and in prison. Give me a break

Madrimov is only half an inch taller than Crawford and Crawford will have a 5.5 inch reach advantage.

Yeah I just recently saw the face off and was surprised that they were about the same size, must be the reason Bud picked him

Edit: dude only has 10+ fights despite being a champion.

Turk sent an offer to Fundora first. He is 10 inches taller than Crawford with an 8-inch reach advantage. Who did he pick first? Turk is going to send another offer to Fundora in December if all goes well Aug 3rd

Eh, I don't rate Fundora as good, he's the Ryan Garcia of 154, and he was lucky those elbows of his split Tim Tszyu's head wide open and blinded him with all that blood in his eyes.

And you talk complete ****, Yarde couldn't lace Wilde's gloves.

Why do you keep going on about black boxers. Could you make it any more obvious you are black lol

Like I said, the black continent Africa is the weakest continent at boxing by far, 55 countries of terrible boxers . Almost all the best pro black boxers come from one country only, USA. It's not spread out at all.

Madrimov's opponents combined record in 11 fights: 259-40-2

Bud's first 11 opponents combined record: 64-122-4

Point being, this kid is being matched much more aggressively than most fighters in their first 11 fights. He beat the guy who gave J Rock his first loss, in his first pro fight. Madrimov is a highly skilled fighter with over 300 wins as an amateur who uses a fast aggressive style. Only other fighter I've seen who was matched that aggressively early on as a pro was Lomachenko (combined record of his first 11 opponents was 308-27-13)

I'll say it right now, this will be a tough fight for Bud, tougher than the Porter fight

Since Africa is weak, Go to any country in Africa and pick a random fight. Let me know how it pans out for you. All Brits do is go to pubs and drink beer. Wake up, don't brush or floss, have a pint of beer, eat some fried bread, baked beans, pork bacon, ****ers and eggs, or tea and scones, with black pudding, go to school, work or the gym. Have haggis for lunch, which is sheep's liver, heart, lungs, kidneys, tongue, suet (sheep fat) oatmeal, onions and ****es boiled inside a sheep's stomach, then go to the pubs and wash the haggis down with several pints of beer, smoke a few packs of cigs, sniff some bad blow, and eventually, go to bed. Repeat. This is why their teeth are so brown and their breath so putrid.

[Roadblock]

Crawford's too small/short for 154, he might get KO'ed. Bud should stay at 147 and whoop Boobs Ennis's booty.

He is the same height as Madrimov, standing side by side he ain't small at all.

[HisExcellency]

I seen him fight, flat head mofo. He's strong but he's stiff. He telegraphs his punches. He's not sneaky, clever, or unpredictable. U can't beat Bud with that style.
He fights like he's British -- all offense, defense wide open, slow, swings wide. The only diffrrence is British ppl have brown sh...ty teeth and horse breath

FACTS...Madrimov is a decent fighter but he was lucky he fought for a vacant title in a talentless division against a demotivated opponent who didn't even bother to turn up. Also, he telegraphs his punches and is too mechanical to beat a slick boxer-puncher like Crawford who will see the shots coming a mile off. In fact, I noticed that he has a very SIMILAR style to Spence i.e. walking down his opponent and peppering them with power shots and look how EASILY Bud dismantled him. Therefore, I don't rule out another one-sided beatdown and possible stoppage.

[HisExcellency]

None of them got their faces broken. How many Brits have had their faces broken? only Brendan Ingle taught more than an iota of defense. All the rest of Brits know is various ways to get their face smashed in. It's only a handful of Brits that ever been worth sh..t in the ring-- young griffo, jim driscoll, ted kid lewis, Ken Buchanan, Randolph Turpin, Herol Graham, Johnny Nelson, Prince Naseem, Nigel Benn, Joe Calzaghe, James DeGale, Lennox Lewis, David Haye, Kell Brook, A.J, Tyson Fury, Anthony Yarde. The rest are pure garbage

Sorry but you have to give Amir Khan a little bit of credit here...although he had a GLASS chin, the man was a warrior who fought the best competition available i.e. Garcia, Canelo + Crawford or chased after them hard e.g. Mayweather & Pacquiao. Also, despite his limitations, he was a 2x world champion and beat a number of tough fighter's including Maidana (who gave Mayweather his closest fight in years) plus several tough BLACK guys like Alexander, Judah & arguably Peterson who was later busted for PED's and won the fight via a controversial hometown SD despite being dropped twice (1 was incorrectly ruled a slip) and Khan being docked 2 points for pushing. In fact, both Lederman & Rafael scored the bout for Khan and the WBA later reinstated him as champion.

Therefore, he's definitely ONE of the greatest fighter's Britain's ever produced although clearly not the greatest.
