    How good is Madrimov?

    And does he have much of a chance against Crawfish?

    He's pretty good now that he stopped with the excessive movement. Crawford's IQ is off the charts though so it won't matter.

      Even with Madrimovs size advantage?

        Pretty Good that it might possibly go to the distance, uses slick footwork and angles, has good power though he is not as powerful as Crawford was at 147, and he also mostly throw long range punch combinations like Bivol does either when exiting in or out.

        The only thing I say he shouldn't do against Crawford is not to try throwing the wide looping punches he often uses. He also doesn't have nowhere near the same experience as Bud as a pro. Though Madrimov is at least in his physical prime now compared to the declining veteran who is moving upm

          So far so good, even with the two fights with Soro ending in controversy he is maybe the first fighter to convincingly prove he is better than him. Soro would have a very good chance against Fundora or Tszyu. In his last fight for the vacant WBA he beat Kurbanov very easily by stoppage with intelligent pressure and well placed punches.

          I don't know where he is at level wise from who he has fought to the elite level but Crawford will be moving up to 154 for the first time against a younger bigger fighter who should be applying the pressure.

            I don't think there will be much of a size difference.

              I feel he's good enough to beat a live underdog against Crawford when you take in all the considerable natural advantages he has over Crawford.

                Crawford is 5'8" with a 74" reach.
                Madrimov is 5'8.5" with a 68.5" reach.

                Crawford will have a considerable reach advantage.

                  Good fighter but I expect him to be a pretty easy puzzle for Crawford to figure out. It’s just a case of levels really. I can’t see anyone except father time giving Crawford problems at 154 tbh.

                    Pretty danm good. Nobody at 147 can challenge Crawford and he's moving up to fight a tough unknown fighter. Worst part about it is if Crawford were to lose all the dumbasses on here would call him a hypejob for losing to an unknown and claim booty ennis would of killed him too
