is this 10 fight 40 yr old guy any good?

They have this new thing called “Youtube”. You can use their search bar and see old fights. Its wonderful.

Egidijus Kavaliauskas "Mean Machine" gave Terrance Crawford a lot of problems. Madrimov is better in every way then Kavaliauskas and he's a bigger puncher and much stronger. Similar to Lomachanko, Madrimov has three hundred amateur fights, he's not some novice, you either beat him or he beats you down. If Terrance Crawford shows any signs of being 36 he's going to get knocked down and if he can't get Kavaliauskas's respect he's gets knocked out, simple as that.

So you're saying this is a fight that it'd be smart to throw some money on the underdog as he is VERY LIVE! Bud had proven himself over and over though, I don't see him losing but hey that's why they gotta fight and figure it out right? Bud UD 12

No shame lol. I've been lurking for years. Had to make my first post a good one.

Huge Bud fan but every fight is dangerous. If Bud shows up it should be just another day at the office but anything can happen.

Crawford vs Madrimov is a fun fight! I rate Madrimov pretty highly!

If Crawford can stop Madrimov that is a big statement.

I wonder if the Saudis will have enough money to make Canelo fight Crawford.

Inoue/Crawford/Usyk all have the right to claim that they're the Pound 4 Pound King imo.

He's good enough so that every belt holder talks unification and still even even mention his name. Madrimov is a high risk for everyone and even if you beat him he'll do a lot of damage.

Madrimov reminds me of Canelo at 154. Hes big and thick. He also knows his sheeit. Hes no joke. Im very impressed with Bud choosing the best 154 pound champ.
This fight is no walk in the park. I see a ruff fight for Bud. I think its an even fight. I just hope that Bud doesn't do what he did with Spence, which is stay on the inside. Thats Madrimovs ONLY chance of winning. If Bud boxed him like say Haney normally does. That would be an easy win for Bud. But its just not in Bud to do that. Hes a dog through in through. Dangerous fight for Bud.

Did you see the Soro fights? He didn't look impressive vs B or C level competition.

You make it sound simple because you don't know who he is and that's great and I'm a fan.... but I'm also realest. Crawford is 36 and he's fighting a 160+ lbs weight bully with power, skills with a billion amateur fights against talent. Opponents that Eddie Hearn thought were so good that he signed them too.
