Eddie Hearn...Eddie Hearn...where have I heard that name? Oh, yeah! Isn't he the promoter who had all 5 of his boxers have their asses handed to them quite recently in Saudi Arabia? He's not exactly a soothsayer of boxing, ...except in his own mind, maybe.

How dare you question Eddies tactical and strategic brilliance. Matchroom lost those battles in order to win the war !! It was a " rope a dope" to get Frank to double up and go 10 vs 10. That's when Matchroom will spring the trap. Or something like that. Haha.

It is true that you sometimes can go a division too high, might not be a problem for crawford but it's what makes this interesting to me at least, he's not fighting a mug either.

I'm expecting a good fight either way.

"he's not fighting a mug" I'm stealing that one

Hearn was acting like Crawford had already beaten Madramov and tried sign Crawford to his next fight.

Thankfully Eddie stopped acting like a self serving douche-bag and got back to promoting Madramov.

yeah, its really terrible when promoters risk losses by putting their guys in competitive fights against rival promotions.

I really hate it when that happens. In-house mismatch tune-ups are SOOOOOOOO much better!!!


you clowns are too much................

TC will still be good with his steps at 154; Madrimov on the other hand, he might be seen overstepping and running into big shots.

But mostly, I think TC will take advantage of the fact that Madrimov prefers space to punch, he likes to push off a lot, both hands; rarely warned for it so it;s a habit from waht I've seen.. I think TC will be sneaking in big shots while Mad has his arms extended, and those can have extra effect. I think body shots start to keel Mad over. Not saying it will be easy ; I like Madrimov so far , but I've always thought the pushing/falling off balance(and thus lack of defense in those split moments) will be an issue against top fighters.

Bud will win. I say that because he beat Errol and scared Charlo away from the game, at the same time. Charlo hasn't been seen or heard from since Errol got his mouthpiece tightened up. Bud is the only dude I saw knock 2 dudes out, by only fighting one of them. Lion's Only doe... meeeeooowwwww

Some are going farther saying TC can beat Canelo. Not likely but let's see how he does at 154.

The Dream likes a fast pace with flash and daring. There’s some recklessness in his style, for example those Street Fighter II hooks. He may leap into the path of a timed Bud bomb, and regret it.

Before that happens, Madrimov’s going to be throwing a lot and landing a few. A few at 154 starts getting costly quickly for a 37 year-old former lightweight. The sooner Bud finds an edge, the better—and the longer we fans can keep enjoying these last days of his artistry.

Bud might as well try. Unbeaten records are useless. Being unbeaten won't make people go "wow" Beating Nel o and being 5 or even 6 division champ will.
