Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford and Israil Madrimov make weight

[CarlW]

bud is over rated, big baby miller is twice the fighter he is

Sorry, only 1.992 times the fighter.

I know what you mean! I watch replays on mute but, on fight night, I HAVE to turn it down when Chris Mannix starts telling us the guy getting his a** handed to him is winning lol damn network-paid official trying to taint my perspective!

I'm not overly impressed with Anderson either, but I really like that style on a HW, very mobile, throws in combinations, etc


EDIT
We'll see if it's enough come fight night, but as of now, the weight thing makes it harder not to lean towards Bakole

Well, I saw Bakole at the weigh-in last night and he's carrying a big 'ol gut, but he wouldn't let anyone see because he had this weird sternum-high wrap around his midsection the whole time. Not a good sign for his chances to keep up with a speedy and in-shape Anderson. We'll see.

JA was always going to be in better shape. But what's important is that Bakole is skinnier than he was against Takam. That 32lb difference between JA and Bakole will affect how this fight plays out. JA will obviously be quicker, but he's never faced this size difference before. TR never matched him against someone noticeably bigger than he is. He was faster than Martin, but he was still getting hit flush. JA is used to imposing himself on his opponent, but that might not be the right strategy in this fight.

Big guy yes
I’m banking on his big punch since Martin already had Jared on ***** street

lol yeah i did notice he was not quite twice the guy but didnt get it worked out like that

[BlackRobb]

I suspect Bakole's timing helps offset Anderson's speed. Those clubbing rights and lefts should get Anderson's respect early and/or possibly catch him in the mid-late rounds

THIS is one of the fights to watch out for. Close decision either way where the winner is in a wonderful position to challenge for a title next year

I don't think this fight does much for the winner. I just can't see the winner of this fight getting a title shot before Joseph Parker does.

Parker's going to get knocked off before he gets the chance. Especially, if Ruiz wins tonight

Usyk's hanging 'em up after Fury 2 or the fight after. Bakole's #1 with the WBA and Anderson is #4,5,6 with the others so the winner should get dibs on one of those bad boys when they free up

Of course, that's just how I see it playing out as of right now

Fat Andy got an early X-mas present tonight. Disgusting ROBBERY. Emporer Zhang crushes them both.

You wait all night to tell me this, you creeper? lol

Yeah, broken hand or not, Miller got robbed. Honestly, didn't see that coming
