Not sure how people had Madrimov winning

[RetroSpeed05]

I had Madrimov winning. My score card was 7-5 Madrimov but i have no problem with with 7-5 Crawford but i think a draw or Madrimov win would have been the right decision.

Porter said it during the fight: because when someone you're not familiar with does better than you thought they were going to, you have a tendency to give them more credit than they deserve. People give them rounds when they didn't actually win them, they just fought more competitively than they were expected to.

It's the same reason some people still think Derevyanchenko beat Golovkin (for the record, that was a super easy fight to score; 6 rounds to 6 with a knockdown, 114-113 GGG).

porter was delusional saying "crawford had madrimov figured out" and giving him 6 rounds in a row, he clearly wanted to hype crawford up for being black and for being a guy who beat him. if crawford "figured out" madrimov he wouldnt be eating right hands all night. he would have figured out to move his head out the path of the right hand.

Everyone was saying this fight was a mismatch LOL. “Hes going to get kO’d in the first 3 rounds”.
The guy had 300-400 amateur fights, which means nothing to casuals.
He only had 10 Professional fights and Bud had his hands full with this NOBODY LOL. Forget Canelo. Fight Boots.

heavy underdogs overperforming always result in people thinking they scored more points than they did

Floyd-Maidana was even wider yet u still have dumbos today who can’t figure out who won

[Gladiator18]

It’s the same old thing that happens every time, if the underdog does better than expected then people him extra points.

People can never score a fight neutral. Bud won

How many people had Madrimov winning? Was there really a lot of people? Like enough to ask about it? From what I saw, most people thought Crawford won a close fight. Some had it a draw.

The only ridiculous poster was Burner who had Crawford winning 120-108.

I expected T-Bud to figure this guy out after 8 rounds at the latest as the fight progressed

it took T-Bud 10 rounds

awful style for T-Bud an awkward broken rhythm that doesn’t overcommit and lands str8 shots

I’m convinced Floyd 10-2 the best T-Bud

Israil would have won if he had more jab than just a stab downstairs

A fair amount of people had madrimov 7-5 or a 6-6 fight at the very least. He deserves a rematch,but there's a lot of money trying to push for the nonsensical canelo fight.

Madrimov gave a good account of himself tonight though. I won't pretend that didn't happen. Very controlled performance and I hope he gets active from here on out.

I had Madrimov winning by a round but he was simply never getting decision.

It was all geared up for Crawford. Turki is putting money behind him and already planning the fights before this one started, so Madrimov had no chance on the cards. Two judges only gave it to Crawford by one round and if you take into consideration this show was all about Crawford and they could still only give it by a round, it's probably a good indication he didn't really win.
