Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford tops Israil Madrimov to become four-division champ

You will never hear the word Madrimov ever again unless you're in Wal-Mart looking to purchase a new vacuum cleaner.

And why exactly is that? He gave Crawford all that he could handle plus more. The judges had to bail Bud out of this one,so that the Saudis can stage their nonsense canelo fight. Madrimov knows how well he did,and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Madrimov did better than many expected.

Congratulations to Crawford!And can we please drop the Canelo nonsense ?

I never understood why people entertained Crawford and Canelo boxing each other. The size difference was always too much.

Since this was the biggest boxing card ever in the US according to Hearn then I'm going to guess the gate will be about 80 million. The total gross will be about 140 million with 5.6 million PPV buys. We should know in about 10 days because Eric Gomez told us that's how long it takes to tally everything up. Hey wait a doggone minute......where are the Devin vs Ryan PPV #s at Eric. It's been 4 months now and not a peep. FUQ YOU ERIC.......FUQ UUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

Boxing is all about matchups. Madrimov was super awkward and made the fight really difficult. Bud wants to catch and counter, couldn’t do that tonight but still got the win. It’s wild people saying “oh well he can’t move up”. This was for a belt. He won in the championship rounds. A good matchup should be close.

Hey it was good to see Oscar and his bottom hoe Holly tonight but someone please tell her to slow down on the botox. Bytch starting to look like a feral cat!

Madrimov thought all that Fury dancing around would win the fight

Madrimov should've thrown more. He clearly had the more impactful punches due to his size

key takeaways

Bud struggles with awkward & unorthodox
154 is it, no more Canelo talk
Madrimov was better than given credit for

Every great fighter has struggled with awkward and unorthodox (Floyd Vs Maidana 1)

Bud clearly won. Jesus. Madrimov doesn't get point for feints and that was most of his offense. If wasn't a bad gameplan because he had obviously watched Bud and knew that to not get knocked out, he had to keep Bud from getting into a rhythym. He acheived that but he never hurt Bud and Bud outlanded and outboxed him regardless. And I said before the fight, Madrimov is a damn good fighter with an extensive amateur career, his pro record is deceiving. And Crawford was out of the ring for a year due to the Spence nonsense, he wasn't as sharp as he could have been.

Of course Bud's detractors will use this as fuel. But Bud will look better against Canelo than he did tonight. Canelo has one mode, and Bud has height and reach on him and will outbox him if the fight is made.
