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

[boxing IQ]

Outlanded and outboxed him? Crawford was eating right hands that whole night,and never figured madrimov out. Landed 22% to madrimovs 31%. Oh and fun fact,madrimov landed at a higher percent than Crawford in 11 out of the 12 rounds of the fight. Canelo splatters Crawford inside of 6 rounds. Crawford needs to run this back,because in no world was this a clear win for him.

Don't believe any single number on the screen except what round it is

Crawford landed more and cleaner with counters and combinations. Madrimov spent all his offense staying mobile, pot shotting, and catching Bud with the occasional counter

I can't disagree about the Canelo part

116-112 Crawford. No way Madrimov won this fight. I understand Eddie Hearn trying to make it sound extremely close because Madrimov is his fighter. But what about DAZN commentary? They were biased from the start of the fight. Next time I'll just mute it and watch.

1-Crawford 2-Madrimov 3-Crawford 4-Madrimov 5-Madrimov 6-Crawford 7-Crawford 8-Madrimov 9-Madrimov 10-Crawford 11-Crawford 12-Crawford Bud is too small for 168.

10 was for madrimov in my card.

Overall card was great, em concert kinda ******, the raffle was funny turki also handed out tickets to SA at the end lol that was lil weird. Madrimov was the pleasant surprise tonite not bad for a guy with 11 fights now. Bud would look even slower and not that agile at 168, Canelo would smother and beat that boy up. Fish too big to fry. Case dismissed.

The right guy still won. It was competitive. I had it 7-5 for bud.

7 to 5 or 8 to 4 for Crawford is a fair score. The fight was competitive until Bud stepped on the gas in the last 3 rounds and started fighting Madrimov instead of just boxing him. Kind of like the Porter fight - close until a sense of urgency kicked in and then Bud stepped it up.

Hearn complaining about scorecards was funnier than that shirt his wife picked out lol

madrimov was eating body shots all night and got uppercutted multiple times. The last 2 rounds was his moment to shine and take it to crawford, and he failed.

Did you actually watch the fight? Crawford landed 25 body shots across 12 rounds,which literally 2 per round. Madrimov did take it to Crawford the last 2 rounds,and both were exchanging shots in the last round. Crawford started hot in the 12th,but got clipped more than once,and was the one backpedaling and running out the clock at the end. Any particular reason you don't want to see Crawford run it back,despite having had the hardest and closest fight of his career?

If I knew this fight was going the distance, I'd have actually scored each round

Crawford is not going to run it back. He wants to be undisputed at 154 and also get the Canelo payday before he retires. It is all about legacy and money. Madrimov is in the rear view mirror and does not factor in his future.

My guy, Madrimov had to hold on at times when Bud caught him flush in those last rounds, which were literally the easiest rounds to score

To your point, Madrimov was hurt but he hid it well and still gave Bud his hardest fight
