I did not see it as a close fight. Crawford won by a landslide in my opinion. Madrimov was allowed to move forward but nothing else. He was not effective, so Crawford never kicked into high gear. He was no slouch and made it difficult to steamroll. He had great muscle memory but that back fired against him since he didn’t do anything new from start to finish. While Crawford didn’t look spectacular, he fought a brilliant defensive fight. I know that never wins fans but he made few mistakes and outboxed a boxer.
Only think he can hope for was a draw. Madrimov was the aggressor all night and bud spend all of the fight on back foot. Bud mostly landed jabs, while Madrimov landed power shots. How can you win by spending all fight on back foot.Comment

Madrimov seemed really nervous in the 1st few rounds. He was breathing really heavy in the corner and was anxious. Like he said Bud is his fav fighter so just being in the ring with him probably was a surreal moment for him, by the time Madrimov got into somewhat of a groove it was almost too little too late. When he hit Bud with that clean flush hard right at the end of the 4th round and Bud didn't even flinch I said to myself Bud got him. Difference was Madrimov didn't weaken as much as Bud's opps usually do despite how his face looked and Bud got a lil too overzealous at times but all in all at no point was I really worried about Bud losing.
It was close but Bud was in control majority of the fight. I was more on the side of the 116-112 score. I could probably count the amount of clean rights Madrimov landed on 1 hand the rest were blocked or partially blocked while Madrimov was absorbing a steady diet of jabs to the face, body shots and combinations.Last edited by Realizniguhnit; 08-04-2024, 02:43 AM.Comment

Lol madrimov didn't lose, he was the aggressor and the one who landed all the power shots. He was snapping bud's head backwards. While bud could only land jabs.Comment

Some of you guys really see what you want, including some of tonight's commentators and author of this article. Bud clearly won a close and competitive fight. And while they both landed big shots, Bud landed the bigger shots. I guess because Bud didn't look as dominant against Madrimov as he did against others, folks are imagining that he got touched up badly. This was a fight! Bud fought an opponent who came to win, and it showed. But let's not be mistaken, Bud won this fight...and he took the last two rounds.Comment
