Crawfish got EXPOSED tonight by a guy with 10 pro fights! Turki is surely rethinking moving ahead with bud after the place was booing and completely turned off by his lack of effort. Not to mention bud has zero personality, forget Canelo, no one believes he would have any shot after tonight say "bye-bye" to that payday....

Turki needs to rethink trying to be a matchmaker and promoter and just bankroll the largest fights rather than every fight. Just make the superfights happen.

Turki is just trying to fast track what the fans want.

Without him, boxing returns to the stalemate it was for years

Yeah because Canelo only has fights where the outcome is in doubt. Like with Avni Yildirim, Josesito Lopez, Amir Khan, Rocky Fielding, Jermell Charlo, you know like little guys a few weight divisions below. But no not a 4 weight world champ.

1. The commentators were HORRID. Several dead horses are obliterated.
2. What Bud did in the last round is what he could have been doing at least to a degree for many rounds. His "patience" resulted in that super low action fight. Could a "hometown scorecard" be involved? I see people are already talking about that. Bud was supposed to win and I imagine I could see a judge To be afraid that he or she is missing something and therefore give closed rounds to Bud to avoid embarrassment.
3. Madrimov has some fantastic skills. Perhaps the fact that he is the bigger man played a bit of a role in that bud may have felt a bit more pop and therefore was a bit more reserved, but his head and body movement make him quite difficult to contend with
4. Ruiz should have learned after too many of these examples that He could have been so much more If he just would have went on a diet. He won, but that was not a great performance. Miller handled it like a baby.
5. Bakol comes from crazy angles. His shots looked so incredibly thunderous. Anderson was doing his best impersonation of Joe Joyce and truly needs to learn some lateral movement. Bakol Is a scary guy, but I think we wait to jump on that bandwagon.

EXPOSED!!?? Bud has ko'd his last eleven opponents, is considered the number one pound for pound by many, and you said he was exposed because he didn't get a knockout? Madrimov may only have 10 pro fights but he had 350 amateur fights which is way more than most pro fighters. I think the Canelo fight is still in play because Canelo does not have the movement like Madimov. Bud is almost at the end of his career and is chasing a career ending payday, not to prove who's best at 154. Canelo fought Charlo who came from 154, so if he chooses not to fight Bud, it's a duck just like he's ducking Benavides and Morrell and how Bud is ducking Boots.

Madrimov won that WIDE, boxed Crawford’s ears off and landed the more meaningful punches round by round. Once again, F^^^ boxing.

Inoue blasts everyone they put in front of him. Crawford was fortunate the fix was in. I’m just saying.
