That fight is off the table sorry Bud "nut huggers"! Turki knows what's up now with Crawfish, his best days behind him and everyone was jockin him off beating a shot Spence!
If Turki knows sht about boxing, he will understand putting up money for Bud to fight Canelo is like flushing it down the toilet. Hopefully most can see after last night that Bud virtually has no chance to beat Canelo especially at 168. I like when he said Vergil Ortiz as a fallback, that will be a more competitive fight. Madrimov was able to touch Crawford a lot with that right hand and I reckon Canelo will be able to do same as well and his punches will carry more damage. Turki needs to go ahead and put that money up for Canelo v Benavidez and Crawford v Vergil Ortiz
Madrimov knows best. Bud sounded like he already has seconds thoughts about canelo. 'If the moneys right' lol boy dont want that smoke just the bag that comes with it. Turki better withdraw that offer.
based on the fight, would like to see Bud versus the best of the 154lbers. I think he matches up nicely and that was a nice showing last night against a very solid Champion.
The articles with the Canelo prompts are annoying there’s obviously an agenda ugh. Forget Canelo and unify 154. The media is force feeding this Canelo thing because their bosses are telling them what to ask and what to write.Not criticizing just saying how it is. Bud should settle in at 154 first, face Charlo then think about Canelo
I wouldn’t put much stock in what Madrimov says. Here’s a guy who spent weeks before the fight boasting that Crawford couldn’t take his power ….then spent the last day before the fight worrying that the judges wouldn’t give him a decision …then spent the actual entire fight boxing like he was afraid of getting countered (because he found out pretty quickly Crawford STILL had some power and was lumping him up around the eyes)….then complained after the fight that he should have won because he went the distance. I doubt we’ll hear much more about Madrimov going forward and it won’t be a great loss.
The Crawford-Canelo fight will still happen because Canelo-Berlanga will be a massive flop inside and outside the ring: Berlanga will start hugging and holding once he gets hit, Canelo will gas out after 5 rounds and it will be another boring, lopsided win over an opponent who is just thankful to go the 12 rounds and get his paycheck. After that fight bombs, nobody other than Canelo’s slavish fanboys and media sycophants will have any appetite for any more of Canelo’s ego-tripping cherry picks - and since Canelo won’t take the big money to fight Benavidez, he’ll have no choice but to take Turki’s offer to fight Crawford.
When that fight does happen, I fully expect a sharper Crawford - the ring rust totally gone - to box Canelo’s
ears off.
