Comments Thread For: Israil Madrimov chasing world titles, wants Terence Crawford again

I've seen your activity on this website. My casuals comment wasn't directed at you. If you found Madrimov VS Bud less than entertaining, you're entitled to that opinion. I didn't see this fight as boring, and I found both fighters' performances impressive. So in your case, we have a difference of opinions - and it's safe to say that I respectfully disagree with you.

I apologize for my rudeness .

I really like the Bohachuk / Madrimov matchup, because if anyone got robbed…it was Bohachuk.

He was very good and he's strong, but was too tentative against Crawford.

Newer fans are so obvious when they throw the word “casual “ around like it’s offensive

I don't know if he beats the rest of the JMW field, but nobody is getting past this guy easily.

Other than Crawford at 154 I think Madrimov is too crafty and strong, but that's just opinion until it's settled in the ring. To that point, even though Madrimov is not a house hold name, I'd pay to see him in a competitive fight with just about any top 5 JMW.

My biggest fear is not him losing but that nobody is going to willfully pick him as an opponent and the sanctioning bodies are worthless which means without Saudi money Madrimov will be frozen out or forced to move up to get a fight.

Same thoughts. I’m a fan and looking forward to many more Madrimov highlights.

I suppose I understand why some people hated that fight, but I was actually enthralled by Madrimov's strategy - because it was very effective, and especially since it was such a departure from his normal style. I can guarantee that every coach with a fighter anywhere in line to fight Crawford has studied that fight multiple times already.

I really enjoyed the fight TBH. Was a great high stakes chess match. Wish it was a 15 rounder.
