    How about Boots vs Madrimov.

    Madrimov’s stock went up massively after his performance vs Bud. Boots supposedly wants the Crawford fight. Both need a dance partner. Both are with Matchroom/DAZN. Why not?

      His matchmaking has been pretty safe thus far.

        Extremely. Two opponents ranked in the lower part of the top 10, 1 former titlist in a faded Lipinets above his best weight, and that's about it. 33 fights, 27 years old. Not quite Demetrius Andrade levels of soft opposition but worse than most "champions" by a longshot.

            Villa was a solid win, just came off upset vs Speedy. He does need better comp at this point. The Norman match was perfect. Shame it’s not happening.

              Not sure how a Madrimov fight gets him closer to fighting Bud but I like it. Definitely wouldn't be an easy fight. Madrimov would have a good shot in that one so long as he doesn't spend tons of rounds feinting instead of letting his hands go.

                Great fight.

                If he really wanted to put pressure on Crawford, he should do that.

                    I say why not? Boots matches up physically better against Madrimov than Terence Crawford did.

                    I mean he’s a much younger, wider, taller, bigger and stronger punching version of Bud Crawford. It will be a good, fun, crowd-pleasing fight!

                    I would expect Israil to come out of his shell against Ennis. Making him even more prone, susceptible and vulnerable to Jaron’s punching power.

                    I believe it would come down to the fighter who has the better chin.
