Are we seriously putting Madrimov on a pedestal now? Is Alvarez best suited mimicking the guy who Ortiz beat up badly in his very next fight? The Crawford delusions know no bounds.

Stephen Breadman is like many of us a hugh fan of boxing and pretty much a historian of the sport but no great decorated trainer to say the least, in fact all the big fights he's worked the corner of the loser, Fact!

I'm just saying

Agreed, I've heard him dispense these types of non-sensical mental abstarctions to fighters in between rounds. Just a total disaster.

This guy’s talking like Canelo is the underdog. Haha And the two biggest fights Alvarez lost, which Breadman points to like they mean something, happened 1. where Canelo was a kid against one of the greatest P4P fighters in history, and 2. against a guy much bigger than himself. Funnily enough, Crawford is the naturally smaller man in this contest. I think he’s gonna get a taste of what Alvarez got versus Bivol.

I’ve always loved boxing — I love sports in general — but the so-called professionals in boxing pale in comparison to those in other sports. Greater than half the time I feel like they don’t know what they’re talking about. I don’t feel nearly that way with other sports professionals. Maybe because fighting is so unpredictable by nature, but I feel that the predictions of most boxers, trainers, etc. seem especially unreliable.

Did Breadman give a prediction? Or is he hiding until the end of the fight?

Dan Rafael got Bud winning.

Who did Teddy Atlas and Max Kellerman pick to win?

I think Kellerman is neutral but Atlas has been doing his best Atlas impression in favor of Crawford, meaning I think he is picking Crawford. I often can’t understand what Teddy is trying to articulate.

he thinks bud will do it, either by UD or possibly even by late body shot stoppage when canelo gasses

imagine if he did call that last one correctly wow we shall see

Breadman is as good a predictor as any - he has made some strong calls in the past. I agree with ex fighters though - it would almost be better to bet the opposite of what they say,
