This Madrimov guy is Muslim? But his first name is Israil?

In Saudi Arabia the name or word "Israel" is deleted and censored in every printed material imaginable. Don't know if it's still the same nowadays.

It's possible that could silence the anti Eddie Hearn now.

The shoulder roll was half-baked. It almost cost him the victory. It just confused the hell out of his trainer. Didn't work....

If he doesn't need a tuneup, then go for the other belts....

Either you take semi-established guys like Martin, Ortiz, Ramirez levels, or take total bums to guarantee a win. That's pretty much the choice. Or go straight to Lopez, Matias, Pitbull, which to me makes more sense. Getting beat by another top guy is not so much of a big deal than getting beat by a...

That's the spirit. Anybody can lose. You not only go after the pay day, but the glory of beating the top guy. Unlike some Charlo whose only reason for taking the fight is the retirement cheque. Or some Frank Martin turning down a fight because the retirement cheque is not enough. The chance of beating...

Don't know about athletic, athleticism, what have you, and what it got to do with boxing performance. But I think it's what you are fed consistently with in terms of opponents. Teo Lopez, for example, didn't do well with Nakatani, Jamaine Ortiz, Martin, Kambosos, but you could tell he'll always be ready...

I'm trying to remember a fight where I was so disgusted with this ref. His posture said it all, always aiming to interfere at the slightest hold, never allowed anything that resembled an inside fight. Haven't really examined his recent ones and the one last night. But you could tell he's always looking...

Ducking low to avoid punches, instead of maintaining a high guard and some movement, is a bad habit. A capable opponent could time it and get a perfect blow. It's what happened to Saunders in the Canelo fight. It was like a huge collision between two moving objects.

Retirement is not far off. I don't know how he can get back from this other than carefully pick opponents. Just imagine him against more proven guys like Matias or Lopez. Would he even take a non-prime Richard Commey for a stay-busy fight? That's even more devastating if he looked crap let alone lose....

Haney wouldn't have gone this far had he taken fights like the authentic guys Like Lopez, Loma did. Haney skipped Commey, Nakatani, Pedraza, Beltran, etc.
