    It's pro wrestling in 2024. That's a given not a spolier.

    Throwing punches is irrelevant, its landing punches that matters

    I think 115-113 is about right but I gave it the other way to Bud .Madrimov gave him serious issues though.

    Madrimov was given the benefit in the early rounds he wasn’t connecting with as many shots as they were scoring iam sure of that at least in first 5

    He's no Canelo but this was a big step up in weight and opponent quality. And Bud found himself in a grueling tough fight against a game competitor, but in the end he passed the test and really impressed throughout.

    Give the Paul Levesque Era a chance, it's vastly improved over the last 2 years.

    Usyk is #1. Crawford has more guys in the media hyping him, Ward, porter, Berto, dirrell.

    I’ll give you the finished stronger. That’s one thing that always dissappoints me about european fighters in these bigger fights. I don’t think either one really outlanded the other one. I had it close Madrimov and even in the 12th Bud started strong but Madrimov got him to slow down.

    I usually do re-watch if it's been a long night.

    Mad is so underrated by many people, he's strong, faster and moves a lot. Fact is Bivol used him as his main sparring partner for Nelo, and we all saw how that ended

    But it is fair to say that I was wrong here I thought it was going to be an easy ride for Crawford and it definitely wasn’t that so, but it was pretty clear that he was the winner, now respect that man

    Daddy Kostya won’t let his son take the fight as Bud would literally murder him.

    In what way? Bring back the 5v5 raw Main events. They were awesome.
