    I honestly think it was a very close fight down to judges interpretation.Personally I had it 115-113 to Bud but Madrimov gave him issues.

    Madrimov is being given way too much credit for being awkward and not much else.

    The score cards were way too close.

    He made a good point though, the champion was Madrimov. I had Madrimov winning but its a tough fight to score.

    Bud fought 80% of this fight going backwards, there’s clearly a reason for that being Madrimov as strong as it gets. That’s only 7lb’s away from where Bud stopped every single opponent at 147. Now Canelo on the other hand, possibly the best chin in all boxing won’t be phased by Bud and he will probably be around 185 on fight night. Bud will be on the back foot all night again, but this time it will be someone who will smash his body to shreds and not just keep aiming straight rights to the head. If you want to see Crawford get retired in brutal fashion then yea champion the fight

    So ........ Madrimov lost to a blown up lightweight and he was fighting at a lower weight than he was as an amateur

    You would get an F-150 in there the amount of shite that came out of Porter tonight needed a massive exit hole

    Average is an unfair assessment but he looked very human. I thought Crawford looked larger too honestly, if not equal in size

    That scenario is still a way off for Crawford as of now.
    But he's not gonna do great at this weight. And even the weight and opponent aside, I think he's sliding a bit.
