    There was very little video footage of both Madrimov and Rico, they used that to their advantage and gave very tough fights for the P4P Kings.

    Madrimov lost a close decision but did better than Canelo against Bud. Rico was stopped but did better than Dubois Fury and AJ.

    Whose performance shocked/impressed you more?

    Rico, because Madrimov has been training in boxing for longer than Rico and he's more skilled

    Rico. Madrimov had hundreds of amateur fights. He didn’t have a ton of pro fights, but he’d been boxing competitively for a long time.

    Both madrimov and canelo did the same. Both content with losing. Instead of trying to win they just didn't wanna get blown away but we're perfectly fine losing.

    Canelo hasn’t been put on his ass ever in his long career. He’s been hurt exactly once, and that was barely hurt, which he got over in about 2 seconds. In what world was Canelo afraid of getting KOd against Crawford? He may have the best p4p chin in all of boxing. I love the thing he does where he gets nailed with a perfect power shot that would have hurt or downed someone else, and he just shakes his head “nope”. He didn’t look great against Bud but at no point did he look remotely hurt or in danger. Just frustrated.
