    That power ain't no joke, as said, especially for his size. Haney weighs more than him. Let that sink in. Madrimov, who says he could easily make 147, would be at 147 if he was from North America. Imagine what a wrecking machine he would be at that weight against opponents his own size? It would be GGG at 160 all over again

    Don't be naive! That fight won't happen, they won't risk Crawford's legacy.It's more likely Fundora will replace "injured" Crowford

    I mean, the Saudi King is said to be fronting insane money for Crawford vs. Ennis, conditioned upon them first not slipping on banana peels and successfully beating Madrimov and Crowley respectively. However deep Bud's concern for his legacy, it can't outweigh that oil moolah.

    i see madrimov having a bit slower hand speed. he will need his timing to be perfect to make an impact in this fight.
    his power is enough (if he can land it) to keep bud at bay a little.

    Maybe cause it does seem to good to be true. Considering Madrimov is in his prime and just came off a career best destructive performance, and Crawford is moving up in weight.

    Maybe Crawford and his team are underestimating him or don't know much about him, or possibly they have sparred before or something. Strange they are so quick to take the risk.

    I honestly don't know who to pick. Much respect to crawford for taking this fight because madrimov is not that well known but extremely good.

    Madrimov is too easy to hit. Crawford going to beat him up.

    Quite possibly the outcome but Madrimov is highly skilled, he will win some rounds and make it competitive.

    I think this card means we’re getting Errol Spence vs Sebastian Fondura in the fall..

    I think Madrimov will be a problem for the first 6 rounds, after that Bud will stop him

    it might be Buds toughest fight yet

    I'm curious to see how Crawford's chin is. It seems a little shaky at times and the age and layoff might make him rusty.

    I think Bud figures him out and stops him. He's done that to basically everyone he's faced so far. I'll be shocked if this goes any differently.

    That is what peaks my curiosity about this fight,,Bud's age and fighting at 154. Some times those factors can outweigh Bud's obviously superior abilities.

    I think Crawford is off his game and struggles some but still wins a UD. This will be his Mayweather/Maidana I type fight.
