Scored it 8-4...Crawford last night. After rewatching realized I was wrong.

I'm bias for giving my opinion on what I saw......but you aren't bias by claiming a bunch of black/hispanic fighters have padded records? Take your goofy opinion to someone who actually believes that bullsh**.

I'm interested in knowing exactly who you think is not "cherry picking" for their career to be elevated.

 

Yea, the confidence level of winning the fight got lower and lower as we got closer to fight night. He went from talking about being too strong and telling Crawford "this is my division" to indirectly sending a message to whoever would be the judges on making sure they are fair on the scorecards if he is able to keep Crawford from stopping him within the 12 rounds.

A lot of fighters have used the tactic of pushing a "conspiracy" notion before the fight so that when they have an excuse for losing, the fans will back them with it.

-Spence (or rather Derrick James) tried to use the surgery & drained excuse
-Benavidez tried to use the bum leg excuse
-Now we see Madrimov camp putting "the judges are unfair" because they lack confidence that they would stop the smaller guy. This gives them validation for pushing the notion that they were robbed when in fact, he literally did more feints than combinations in the fight.

 

It's pretty obvious that most people pushing that Madrimov possibly won or at least earned a draw, have never seen Madrimov fight before. This fight, we didn't see Madrimov attempt to go after Crawford. He simply played the role of keep Crawford from opening up. When he finally started to engage with Crawford after the 7th.....we saw him get hurt at least 4 different times.

I think it's funny that the same fans praising Madrimov for him being "patient" and only using feints to keep himself from being countered and stopped by Crawford, are the same fans who ridicule guys like Shakur Stevenson for using his feet and defense to get out of range from his opponents for the same reason.
