Seriously, Madrimov beat Crawford...and he's beating Bohachuk

nah

 

Yeah many rounds were close with not a lot of punches landed but he was landing with big clean eye catching shots throughout.

 

Agree on the first part, I had it Madrimov 115-113. But I disagree on the second part, I think Bohachuk is going to stop him. He has the style that's always given Israil the most problems, but power wise and output wise happens to be levels above everyone else he's fought with a similar style..

 

Madrimov won but I'm honest enough to admit that had he just fought at least one legit prime top 10 opponent before, especially in a 12 rounder, instead of a bunch of scrubs and a few fringe world level guys at best, he would've won a lot more decisively, if not knocked Crawford's ass smooth out and left him dribbling spittle all over the canvas like a 170lb giant baba eyes in separate orbit

The fact Madrimov WAS the champion

He gave Crawford a shot at HIS world title

And as with EVERY damn foreign world champion Crawford has fought sans Burns which is the ONLY time Crawford has travelled outside the protective sanctuary of his homeland in 41 fights which absolutely HAS to be held against him in P4P discussions, brought HIS world title to Crawford's country

And even worse, as is almost the norm over there, fought him on a stacked deck of a HOME REF and THREE HOME JUDGES which literally NEVER happens in any other country in the world for world title fights between a home and away fighter

Should've bare minimum resulted in Crawford giving him a rematch instead of Crawford scurrying away into the shadows like a hyena with its pound of carrion

That would've been the honourable, manly and right thing to do
