Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford

[inthelongrun]

Now that Deontay Wilder lost against Zhang, he is not fighting in this card against hot undefeated prospect Jared Anderson. There were earlier rumors that Zhang is the one that will replace but Martin Bakole is offically the guy that will fight Anderson. This is another great showdown, between two heavyweight prospects and there's a lot of opportunity for the winner.

As for Vergil Ortiz, it seems like he is out of the card. Maybe they're having a hard time finding for Tszyu's replacement. Earlier, Ryan Garcia volunteered and Ortiz was happy to face him. But maybe it was only a bluff by Ryan Garcia to tell his huge fanbase that he is not scared to fight anybody at any weight.

But in any case, Ryan Garcia has a pending case because of his supposedly used of Ostarine, so I doubt that he can just get a fight right now until the decision is handled to him (most likely suspension, for how long, we don't know as of this time).

Odds for this fight though hasn't move a bit, Madrimov is still a huge underdog at 5:1. I think the odds is about right, although he had a good record, but I don't see him getting a upset here against Crawford. And we might see Terence becoming a world champion again, this time at 154 lbs.

I share the same sentiment. Crawford is just too flashy and dominant, and I can only see him controlling the fight. If Terence becomes a champion in this division, he might aim to unify the titles again. Hopefully, if Spence also becomes a champion, they can have a rematch here. I'm sure promoters would be eager to stage another fight between them, as they already have a rivalry that can easily attract fans. We might even call it "unfinished business," even though Crawford clearly dominated Spence in their previous bout. But in a new division, we might see a different result.

Crawford has proven a lot already and deserved to be the favorite. But maybe 5:1 is just too high, probably because of the money flowing from Crawford and since Madrimov is not that popular. But I am expecting a good fight somehow. This is a good fight for Crawford, a chance to become a 4 division world champion.

Error Spence is rumored to fight WBC/WBO champion Sebastian Fundora. It's easier to make since both are under the PBC umbrella. But upon the withdrawal of Tszyu against Ortiz, he might activate his rematch clause with Fundora. I think Tim will knockout Fundora this time and take back his belt and the WBC.

Possible, that could be his next aim, and make another record if he can unify at 154 lbs as he had done it at 140 lbs and 147 lbs. So in this era, he could be one of the best fighter that we have seen, he has cemented his legacy with that big win against Spence.

But if he really want to put all arguments are rest, yeah, unifying again will be great for him. It could be very challenging though as there are a lot of good boxers in this division with his arch nemesis, Errol Spence, and then Tim Tzsyu and Fundora.

He already beat Spence, so he has a higher chance of beating him again.

The thing is, if Spence beats Fundora, that would be like beating Tszyu as well. Among the champions, Spence would then be ranked number one. For now, we just need to see if Spence can become a champion again, so they can prepare for a possible rematch in a unification match. This would still be a big fight, as it's a championship fight like the last time they met.

If Terrence is going to do that he should do that in a short period as time is not on his side anymore he is already 36 years old he cannot do what he has done in the past fighting only once a year he should stop fighting low level or tune fight and go straight fighting titlist so he can accomplish his goal to become one of the all-time great.

I'm sure he is looking for a Canelo fight, I hope Canelo also has Crawford in his mind, it's hard for these two greats to not face in the ring because they have a claim for the greatest boxer of this era.
Crawford never declined any challenge, we can't say the same with Canelo who is just cherry-picking his opponents before heading for retirement.

How I wish Canelo would just accept Saudi's offer to fight Crawford. It's not necessary to happen in Saudi anyways if Canelo does not want to go to the desert. Because Alalshikh and his team are willing to host even outside of their country and this card where Crawford is headlining is their first and there's more to come for sure. But Canelo already said, no amount of money can move his decisions. I don't know why Canelo does not want this, he already ducked Benavidez but somehow he does not want to hear people saying he beat a blown up welterweight. I honestly see the Mexican superstar stopping Crawford and I hate it to be honest but a part of me wanted to see this fight happening.

That pride of Canelo though, it was already in his favor since he is the heavier fighter, so I don't see any reason why he would not accept that offer. Maybe he really sees Crawford as a tough opponent and anticipates he might struggle in the fight. Canelo has been winning easy fights, but with easier opponents as well. I think it's time for him to take a risk again and fight a quality boxer, a champion boxer like Crawford.

I haven't read how much the offer was, but I'm sure it was a huge amount of money since that promoter usually pays good money, as we can see from the heavyweight fights.
