Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford

[robelneo]

Crawford has much more experience, better score, more to lose. Madrimov is still a newcomer when it comes to pro fights.
IMO Crawford is going to be very well prepared and harder to counter since he's a southpaw and you don't get a lot of good sparing opponents who excel in this stance, so Madrimov is going to have much less experience in fighting southpaws than Crawford vs orthodox fighters.

Whatever Madrimov does in the ring Crawford is ready for that, you're not an elite if you do not have multiple plans or the ability to shift in the fight, after the Spence fight I consider Crawford a flawless fighter, can you imagine a fighter who was considered his co-equal getting knockdown by his jab.

Madrimov is not better than Spence so we can conclude that it will be a much easier fight for Crawford, Crawford needs to fight level-A fighters now after the Spence fight fighting other unknown names is not attractive anymore, so I expect him to fight any of the Charlo or Canelo, so let's see.

Charlo will be a big fight for Crawford, I mean he has been taunting them in the crowds during his win against Spence. And now that Spence is out of Derrick James maybe we can also see him moving up at 154 lbs and fight the Charlo as well. So there is a big changes in the landscape at super welterweight now as we can see previous friends fighting for the belt as well. So we will see. As far as this fight, yes, he will go against Madrimov, try to test his power and do some feint to test how he will move. But after that, Crawford will go in his beast mode and I wouldn't be surprised to see a knockout win by him again against a tough Madrimov by the middle or late rounds.

I am excited in this fight. We will see how WBA champion Madrimov fares against one of the best in the sport right now. Crawford is once again trying to add more in his legacy by becoming a 4 division champion if he wins here.

We'll see what's next for Crawford after this. At the moment, both Spence and Jermell have no belts and won't add anything on Crawford's legacy except money. The winner of Madrimov and Crawford will also get the WBO interim which can be turned into a mandatory to WBO and WBC champion Sebastian Fundora. Also, Turki Al-Sheikh of Saudi already hinted of wanting to make Crawford vs Canelo by December or January next year in the US.
