[Boxing]: Info and Prediction Thread

I'm thinking the opposite for now, it could be under 8.5 rounds for Crawford. Bud is too experienced here and in the face off I see Bud being the bigger guy and I was surprised to see that.

So again my initial analysis says that I might go with Bud under 8.5 to score a stoppage or even by a knockout.

In any case, good luck to all bettors and hopefully it's going to be a great fight here.

No, the line is over/under 10.5 and they are very attractive already, at 1.86/1.84 currently at Stake. Crawford by a knockout is 1.69, still good odds but you have to throw a lot of money.

And obviously, Madrimov is a big underdog at 5:1 here. Very hard to bet on that one as we know that Crawford is one of the most skilled boxers that we have right now, he reads his opponent and can adjust during the fight itself. He can even shift to south paw if he wanted and then there's no difference in his power.

Then i'm going to go with you mate but i would pick the under 9.50 @2.02. I agree that Terrence Crawford is too experienced and very tough for Madrimov that he could not last the full twelve rounds. Never mind my previous speculation that this will end up in a decision hehe.

[Kemarit]

It is interesting to note that in the Crawford vs Madrimov undercard, Morrell, is moving up to 175 lbs and facesRadivoje Kalajdzic. He is another name that we would thought that Canelo might as he is a interim Super Middleweight champion and instead Canelo is going to face Edgar Berlanga, the number 1 rank fighter in WBA. That's why WBA should already strip of Canelo as he refuses to fight the interim champion. At least facing him, we will know who will be single champion. And so in this case, the same with Canelo's WBC belt wherein the interim is David Benavidez. So if there is no Canelo fight for either of this two, it might be good to see them fight at LHW, although there could be options them for sure to go down to 168 lbs if Canelo is willing to fight them.

Terrence Crawford won via unanimous decision against a very tough opponent in Madrimov. Lost my bet as i'm betting that this fight would not go over 10.5 rounds but the style of Madrimov doesn't fit well on the counter punching style of Crawford and also the move in weight was one of the factors why Crawford struggled.

Yeah, just part of the game against mate, I also lost my bet though and I thought that Crawford will take out Madrimov early. But he was very tough and although in the championship rounds I though that Madrimov will go down, he didn't and was able to hold.

I was watching some live updates and they think that Crawford lost the fight. So for now, I would say that Crawford should stay away from Canelo at 168 lbs. There's no way that he can beat a version of Canelo with this kind of performance at 154 lbs.

For the sake of money, he might do it, but I would agree with you that he should not go up anymore because I also find him struggling in this one as well.

The fact that there are some people saying that he could've lost that fight is a sign that he's having a hard time on that division. Well, it's his first time to fight at that division and he had a hard time against him. It would be better for him to maybe stay at that division and dominate it as well. Let's forget about him fighting Canelo because even Canelo himself said that he has no interest in fighting him.

Yes, for the right amount of money, I think he might go up to 168 lbs to fight Canelo, but during his post fight interview, it was a different tune, he didn't directly answer that question but says "we will see". So for me it tells that Crawford is not ready and I think the Saudi's knows that.

You have a point, this is his first time at 154 lbs, he says that it's no different at 147 lbs but we have seen that he had a difficult fight here and he admitted that Israil Madrimov is very durable and he was not able to adjust because of the feint and they Madrimov although this is his 11 fights, have a good fight plan and it almost work. But in the end, I think Crawford edges him 8-4 rounds at least.

he wouldn't get another belt if he stays in his division. the risk was worth while i think since he earned it but this time defending it might get him much trouble if there are bigger guys coming after the title while he looks terrible in this weight class.

or was it really his age that he looks like he is in decline. its smart for a boxer to retire if they feel like they might not be as good as they once were. buy the money to earn is too lucrative. but is crawford interested to fight canelo?

It is Terrence Crawford who has been calling out Canelo Alvarez to fight him as far as i remember but it is Canelo that is hesitant to fight for the reason that i don't know.

Maybe father time has already caught up Terrence Crawford as 37 years old in boxing is old and i think he should forgot the Canelo fight and focus on this 154-lbs division for now.

Yeah, it is Crawford that is calling Canelo Alvarez and it's obvious that he is going after the big money fight as Canelo is still the cash cow in boxing. And this is what Canelo says about it,

“So, he’s got that in the back of his head. ‘This guy [Crawford talking in the third person], for one, he’s tough. For two, he’s a boxer. He moves, he can punch, he can do it all. I can’t slip up and lose to this little guy. Then what will my fans think of me? What will my Mexican fans think of me?'” said Crawford about Canelo.

So physically he knows that Crawford is small and we can argue that he fought Charlo who is also a career 154 lbs. But if we look at the argument of Canelo, yeah, Charlo is built bigger, has good bone density and compare to Crawford who struggled fighting at 154 lbs.

Hahaha, now Canelo is worried about on what the fans have to say if he fight Crawford while he ignores the call of the fans for him to fight David Benavidez and instead fight this less popular and inexperienced Edgar Berlanga. Crawford is after the money and he could get what he want if he fight Vergil Ortiz who defeated Serhii Bohachuk in a majority decision despite suffering two knockdowns.

I think it is strange that Canelo is avoiding fights with top contenders like Morrell and Benavidez. Instead he is choosing to fight others like Berlanga. This makes me wonder if Canelo really wants to be best champion.

If he keeps avoiding top fighters WBA and WBC should take away his titles. It would be great to see Morrell and Benavidez fight each other or move up to new weight class which could lead to some exciting matches. Fans want to see best fighters compete against each other and it is disappointing that Canelo is not doing that.

Those sanctioning bodies are on Canelo's side because whether we like it or not, Canelo still a cash cow on their eyes lol. Saudi Arabia's boxing power broker Turki Alalshikh is offering Canelo to fight Crawford which for me an easy task for him to accomplish since the latter is already 36 years old and have a smaller frame compared to him. Not a fight fans wanted but at least we could see what Crawford could offer in  front of Canelo.

No Turki Alalshikh doesn't want to set up the fight between Canelo and Crawford. He already said it in a tweet,



https://x.com/Turki_alalshikh/status/1820700851528196362

And now there are a on-going social media fued between Turki and Canelo. Alvarez said if this fight is going to happen, he wanted it on his own terms. Damn, Canelo has the balls to say this to the power broker. So I guess he will be "black listed" by Turki or not be in Riyadh card just like Tank Davis.

You can see what Turki said here and he is telling what it is as what we see,
