Two-division undisputed champion Terence “Bud” Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) dethroned WBA super welterweight champion Israil “The Dream” Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs) via twelve round unanimous decision on Saturday night at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Close, gritty match with Crawford coming on late to win 116-112, 115-113, 115-113. Crawford also picked up the WBO interim belt.
The fight ended Crawford’s 11 straight KO streak. Promoter Turki Alalshikh stated he has an offer in for Crawford to face Canelo early next year.
and Crawford says he’s the “best fighter in the world right now”?
HE SUCKS!!! he’s just another arrogant n3gro.
Canelo murders him in 3 rounds.
Pan pease keep your racist and negative thoughts between you and your family this platform is about boxing if you believe that you can do better Pan, next year you should be fighting for the title at 154 and win by KO, if not, just continue to be a fan of the sport.
#stopbeingavibekiller#
Shiiit…. The way that n3gro fought, even I can beat him. I might not be able to KO him but I sure can slap him around.
I’m sorry Pan sounds like you’ve been slapped around a lot in life and now looking for a place to express your feeling’s, try taking these feelings to Dr. Phil heard he has a good platform to work out such feelings till then this is boxing, stop killing the vibe, have a good day behind your keyboard.
You cant even beat your meat you impotent scumbag.
your mom does that for me. she love it.
PAN hate is consuming you!!
I think it showed he didn’t carry his power to 154 and he was hit a lot more often flush. He won for sure but I think this proves that fighters should be more active once a year and he shouldn’t go near 168.
I prefer my Mexican fighters whom are not double undisputed but throw putasos
Crawford like shakur (who was in the seats ) love to get booed by the crowd
Too much drama for nothing this fight sucked
I hope Crawford enjoy the gift and stay away from canelo
Canelo would disassemble in 3 rounds
Crawford received a tough welcome to 154, and I had concerns about him going to 154. Crawford should have put in more body shots.
If Crawford stays at 154, he may physically settle more at the weight. Crawford should stay away from Canelo, but I am quite sure he will take that risk for the money.
Because of his extremely natural size at 154 (probably a 168 person), Ortiz’s size will give major fits to Crawford (at 154). Crawford should avoid Ortiz.
If Crawford does not get Canelo, then he should retire for his subsequent entry in the HOF.
Ortiz fought in the Amateurs at 135. He isn’t that much bigger than Crawford. Madrimov fought at 160 plus in the Amateurs. Awkward style. Those eastern euro fighters are hard guys to beat. I thought Crawford looked good. Better opponent than Canelo fighting no hopers like Charlo and Belanga
Ortiz like everybody else was a kid and yes fought at 132 when he was like 16 or 17 but fought at 141lbs before he turned pro
I said Crawford was overrated before, I say he’s overrated now. Canelo knocks this guy into the bleachers. That’s not favoritism, just facts.
Your understanding of ‘fact’ is laughable.
Cmon guys the guy has moved up several weight classes and won stop calling him overrated. You keep saying canelo will win like Canelo isn’t the wayyy bigger fighter as it is
Inoue also moved up multiple weight divisions and dominated in every match, but you all still call him overrated. I like Crawford but he is not the superman a lot of people make him out to be.
I haven’t seen anyone saying Inoue is overrated. It seems most the hate is around Canelo on this thread.
I’ve been a Canelo hater in the past, because he seemed to just cherry pick. I called for him to pick a Division and clean it out and he almost did that completely at 168. While I really wanted him to fight Benevidez I accept that he’s probably just too big. Canelo dared to be great fighting Bivol and he was just too big and while Benevidez was still making weight at 168, we all know he was weighing about 190 on fight night. I’m not thrilled with him fighting the smaller Charlo, but it was an Undisputed vs Undisputed match, so it wasn’t as bad as some want to make it. Munguia was a decent opponent, but Berlanga is truly trash. As for Crawford…if that guy thinks he can beat Canelo, then I’m tuning in, because he feeds on doubters.
As for anyone doubting Crawford’s greatness:
Ring Magazine Champion at 135
Undisputed at 140
Undisputed at 147
And now a paper title at 154 and willing to fight the boss at 168!
i think you make alot of valid points but his resume isnt what people think and the one fight that made him truly great was against an opponent who was severely weight drained and for his legacy if Spence doesnt become champion again then all really Crawford did was expose him so really who in his prime did Crawford beat? every big name on his resume has some kind of well he was past his prime or smaller or a wanna be or contreversy because the dad threw in the towel or a damaged one eyed dehydrated fighter not one being a a prime fighter in a 50/50 mega fight this is exactly why the 4 kings will always be rated higher in history
Bullshit
If you go back and really research you’ll find that Crawford was an underdog in several fights. A lot of people thought Gamboa would expose him, many thought Spence would be too big and strong just to name a couple. I do think it’s a testament to greatness if your victims come back and win, but there is another argument to be made..”they were never the same after getting beat by Crawford. ” Crawford beats the competitiveness out of his opponents.
Here’s a question: were there any opponents left behind that you really felt TC ducked? The only guy I would have liked to see that seems unlikely to happen now is Boots Ennis. It seems he’s now looking to cash out in a Mega Fight with Canelo, but I believe he’s not just collecting a check, he thinks he can win.
154 wasn’t a paper champion.
I agree with you sir hes a great fighter but needs to seek out his own journey i think last night either Bud aged a bit or was exposed either way he should leave the Canelo fight as a dream fight and try to unify the 154lb division then seek out the weakest 160lb champion steal a win then retire
Great win for Bud against a tough opponent.
Wow! Crawford fights maybe once a year and just beat a guy with 10 fights, but people hate on Canelo. WTF!? What a freakin joke! The bias towards boxers with a certain conplexion is unreal Crawford is very good but NOT the best pfp.
Please get over your insecurities.

The guy he beat was extremely fast and talented. Plus he would immediately grab Crawford when he was hurt. Crawford did well in winning.
The whole Sheik show and his “awards” was repulsive. We watch for the boxing, not the music or first time ever awards to the promoters. Why don’t we just sell him the Statue of Liberty and be done with it.
Father Time factors into Crawford’s 154# debut . The body at Crawford’s age cycles at the high and lows completely different then it did six months or a year ago. Crawford will have to search out a competent physical specialist to graph out his peaks and lows. The fight with Canelo should still be in Crawford’s future plans but to be razor sharp will require another quick tuneup fight and then a special training camp to follow.
This was a hard and close fight
Crawford finally faced a first rate boxer last night, and look at the result. I thought he lost the fight 7/5.
Crawford better think twice about Canelo. Canelo will destroy him. This fight should be a wakeup call for Bud.
I’ve always thought Crawford was overrated. He just doesn’t look like anything special to me. He’s undefeated because he has one of the worst resumes of almost anyone ever considered P4P best. The only time I’ve been impressed with him was against Spence, and I question if Spence was as good as people thought at the time. He should take the Canelo fight and make some good money before he retires.
Wow!! percent agree. His resume is not that great. Maybe only 4 boxers in his resume that will make it to the hall of fame.
Wow!! percent agree. His resume is not that great. Maybe only 4 boxers in his resume that will make it to the hall of fame and one is Amir Kahn who is overrated.
If Terrence Crawford wants that big Canelo payday he should take on Caleb Plant at 168lbs and the winner gets the big payday?
