Prediction: Terence Crawford on Points
Result: Terence Crawford by Points
Very difficult fight to score but a good entertaining technical scrap. Crawford gets the decision in a really tough fight that was better than most expected. Crawford and Madrimov started very slow and technical and it never picked up into a war but it was fun. Both guys were on that elite level and Madrimov damn near beat a pound for pound top 3 guy do fair play. Bud is just different and he showed it especially in that 12th round when he came out big to close it out. I don’t think Crawford should jump to 168 and this should show that.
