2808679, Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov 8-3-24 HUGE fight card!

At the top of the card is the p4p #1 Terence "Bud" Crawford.
On the heels of slaughtering Errol Spence, and after a year off, he's moving up to 154 to challenge the reigning WBA champion, Israil Madrimov.
Madrimov only has 11 pro fights, but has a VERY extensive amateur background to the tune of 300 fights. He has incredible foot movement, is a natural athlete, and punches so hard that he's called the super welterweight GGG. Most boxers start their pro careers fighting 4 round fights, then 6, then 8, then 10. Madrimov started at 10 rounds, so his pro record is very deceptive.
Personally, he's been my favorite 154 lb fighter for a few years. Bud is my favorite fighter overall.
Madrimov has many tools to trouble Crawford. He covers a lot of ground when he leaps in, and that's the main way I've seen Crawford get caught with punches whether it was Horn, Lundy, or Porter. He also has a wrestling and gymnastics background. The wrestling background and core strength are usually Crawford's advantages. I wonder if he'll have that here. The question to be answer for Madrimov is his ring IQ. I haven't seen him have to use it very much, given his physical gifts. Will Bud challenge him? I think we all expect him to.


This card also features:
Isaac Cruz vs Jose Valenzuela
Andy Ruiz vs Jarrell Miller
Jared Anderson vs Martin Bakole
the AMAZING Andy Cruz vs Antonio Moran
David Morrell vs Radivoje Kalajdzic

Every single one of these fights is pure excitement waiting to happen. If you want to see some great boxing, this is a card worth the purchase. TRUST ME.
