I'll put it like this, if Bud wasn't my favorite fighter, I'd be picking Madrimov. I've long said that I got Bud against anyone he decides to get in the ring with, so I gotta ride with my guy. HOWEVER, when I found out he was fighting Madrimov, I was like noooooo lol.
I was 10000% sure Crawford would beat Spence. I'm not so sure he beats Madrimov. This is the stiffest test of his career BY FAR. Madrimov is the real deal. Really creative punch selection and most importantly, he's one of those fighters who finds a way to win just like Bud and any other great fighter. This is a real fight.
