…but Spence’s team only wanted it at 154

Unfortunate


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.

>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.
