I was really disappointed in Madrimov fighting like that though. I'm a huge fan and love his aggression. He was in there feinting and fidgeting forever without mounting any attack. That's not the Madrimov I fell in love with nor the one I paid to see. Bud handled it well though.

I really wanna see the Canelo fight. People are claiming this fight proved he's not ready for Canelo, but I completely disagree. Canelo doesn't fight like Madrimov fought here. Bud's power had Madrimov clinching repeatedly by the end of round 11, so he still has power. Idk if he has enough for Canelo, but I'd love to see. I could also go for him fighting Fundora and Murtazaliev for undisputed at 154 though. Turki Alalshikh said he's made Canelo an offer to fight Crawford and has Vergil Ortiz as a backup in case Canelo doesn't accept the offer, so Idk if Crawford will be around for 3 more fights to go undisputed. Ortiz has turned the Crawford fight down a couple of time already at 147 btw.
