Crawford And Hearn Spar On Social Media For Madrimov Fight

[ad_1]

Terence Crawford and promoter Eddie Hearn exchanged messages on social media today, discussing Crawford’s victory over Israel Madrimov last weekend.

Hearn let Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) know how surprised he was that former WBA junior middleweight champion Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) was able to easily beat him with his right hands throughout the night. in their big game at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

Eddie’s Wrong, However

Eddie doesn’t lie. Madrimov was hitting Crawford at will with his right. Crawford’s victory was badly marred because the fans generally viewed it as a loss.

Hearn wasn’t the only one to notice that Madrimov was easily tagging Crawford with straight right hands. Honorable Turki Alalshikh canceled his plans to put together a fight between Crawford and Canelo Alvarez after this performance by the Nebraska native. Turki saw what everyone else did.

Crawford can’t beat Canelo looking like that and he could be kicked out of the ring if he fights the Mexican star.

Crawford, 36, won the fight by a twelve-round unanimous decision, but it wasn’t an impressive or decisive victory. Many fans favored Madrimov, and those who felt Crawford won agreed that he looked weak. He had lost a step and had no strength at 154 that he had at 147, 140, or 135.

Terence Crawford: “What’s up, Eddie?

Eddie Hearn: “He was just amazed at the way Madrimov hit you with his right hand all night. In only his 11th fight.”

Hear you just grilled Crawford with that comment, and you’re right. Madrimov literally couldn’t miss Crawford with his right hand. Crawford, 36, looked bewildered by Madrimov’s hands and was always wide open with rights. Crawford finally met his match after 16 years in the game.

“I think he’s going to be looking at big names and big fights,” Eddie Hearn told the media about whether Terence Crawford would opt for a rematch with Israel Madrimov to end the feud.

“Madrimov’s history has gone to another level, and I think he can be in 154 big fights. A child [Madrimov] he had ten battles. I think he is a special fighter.
