Yeah agree sean i think the result was spot on but nothing between them for sure.
I had it very close till last couple rounds where i gave to crawford but you could have argued upto then crawford hadnt done enough to take a title and draw would have maybe been fair as i like to see winners taking title not doing enough to nick it.

Yeah think you're right i think Crawford didnt do enough throughout the fight but then Madrimov werent on the offence enough either , i think it was a close call , would of been happy had it gone the other way , or as you say a draw.

Yeah i always think if your the champ then the other fighter has to come and 'take' your title .. but think those days are long gone lol

Yeah i knew before even punch thrown he would need win easy or stop crawford with judges two usa but he also new that so was all about money for taking fight as he likely got more than he ever would usually.

And as i thought (and posted) the hype train around Anderson was seriously derailed on Saturday night .. I'll give him his due he showed he had heart but no way was he as good as people were hyping him up to be

Saturday 10th August - Vergil Ortiz Jr v Serhii Bohachuk

Really looking forward to this one , should be an explosive encounter .. Ukranian Bohachuk (25 Fights - 24 Wins (23 KOs) - 1 Loss) comes into this after beating the durable Brian Mendoza by unanimous decision for the WBC Interim World Super Welterweight Title , that was a solid performance and win .. hes only lost the one fight to date and that was against the decent Brandon Adams back in 2021 , whilst Ortiz Jr (21 Fights - 21 Wins (21 KOs)) has stopped his last two opponents in the first round since going up in weight , and as is evident by his record has stopped every opponent hes ever faced ! So from my perspective this has all the earmarks of a proper banger .. Bohachuk for me is the better boxer and is more versatile whereas Ortiz Jr is better on the outside and throws every punch with intent, When you look at the combined record of the two it reads 46 fights - 45 wins with 44 stoppages so its entirely possible that this one is gonna end before the final bell but i think it could well go to a decision as Bohachuk is probably the best / toughest opponent Ortiz Jr has faced and Ortiz Jr is the hardest hitting and most aggressive that Bohachuk has ever faced. Bohachuk has a reach and height advantage and i think hes gonna need it along with boxing clever , but i do see Ortiz Jr eventually wearing him down and catching him. Its a tough one to call as i really like both boxers but im gonna side with Ortiz Jr.

Saturday 10th August - Luis Alberto Lopez v Angelo Leo

Decent fight in prospect here , Luis Lopez (32 Fights - 30 Wins (17 KOs) - 2 Losses) should be a name familiar to British boxing fans as he beat Josh Warrington (in Leeds) to take his IBF Featherweight title and then in his first defence stopped Irishman Michael Conlan in the fifth round in Belfast , since then he has defended his title twice , winning both times. Angelo Leo (25 Fights - 24 Wins (11 KOs) - 1 Loss) currently holds the WBA Continental (North America) Featherweight title , he stopped Mike Plania in the third round in his penultimate fight and defended his title successfully when beating Eduardi Baez last time by unanimous decision. The only loss on his record came to Stephen Fulton , no shame in that , when he lost his WBO Junior Featherweight title back in 2021. Neither boxer are renowned for their power but Lopez has stopped five of his last seven opponents giving him a 56.7% KO rate whilst Leo has stopped two of his last three , so theres a possibility of them not seeing the final bell. Both seem to have decent chins and both dont mind letting their hands go and trading so it should be an entertaining fight , i think they're pretty evenly matched skillwise tbh but i think Lopez' aggressive and awkward style will see him come out on top.

Friday 30th August - Dina Thorslund v Terumi Nuki

Im a big fan of the unbeaten Danish fighter Dina Thorslund (22 Fights - 22 Wins (9 KOs)) and i have been reading that its been announced that this could well be her last fight which is a shame as far as im concerned , her opponent Japanese fighter Terumi Nuki (20 Fights - 15 Wins (10 KOs) - 5 Losses) hopes to relinquish Thorslund of her WBC and WBO World Bantamweight titles but i think Thorslund is gonna prove to be too good for the challenger here. Looking through her resume Nuki hasnt faced anyone of Thorslunds calibre as yet and i think shes gonna fall short in this bout , thats not saying she wont give it a good go of course but i feel the Dane will prove to be technically superior and will outbox her , plus if this is gonna be her last fight then i cant see her wanting to go out on a loss so i feel she'll be well up for this one and that she'll retire (if the rumours are true) undefeated.
