Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov: Prediction
While he’s a huge admirer of the reigning WBA King, Tony Bellew expects Crawford to prevail once again.
He told DAZN: “I’d find it hard to back against Madrimov against most opponents, but Crawford is something special.
“You’re looking at one of the best fighters of his generation, and he’s not showing any signs of slowing down.
“Madrimov is an excellent fighter with many great qualities, and you’ve heard Eddie [Hearn] talk about how good he is.
“He might have some good moments in the fight, but Crawford is on another level to most fighters, and I think he’ll win again.”
As for an official Bloody Knockout prediction, we’re expecting the American to download the data and pick his opponent apart en route to claiming a stoppage.
