Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov LIVE: Fight updates and results ...

Madrimov feels he won the fight and calls for a rematch. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, is incensed.

Hearn says the fight feels like a “waste of time”, because Madrimov “got no respect from the judges”.

“It wasn’t a 116-112 fight,” he says. I’d disagree. But either way, two of the judges had it closer, so.

Crawford: “Israil was a tough competitor. I knew he was gonna be tough, I knew all about him when I went to Uzbekistan.

“He’s really strong, he’s durable, he took a lot of good shots. He got me to round 12. He had fast feet, good rhythm upstairs, and he was strong. And he was waiting to counter me, just like I was trying to counter him.

“He wasn’t throwing wild shots like I was wanting him to do. I figured it out from the get-go, but I was being patient. I didn’t wanna rush in with anything; that’s how I got caught a couple of times, trying to eat too soon.

“You can feel the difference [in weight], because like I said, he’s a really strong opponent.”

On a rumoured fight with Canelo:

“If the money’s right, we got a fight, but at the same time, he’s got a fight that he’s focused on. I’m gonna relax, enjoy this win.

“Not at all [worried about the weight], because I’m pretty sure he could fight at 160lb.

“It’s not so important to me, it’s just another milestone to greatness, I suppose. And financially.”

Indy Sport has it 116-112 to Crawford; 115-113 would be fair, though.
