Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov Prediction: Uzbek fighter has to show everything

Prediction for the match which will take place on August 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The 36-year-old American Terence Crawford is a former lightweight champion (up to 61.2kg) and also an absolute champion in the welterweight division (up to 63.5kg). Last July, he simply declassified Errol Spence, became the overall champion by winning all four welterweight titles (to 66.7kg) and dispelled the myth that he always picks weak opposition.

Despite his status as the best boxer of our time and Crawford's incredible skills in the ring, the Uzbek boxer still does not consider him impenetrable and is absolutely confident of his success.

Uzbek boxer Israil Madrimov, 29, won the world title only in March this year in his eleventh fight in the professional ring. He is currently ranked third in The Ring's middleweight rankings right now.

As for the experts, they also evaluate Israil's capabilities and prospects very highly.

Madrimov won the belt in a fight with Russian Magomed Kurbanov, whom he simply ran over and finished the fight in the fifth round.

Israil Madrimov is an excellent presser, pressurising his opponent mentally and physically, this has brought him success so far, but Crawford is not the man to be crushed. His level has always allowed him to knock opponents off their plans and make mistakes. Has he aged? Has he lost his reflexes and conditioning? Ask Errol Spence, who was finished by him not too long ago.

The new weight class won't be an obstacle for Terence either. He will calmly work the first half of the fight as a number two, it is at this time Israil needs to show everything that he knows how to demolish the famous opponent. And if he fails to take him down, then towards the end of the fight, problems will start to arise, speed will drop and mistakes will appear on the background of fatigue.
