Our boxing betting picks believe Terence Crawford is a deserving heavy favorite vs. Israil Madrimov and will wear his opponent down sooner or later.
Terence Crawford aims to become a four-division champion against the undefeated Israil Madrimov when the two face off this Saturday in the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Boxing odds have Crawford as a -750 favorite and Madrimov as a +475 underdog. Here are my best free Crawford vs. Madrimov predictions for August 3.If it were up to Terence Crawford, he’d be hitting the weights right now in an attempt to bulk up to 168 pounds for a dream match with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez.
From a skill perspective, he doesn’t have much to fear from Madrimov. The Uzbek amateur standout has rapidly worked his way up the ranks and won a vacant title in his last fight against Magomed Kurbanov. He’s fighting the appropriate level of opposition at this stage of his career, but that means he’s taking a huge step up in class against a master strategist like Crawford.
Crawford at welterweight was essentially the perfect mix of power, speed, strength, and skill, so it will be interesting to see what the move up in weight will mean for him in this later stage of his career. I don’t believe there is anyone I’d comfortably favor to trouble Crawford at 154 or 160 pounds.
