Boxing commentator Tim Bradley stated that Terence Crawford decisively defeated Israil Madrimov in their recent bout at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. However, despite Bradley’s confident assertion, many spectators had a differing view of the fight, with some even believing Madrimov had emerged as the victor or had a close win over Crawford.
Opinions from Bradley and Shawn Porter appeared to be biased as they presented a perspective contrary to that of the millions of fans who witnessed the match. Crawford seemed to struggle at times during the fight, facing significant blows from Madrimov especially in the later rounds. Despite Bradley’s claims of Crawford causing harm to Madrimov on multiple occasions, several viewers did not notice any clear instances of Madrimov being significantly affected.
In a post-fight interview, Bradley continued to commend Crawford’s performance, insisting he had dominated the fight. However, the general sentiment among boxing enthusiasts leaned towards Madrimov putting up a commendable fight and potentially even securing a win. Bradley’s close bond with Crawford could have influenced his perception of the match.
Ultimately, while Crawford was declared the victor by the judges, public opinion seemed to favor Madrimov as the deserving winner. Bradley’s exaggerated claims regarding Crawford’s dominance may not have aligned with the actual events that unfolded in the ring.
