Terence Crawford Betting Analysis
Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) is no stranger to greatness. The 36-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska, has already claimed world titles in three weight classes, including becoming the undisputed king at both 140 and 147 pounds. Now, he’s looking to add a fourth division to his resume.

Crawford’s boxing skills are second to none. He’s a master switch-hitter with lightning-quick reflexes, unparalleled ring IQ, and devastating knockout power. “Bud” hasn’t gone the distance since 2016, stopping his last 11 opponents in spectacular fashion.
Despite moving up in weight, Crawford will enjoy a nearly six-inch reach advantage over Madrimov. Expect him to utilize his superior speed and counter-punching abilities to neutralize the Uzbek’s aggression and systematically break him down.
Israil Madrimov Betting Analysis
Israil Madrimov (10-0-1, 7 KOs) may not be a household name yet, but the 29-year-old from Uzbekistan has all the tools to become a future star. A decorated amateur with wins at the Asian Championships and Asian Games, ‘the Dream’ has been on the fast track since turning pro in 2018.

In March, Madrimov announced his arrival on the world stage by stopping the previously unbeaten Magomed Kurbanov in five brutal rounds to capture the WBA super welterweight title. He’s a pressure fighter with a powerful left hook and an aggressive, crowd-pleasing style.
To pull off the upset, Madrimov must hope that age and inactivity have slowed Crawford down. He’ll need to maintain a relentless pace, cut off the ring, and make the pound-for-pound star uncomfortable. It’s a tall task, but one that Madrimov seems eager to undertake.

Crawford vs Madrimov Prediction
Madrimov is an intriguing underdog with the skills and confidence to make this a competitive fight. However, it’s hard to bet against Terence Crawford at this stage of his career. The oddsmakers agree, listing Crawford as a hefty -700 favorite, with Madrimov coming back at +475.
Look for Crawford to start cautiously, using the first few rounds to gauge Madrimov’s speed and power. As the fight progresses, expect “Bud” to take over, using his superior boxing ability and ring generalship to pick the Uzbek apart.
Madrimov’s best chance is to make it an inside fight and hope to catch Crawford with something big. But as we’ve seen time and again, “Bud” is an elite finisher who knows how to close the show when he has his opponent hurt.
My official prediction is Terence Crawford by late-round stoppage, likely between rounds 8-11. The over/under of 10.5 rounds feels about right, but I lean slightly towards the under at -125.
Crawford vs Madrimov Pick:
- Terence Crawford by KO/TKO/DQ (-140 at DraftKings )
