Terence “Bud” Crawford is widely considered to be among the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world and he’ll look to add another feather to his cap when he takes on Israil Madrimov for the WBA super-welterweight championship on Saturday at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. Madrimov won the belt in March with a fifth-round TKO of Magomed Kurbanov after the title had been vacated by Jermell Charlo. Now he’ll make his first title defense against Crawford, who has already been a champion in three other weight classes during his 40-0 career.

Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov preview

It’s been over a year since we last saw Crawford in action during a dominant performance against Errol Spence Jr. for the unified welterweight championship. He won that fight with a ninth-round TKO and was ahead on all three scorecards 79-70 when that fight was stopped after out-landing Spence 185-96 and beating him 98-63 in power punches.

It was the 11th fight in a row that Crawford won via stoppage and his 14th victory by KO, TKO, or retirement in his last 15 bouts. Viktor Postol was the last fight to go the distance with Crawford back in 2016, which also happened to be his first time headlining a major pay-per-view card. He’s now 40-0 with 31 knockouts in his illustrious career.

Meanwhile, Madrimov was an amateur champion, with the Uzbek winning gold medals at the 2017 Asian Championships and the 2018 Asian Games as well as a silver at the 2011 Junior World Championships. He turned professional in 2018 and has gone 10-0-1 with seven knockouts since, winning his first world title over Kurbanov in March. Now he’ll have his first title defense against the man that the BWAA lists as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. See who to back here.
