Martin Bakole does Jared Anderson in
All the credit to the world for Israil Madrimov. He took Terence Crawford to unfamiliar places and lost a decision by a razor thin margin. Is Terence Crawford getting old? He is 36 after all. That said, he still looked fantastic. There's very few fighters as gifted as Terence Crawford.
Isaac Cruz is one of my favorite fighters. But he was thoroughly outclassed by Jesus Valenzuela. All night, Isaac Cruz could not get going and it was Jesus Valenzuela that took the lead, jabbing and moving, and fighting the overall perfect gameplan for a fighter like Isaac Cruz.
Andy Ruiz and Jarrell Miller fought to a draw. But it's very apparent that with his two years off of boxing, Andy Ruiz doesn't like boxing, he just likes being famous at this point in his career.
Jarrell Miller was arguably robbed of a fantastic win over Andy Ruiz and Ruiz showed that he was not in shape. Martin Bakole defeated Jared Anderson in a career best win. Now the massive Martin Bakole has mega fights on the horizon. Zheli Zhang, anyone?
