I'm not a Crawford fan but the guy moved up from 135 and stopped everyone he faced at 147 lbs, including 3 fighters that had never been stopped before.

Really? These two posts tell me you're not interested in boxing; you're just bored and talking about random shit.
Meh.
I think you made that statement about the 4th or 5th round when nothing was happening, Crawford hadn't done anything at that point to say he was winning the fight. At that point in the fight, all that was said was that Madrimov was landing at a higher percentage, that's it. In fact, if I remember right, the only one who was talking about who was winning at that time was Porter.
Nah, he was never hurt, sometimes when you're out of position you hold to stop the momentum of your opponent.
Nothing was happening? You must have watched a different fight then.....I don't know what you're talking about. Those announcers were praising him through the fight, however I didn't hear the last few rounds because I turned down the sound about the ninth or tenth round. Up until that point it was all Madrimov for them except for Porter and at one point they were even putting Porter on the spot. They asked Porter "what do you think Madrimov is lacking then?" and Porter replied "a jab". They were almost mocking Porter.
Agree about Madrimov, disagree about Crawford. Crawford is 36 and when you get around that age you never can tell what fight is going to make you look old. Tough fight for Crawford but he showed what he was made of by really fighting hard those last two rounds.
We'll have to disagree then because I remember very little action in the 1st 4 or 5 rounds.
I didn't say Crawford didn't land any punches, I said Madrimov was never really hurt.See face.
See Madrimov's face.
See Madrimov on the right.
See Madrimov's bruises.
I'll just repeat my former comment:
They weren't just praising him; they were saying that Madrimov was winning the fight straight-away when he wasn't. They were relaying to the viewing audience incorrect information. So if lying is praise then whatever.
He was hurt enough to have a bruised up face. & he was hurt to enough to continually hug Crawford when Crawford was letting him know who he was.
As I said before sometimes fighters hold to stop momentum, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're hurt. I also think we're talking about two different types of hurt. You seem to be saying if you're bruised, or have a bloody nose, or a busted lip, you're hurt. I'm talking about when someone is staggered. Both fighters took some good shots in that fight, neither man was noticeable hurt.
116-112 115-113 115-113 Close fight. When Shawn Porter had the fight 8-1 was he lying or was he scoring the fight the way he saw it?
You make no sense. I was referring the non-Shawn Porter announcers. Read my repeated comment again. What are you not understanding?
Allow me to hit you in the face so you can look Madrimov then. Also, you never mentioned what I said about Madrimov hugging Crawford constantly and that's a sign that a fighter is hurt.
Again you're talking about a different type of hurt. It could also mean fatigue, there are other reasons fighters hold besides being hurt
Go to YouTube and watch a random fight, I guarantee you'll see holding when no one is hurt.
Again, drop your address so I can hit you in the face so you can acquire bruises to the face like Madrimov so you can see how it doesn't hurt.
I understand exactly what you're saying, but you don't seem to understand the point I'm making. You're saying the other announcers are lying when they say Madrimov was ahead, not calling the fight as they see it but lying. That's why I asked when Porter had Crawford running away with the fight was he lying or calling the fight as he saw it?
