Eddie Hearn is adamant that Israil Madrimov, the underdog, will defeat Terence Crawford in their main event on August 3rd at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, California, which is broadcast on ESPN+ PPV next month.
Hearn’s prediction of Israil Madrimov winning is understandable given that Crawford has bulked up for the fight and is anticipated to be slower and easier to hit. Crawford is not young, has never fought at 154, and is facing a puncher with a kind of power he has never experienced.
