Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov odds, prediction, time: Boxing picks, best bets by expert on 55-13 run

Israel Madrimov may not be a well-known name in boxing yet, but after a stellar amateur career and a 10-0-1 start as a professional, he will take on one of the biggest names in the sport on Saturday and get a chance to become a superstar. Terence “Bud” Crawford is currently the BWAA’s top pound-for-pound boxer and a three-division world champion will challenge for Madrimov’s WBA super-welterweight title on Saturday at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles. A win would make him just the 24th four-division champion in men’s boxing history and further cement his legacy as one of the best fighters of his generation.

Crawford is the -750 favorite (risk $750 and win $100), while Madrimov is +550 (risk $100 and win $550) in the latest odds for Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov. The over/under for the total rounds in the latest boxing odds for Madrimov vs. Crawford is 10.5, while the under price is -128. The projected start time for the main event is around 11:30 a.m. ET.

Terence Crawford vs Israil Madrimov Preview

Crawford is just a few months away from his 37th birthday and this will be the first time we see him in action in over a year. However, he dominated in a ninth-round TKO win over Errol Spence to unify the welterweight titles last July. Before the fight was stopped, Crawford was ahead 79-70 on all three judges’ scorecards and had outshot Spence 185-96.

Crawford has fought just five times since December 2019, but none of those bouts were due to ring rust. He went to the 10th round just once during that span (against Shawn Porter) and has now won his last 11 fights via stoppage. He is now 40-0 with 31 knockouts in his career.

Madrimov, meanwhile, was a gold medalist at the 2017 Asian Championships and 2018 Asian Games, and also had two wins over two-time Olympic gold medalist Arlen Lopez during his amateur career. He turned professional in 2018 and was unbeaten in his first 11 bouts. Both fighters are 5’8″, but Madrimov will be 5 1/2 inches taller than Crawford. Here’s a look at who to back.
