Who Else Was Impressed By Israil Speed

[SouthpawRight]

Coming into the fight I was told by many he’s too slow and clumsy

But his straight right hand downstairs and to the head was working the entire night

[Gary Coleman]

I thought he'd be too slow for Bud. That wasn't the case.

[JakeTheBoxer]

I wasn`t impressed with anything. he is good, but not very good, he has no elite jab like Bivol for example. Madrimov is not on Bivol`s or GGG`s level, but weight classes exist for a reason.

[HeadShots]

he's one of them eurasian mixed dudes. thems can twitch with blacks.

Israil did some high level boxing moves

I was so happy for him when he landed a sneaky right and followed it up with a clinch immediately to prevent being countered. A page out of the elite Slick Afro-Americans

He did world class pivots and rolled out from under shots

[Joseph]

I thought he did exceptionally well at demystifying Crawford while not looking ultra spectacular himself, which ironically made him look somewhat spectacular. Easily Crawford's toughest fight thus far, and without those last two rounds, he was winning.

good scoring

I had it even after the 10th

T peeled the final two rounds away and won the fight

I think he finally figured him out after 10 and those body shots finally took their toll

T by stoppage if they rematch. He’ll focus on the body this time

[ippo]

First time Bud fought someone who near their prime and not past it.

[charliepaerker]

His right hand was fast and he threw it without any tells. Crawford had to respect it

[Spray_resistant]

I am very familiar with him and expected him to give Bud trouble but him nearly winning a decision having very close rds through the entire fight did impress me. He showed he belongs at the top of the division.
